Joseph Duggar, 31, was arrested yesterday, March 18th, in Northwest Arkansas and is awaiting extradition to Bay County on the Florida Panhandle. According to a statement posted to the Facebook page for the Bay County Sheriff's Office, Joseph faces charges involving the molestation of a minor. The alleged incidents took place during a 2020 family vacation in Panama City Beach. The statement says that Joseph "admitted his actions to the victim's father and to Tontitown detectives."
OH NO! This is so tragic! My heart breaks for the poor young girl this happened too and also Joseph's wife and kids. So sad!!
ReplyDeleteI feel sad and sick about this. He seemed to be truly affected by his big brother's sin/crimes way back when those first came out, and he seemed to be a different kind of guy, tenderhearted and loving his wife and family. And maybe all that was genuine at the time, maybe not. It's sad that he didn't deal with the intrusive, twisted thoughts when he first had them. I hope Kendra has strong support, that her kids will be able to have some truly God-loving men of integrity to be examples as they grow up, and that men (and women) who claim to be Christians will truly hunger and thirst after righteousness and get serious about not entertaining sin in their minds.
ReplyDeleteWhen one member of a family commits this kind of abuse, it’s tragic and awful but not unheard of. When two siblings in the same family commit similar levels of this kind of abuse… it’s time to look at and analyze how they were raised. How many more Duggar brothers will be arrested on similar charges before people start paying real attention to what went wrong in their upbringing. Prayers for healing for his victim 🙏
ReplyDeleteI'm as shocked as everyone else is I'm sure. Instead of spewing hatred let's pray for Kendra and their children,and for Joseph because he needs the prayers the most. Sigh. 😓
ReplyDeleteAmazing that he would engage in that sort of behavior after Josh harmed his sister in such a way.
