Surprised no one's posted about this yet:
He's pretty much admitted that it happened, but the statute of limitations being out means he can't be prosecuted for it. However, there appears to be a double standard being exercised by the channel responsible for the show Josh Duggar appears on, 19 Kids and Counting, that being TLC. One of their other famous shows, the asinine Honey Boo Boo, was removed from the air when it was revealed that one of the people on the show was arrested for being a sexual predator. One has to wonder why they have not (at least, as of yet) made the same move for 19 Kids and Counting, and finally removed this waste of television programming from the airwaves.
I'll be honest; I vastly dislike the show. I think it's asinine (albeit slightly less so than Honey Boo Boo) and cheap exploitation of young children who don't know any better by avaricious parents and television executives, and I absolutely despise the Duggar parents for putting their children through what they do and not act in their children's best interests (there's evidence that all Michelle does is pop out the kids and then essentially turn them over to the older children for caretaking, a move which is not healthy for either the younger kids or the older kids). I also despise their so-called Quiverfull movement, which advocates that women essentially remain "barefoot and pregnant", to borrow a phrase, not use birth control, and turn over all control over their lives and well-being to their husband, who can essentially do as he pleases with minimal consequences. But the main reason I get angry over this is that it was essentially all swept under the rug until recently, and while Josh Duggar was a kid himself when he did it, unless he's had years of therapy since, those urges are very likely still there, and he now has three children, a fourth on the way, and can get access to his younger siblings as well, a move he's already pulled if the report is to be believed. It sickens me to think that this family still has access to the public via their show and present themselves as though butter wouldn't melt in their mouths when apparently in reality, they let their kids get away with felonies and think a few months of manual labor will be enough to train it out of them. I'm willing to bet that Josh Duggar still has those urges, and if given the opportunity, I'd also be willing to bet he'd act on them to this day. TLC needs to get their damn act together and remove this show from the channel; I only wish that Josh Duggar could also get arrested for this, because he seriously needs help he's not getting from his family.

Josh Duggar has apologized following reports that he was investigated for allegedly sexually molesting five underage girls, some of whom are his sisters. ... According to police reports obtained by In Touch, family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar allegedly waited more than a year before he turned in his then-teenage son over to Arkansas State Police for sex offenses, including forcible fondling. Due to a strange turn of events, the magazine reported that police were unable to conclude their investigation of the case, and the three-year statute of limitations prevented them from further pursuing any charges. |
