Overview
- Hamilton County records list nine counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, with bond set at $50,000 and a court hearing scheduled for Jan. 20.
- An affidavit says Collins’ wife discovered explicit files in a hidden folder while holding his phone during a medical procedure, then documented them and contacted police after seeking guidance from their church.
- Deputies detained Collins during a traffic stop, seized his phone, and—after he consented to searches—recovered two SD cards from small cameras and an older phone at his home.
- A forensic exam found nine video files timestamped in 2025 that investigators say came from concealed bathroom cameras positioned toward the shower and toilet.
- Investigators report Collins admitted knowing about the cameras, using an app to view footage, and keeping then deleting a nude image, and Abba’s House says he has been removed from his deacon role and was reported to law enforcement.
