A 5-year-old was among the young girls Josh Duggar, the eldest son of the family made famous by TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," allegedly molested when he was a teenager, according to a sheriff's report published Wednesday by tabloid magazine In Touch.
In Touch previously published a 2006 report from the Springdale, Arkansas Police Department that showed Duggar was investigated for allegedly molesting five girls from 2002-2003, when he was 14 years old. That report was heavily blacked out throughout.
..............
In the interview, Jim Bob Duggar told Connor that one of the incidents of molestation occurred in March 2003. He said that Josh Duggar had called him to say that hed inappropriately touched a 5-year-old girl who was sitting on his lap as he read to her. The Duggar patriarch also told the detective that his son put his hand up a girls dress "sometime during this time frame.
The sheriff's report, which reads more cleanly than the Springdale police report, also makes it easier to ascertain the timeline of the alleged molestation incidents. Jim Bob Duggar told the detective that his son came crying to him in March 2002 to say that he'd inappropriately touched girls "4 to 5 times" while they were sleeping. He said Josh Duggar came to him again in July 2002 to say that he'd inappropriately touched another girl, according to the report.

(444 posts)religion a sham to be used as an excuse for all their crimes and sins (and none of their crimes or sins being too vile either) for them but at the same time as an holier than thou excuse to condemn others?
Of course it is.

(30,884 posts)and that wasn't a fucking red flag that Dad's counsel and praying it away wasn't working? Jim Bob had to wait for the 5 year old to get her turn????
Josh needed counseling to nip this problem in the bud (although said counseling might have pointed the finger at the sexually repressive rules of their house and that wouldn't do.)
His sisters and the other girl needed counseling to help them understand it and learn that it was all right to say no and to report it to their parents and outsiders.
The parents both know this, having growing up in a secular world. Shame on them for putting their quiverfull experiment ahead of their children.
