Josh Duggar sued Arkansas in 2007 because they investigated his sexual assaults
Josh Duggar filed a lawsuit against Arkansas Department of Human Services in 2007, shortly after the agency began investigating him for multiple charges of sexual assault, In Touch Weekly reports.
Though Springdale police declined to prosecute Josh Duggar for molesting several girls including some of his sisters in 2006, the department referred Duggars file to the states Families in Need of Services agency, a body that monitors criminal cases against juveniles. Families in Need, in turn, informed Arkansas Department of Human Services of the allegations against the former star in TLCs hit reality show, 19 Kids and Counting.
During the course of the Department of Human Services investigative proceedings, Josh Duggar took issue with the municipal entity and filed suit. A trial was held on August 6, 2007, writes In Touch Weekly. However, the results of the investigation into the Duggars and Joshs trial are sealed.
Born on March 3, 1988, Josh Duggar would have been 19 years old at the time of his trial. ArkansasOnline points out that one of Duggars victims is still a minor. Even if the survivor is nearing 18 years of age, she would have been at most 9 years old during the summer her brother appeared in court to defend himself against years of sexual assault charges.
