Sheriff's Report: One Of Josh Duggar's Alleged Victims Was 5-Year-Old Girl

Source: TPM



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 at least five girls from 2002-2003, when he was 14 years old. That report was heavily blacked out throughout.

The age of one of Duggar's alleged victims was revealed in a contemporaneous report from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, which was also involved in the investigation. That report appeared to have blacked out only Duggar's and his alleged victims' names.

Duggar acknowledged last month in a statement that he "acted inexcusably" as a teenager without elaborating further. He also resigned from his position as the executive director of the anti-gay Family Research Council's lobbying arm.

I don't know his history personally but I am going to guess from the reports of his abusing young girls and his pretty boy looks this boy was a abused as a child while in family unit promoted by national media to be an example for the Christian right to look up to. So sad

Well, she does have the mind and maturity of a five year old.

So that explains that...

Looks like she is not comfortable with his right hand possibly reaching searching for her bra. Plus his smug grin possibly because he knows he is in his element with a couple possible victims.

So sad, I hope we get to hear more about him so maybe his victims can heal a little and its not swept under the rug.

police report but not the names of her parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, who also happen to be Josh's parents. Accoring to the report 4 of the five victims were his sisters. Nothing like keeping it in the family.

Jim Bob and Michelle waited about a year to go to the police, right?

Well, does anyone know what prompted them to go to the police at that time? I've probably missed a pertinent fact in this story, but something must've happened that made them believe it was going to be necessary to go to the police; otherwise, they would have just kept it quietly inside their little "circle" of creepy people.

Yes, I am aware that when they did go to the police, they went to a creepy friend. But what prompted that visit? Does anyone know and can get me up to speed?

it was because the Oprah Winfrey show canceled their appearance and forwarded information they had received to the police as well as to whatever Arkansas has for Child Protection (DHS???). In order words they had no choice in the matter.

She was sitting on his lap-

I hope she doesn't get re-traumatized by this...obviously the sick parents didn't get the girls any help-

She is 17 right now...and anyone can figure out her name now based on birthdays of the girls (from Duggar family blog)

Remember that old poem about the pig lying in the gutter with the drunk that ends with this: " you are known by the company you keep and the pig got up and quickly walked away".

Josh Duggar planned on entering politics, he would be so perfect with the Repubs in the pictures. Especially Huckabee. When all this happened, Huckabee was governor of Arkansas. I wonder how involved he was in the cover-up?

and Christ gives him a kiss - all is forgiven. You see Mrs. Jenner is an abomination in the eyes of God (according to the conservatives) , but Mr. Dugger is a Christian that only needs to ask for forgiveness for who are we to judge?
