There wasn't much evidence against him, and especially because of his age. Collins wasn't arrested immediately even though Robbie had identified him as his attacker. Robbie endured over 150 surgeries before finally succumbing to skin cancer after a life of agony. But before he died in 2011, he told the police that Collins had raped him two weeks before the attack.
