Decades before news of Stephen Collins' alleged history of child molestation became public earlier this week, the 7th Heaven star wrote two erotic novels.

The 67-year-old actor penned Eye Contact in 1994, before 7th Heaven premiered, and Double Exposure in 1998 while the hit family show was on the air. Gawker has gotten their hands on the erotic novels and published some of the more shocking passages on their site.

Eye Contact, the more explicit of the two books, follows the story of a struggling actress in New York named Nick. In one of the novel's early sex scenes, Nick takes a man home and begins to perform oral sex on him with her apartment door open. Not even the possibility of getting caught can stop Nick's sexual desires. In a later scene, Nick exposes her breasts to a hotel room service waiter.

The novel also details Nick's earliest sexual experiences. "During her emerging swanhood, she discovered a power previously unimagined. She experienced the effect of removing her clothes in front of the opposite sex. It became her deepest secret," reveals one passage. Another reads, "The sources of her first and most heightened sexual experiences were not merely frowned upon, but illegal and sick."

In Double Exposure, one scene features the man character Joe, a father, consoling his scared young daughter. "Daddy, would anybody sneak in here and hurt me?" Collins writes. "No, sweetie," he assured her as Gayle had directed. "That'll never happen. We're ten stories up, the windows are locked, our front door is locked, and there are two more locked doors downstairs. You're completely safe."

The erotic novel revelations come just days after an audio recording of Collins supposedly admitting to molesting young girls surfaced. In the tape, Collins is heard admitting to his wife and a therapist that he molested multiple young girls. Following the shocking reports, E! News obtained the 2012 divorce papers between Collins and ex Faye Grant, which contained allegations of his history of allegedly abusing young girls.
