The Duggars: Josh molested several "young females" as a teen

Yep. The guy that works at the Family Research Council. One of the girls told his father. His parents covered it up by sending him away. The church covered it up. Oprah brought it to CPS's attention, but Daddy wouldn't allow them to interview him. Nothing came of it. The story is breaking now. It happened in and around 2006. Obviously, it was his sisters, but their names are being kept out of the story. I wonder if he will have to resign from the job where he gets paid to say that my family is destroying traditional families?

At least it was opposite-sex molestation.

How about the nugget that the state trooper who gave Josh a 'very stern talk' is now serving 56 years for child pornography.

I mean...

I knew a girl once who got a very stern talk...

And Michelle Duggar recorded an automated call that told people in the great state of Arkansas to vote against a bill that would allow trans folks to use whichever bathroom they felt appropriate. One of her reasons was that it allowed pedophiles access to your children...

I think it takes a lot more than some kiddie-diddling to make someone resign from a officially recognized hate group.

I don't even think this would get their show taken off the air.

Knew there was something weird about them. I used to watch them. They seem nice, but there was something creepy about them.

The gays are criticizing a Duggar, y'all. It's time to start a GoFundMe account for the fine Christian family being attacked.

He resigned from FRC.

The thing is, he was only 14 (supposedly), at the time. I am far more sickened by the cover up than by what he did. They are now saying they all had counseling, but initial police reports said they didn't. The hypocrisy of attacking gays and trans people is what has me livid.

So he told the church, but shouldn't they have alerted authorities immediately?

They're just like the pedo-protecting Pope.

I read that there is no statute of limitations on child molestation, but little can be done if the family of the victim doesn't press charges. It just becomes a CPS issue.

It's nice how TLC is treating this. Honey Boo Boo got cancelled right away after allegations of the mother dating a sex offender came out. But, they still are okay with subjecting the world to the Duggars. Granted, neither show is good. Just an interesting comparison.

Taz - not aware of the current  pope protecting any pedos!

This story is very sad for the girls and hypocrisy at its finest!

"Taz - not aware of the current  pope protecting any pedos! "

The Vatican still protects pedophile priests.

Duly noted!  Thanks Erik.

Personally, I've never liked their TV show, or all of the publicity surrounding them every time they announced they were having another baby.

I think TLC should cancel this show.  There is no place in the world of 'entertainment' for this, and they should not support this family given the cover-up.

Show's pulled and may be canceled.

GOOD.

Have we learned nothing?  This will only lead to Mike Huckabee starting a Kickstarter for the molester and he'll have 9 million dollars and a lifetime supply of Chik-fil-A within 24 hours.

It will be verrrrrrrry interesting to see which right wing crusaders will come to the aid of this horrifying family.

F*CKabee has already swooped in to defend them. 

"Those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins in order to discredit the Duggar family have actually revealed their own insensitive bloodthirst, for there was no consideration of the fact that the victims wanted this to be left in the past and ultimately a judge had the information on file destroyed—not to protect Josh, but the innocent victims."
