Jim Bob Duggar waited more than a year after his son, Josh, confessed to sexually molesting several female minors before contacting police, In Touch Magazine is reporting exclusively, based on information contained in the official police report.:snoop
What’s more, Jim Bob informed the elders of his church about Joshua’s actions and they waited three months before contacting authorities. The explosive new information is contained in a Springdale, Ark., police report obtained by In Touch magazine.
Other bombshells in the police report are: Josh Duggar was investigated for multiple sex offenses — including forcible fondling — against five minors. Some of the alleged offenses investigated were felonies. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were interview by the Springdale Police department on Dec. 12, 2006. The report says that James told police he was alerted in March, 2002 by a female minor that Josh — who turned 14-years-old that month — had been touching her breasts and genitals while she slept. This allegedly happened on multiple occasions. In 2006, Jim Bob told police that in July, 2002 Josh admitted to fondling a minor’s breasts while she slept. “James said that they disciplined (redacted, Josh) after this incident.” The family did not alert authorities.
Jim Bob then “met with the elders of his church and told them what was going on.” No one alerted the police or any other law enforcement agency. Instead they decided to send Josh to a “program [that] consisted of hard physical work and counseling. James said that [redacted, Josh] was in the program from March 17, 2003 until July 17, 2003.”
He said the program was a “Christian program.” Michelle Duggar later admitted to police that Josh did not receive counseling and instead had been sent during that time to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business.
Jim Bob told police in 2006 that when Josh returned home in 2003, Jim Bob, accompanied by some of his church elders, took Josh to Arkansas State Trooper, Jim Hutchens. Jim Bob knew Hutchens personally. Hutchens did not take any official action and instead gave Josh a “very stern talk.” As In Touch magazine reports exclusively in this week’s issue, Hutchens is now serving 56-years in prison for child pornography. He took no action on the Duggar case.http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/bombshell-duggar-police-report-jim-bob-duggar-didn-t-report-son-josh-s-alleged-sex-offenses-for-more-than-a-year-58906
"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life."

The Duggars chose to wait before having children and used birth control pills in the early years of their marriage. Their eldest child, Josh, was born in 1988. They resumed using oral contraceptives after Josh's birth but conceived again despite this precaution. Michelle miscarried that pregnancy. Michelle has mentioned that they named that child Caleb, despite not knowing the baby's sex for certain. The Duggars believed the miscarriage was due to their use of contraceptives, and decided to stop using birth control. They decided to "allow God to determine the number of children they would have."
They adhere to certain standards of modesty in clothing in accordance with their religious beliefs. Shorts and tank tops are prohibited, and the women do not wear skirts with a length above the knee. According to Michelle, the Duggars feel that exposure of the thighs amounts to "nakedness and shame," and runs the risk of "defrauding" others by encouraging lustful thoughts. They avoid beaches and swimming in public to negate the possibility of exposure to other women and "lustful thoughts" by their men.
Female family members do not cut their hair short, and males are clean-shaven and short-haired. They practice chaperoned courtship, instead of typical dating, which includes rules against such things as any physical contact. The suitor must ask permission from the young woman's father before approaching her for a courtship and before proposing to her.
The Duggars issued an announcement that Jessa Duggar was in a courtship with Ben Seewald on September 18, 2013. The couple met through their church and were "enjoying getting to know each other and are recommending sermons to one another."
Jill's courtship with Derrick Dillard was announced on March 31, 2014. They were introduced by Jim and became acquainted via supervised Skype and text conversations while Derick was serving as a missionary in Nepal. Jill and Jim traveled to Nepal to meet Derick in person and began a formal courtship in November 2013.
The couple had discussed the possibility of having more children, with Michelle Duggar saying,
We would love more! I'm 43, almost 44 this September. I know that my mommy years are probably numbered, and I don't know how many more children God will see fit to give me. ... It is something we've been praying about because we do love children. Each child really is a gift and that doesn't mean just our children. We asked the Lord to give us a love of children the way He loves children. That is something that we've prayed about, and we'll just see what the Lord has in store for our family in the future.
As Business Insider first reported, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the social conservative icons whose enormous family star in the TLC reality series 19 Kids and Counting, have endorsed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee‘s bid for the presidency on the very afternoon he announced.
The couple famously supported Santorum in his 2012 bid.
When Huckabee announced his candidacy, the Duggars publicly supported him on the campaign website’s “I Like Mike” page. The former Fox News host is a “man of faith who is very wise,” wrote Michelle. “He will help get our national back on track.
“America needs Governor Huckabee for president!” Jim Bob said. “Governor Huckabee has the communication skills of Ronald Reagan, and a common sense business approach to government.”
In his new book God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy, the former Arkansas governor calls Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 children “every parent’s dream” in their “attitudes toward each other, their parents, and their chores.”:hitler
“I’ve marveled at the exemplary manners and behavior of all their children,” Huckabee raves.
Despite Josh, Jana, Jessa, Jill and the others’ allegedly angelic behavior, the siblings “have endured relentless and vicious ridicule from the snobby and snotty sophisticates,” the 59-year-old politician claims.
These purported bullies “exemplify their own jealousy of how well behaved the Duggar kids are compared to the little hellions and yuppie larvae created by the critics of the Duggars.”
Jill's courtship with Derrick Dillard was announced on March 31, 2014.

As for the Duggars, one of the family members told investigators, "this entire incident had brought the family closer to God"

I've mentioned this before, but a teacher at the Baptist private school I played basketball for in middle/high school was caught having an affair with a student. She was around 18 when it was discovered but it more than likely began when she was underage. The girl was exiled from the school and church before she could graduate. Meanwhile the teacher lost his job but was brought back to do odd jobs (yard/construction work, refereed some of our games lol, etc)...before being reinstated as a teacher (science/biology).
"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," Huckabee wrote....(http://i.imgur.com/YMFSeKR.gif)
Arkansas Sen. Bart Hester said Josh Duggar, who he has known for about five years, has been open and honest about the incident with wife, family and friends. State Sen. Jon Woods, who has known the Duggar family since 2005, said the family had put the issue behind them.

our justice system truly is amazing. be a white conservative hillbilly fuck and you can get away with being a serial kid rapist, as long as you say you payed for forgiveness. meanwhile these are the same turds who push for anti- everything legislation and preach extreme judgementalism.
the megachurch near where I grew up, and where a lot of my family went, is dealing with the same shit right now. the old fucks that ran the church knew the youth pastor was molesting kids left and right but did nothing bc personal reflection and accountability isn't something the church actually wants. fortunately in that case the law did something and now the dude is locked up for life.
Honestly, this family really strengthens my argument that there should not be an absolute right to unlimited procreation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlDIS0ymdU
How much does the fact that he was 14 or 15 affect you guys' thoughts about this matter?
I don't really know enough to form an opinion on that aspect of it.

A Republican lawmaker on Saturday called for the termination of the police chief who released a 2006 offense report alleging that Josh Duggar, of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," molested five underage girls when he was a teenager.
Arkansas state Sen. Bart Hester (R) told local TV station KFSM that he believed Springdale Police Chief Kathy O'Kelly compromised the identities of the eldest Duggar's alleged victims by releasing the police report.
“The law to protect minors’ identities is not a suggestion,” Hester said. “So sad to see the person charged with protecting the community being so reckless and irresponsible. I believe it is unavoidable that the Springdale police chief should be terminated. She has re-victimized these young ladies.”
Tabloid magazine In Touch Weekly on Thursday published the offense report, which it obtained through a public records request. The names of the victims, as well as Josh Duggar's name, were redacted. The report was destroyed the same day it was published in the magazine by order of Judge Stacey Zimmerman.
Yet Hester suggested that the identities of all sex crimes victims in Springdale were now in danger of becoming public based on the way O'Kelly handled the Duggar offense report. He went as far as suggesting that the police chief could face criminal charges.
“The city of Springdale’s liability seems endless on this,” he told KFSM. “I certainly anticipate criminal charges against Chief O’Kelley.”

I just don't think the "best possible legal help" exists in the U.S.
From what I've read of the sex offender registry, you might as well just kill yourself once you get put on it. Your life as you knew it is over.
The U.S. has very poor systems for dealing with situations like this, IMO. The framework creates perverse incentives.

You could say Jimbob digs duggers. :phil (http://i.imgur.com/Sk1GHHf.png) (http://i.imgur.com/GfgHYQ2.png)
Seewald spent most of the post giving a faith-based argument for why Duggar should be beyond reproach in the present day and at times seemed to characterize Duggar's "sins" as inevitable. While he said Duggar's alleged sex crimes were "reprehensible," Seewald argued it was improper to judge him for those offenses because he'd sought forgiveness over the years from both the alleged victims and Jesus Christ.
Josh Duggar confessed to his father Jim Bob Duggar on THREE separate occasions to multiple acts of sexual molestation against his sisters and a family friend, according to a new police report obtained exclusively by In Touch magazine.http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/josh-duggar-chilling-molestation-confession-in-new-police-report-59752
The document also makes clear that Josh was 15 years old when he molested his 5-year-old sister and committed at least SEVEN acts of sexual molestation.
The Washington County Sheriff’s document makes it clear that despite Josh’s chilling confessions the Duggars waited at least 16 months before contacting authorities about the molestations, even though the behavior was continuing and growing worse. During that period they did not get professional counseling for Josh or his victims. Legal experts tell In Touch that Jim Bob and Michelle could have faced six years in prison for their inaction, if the statute of limitations had not expired.
The report details that Josh went from sister to sister, stating, “Apparently all of the girls were sleeping in a common room at this time.”
As In Touch reports exclusively in its new issue, despite Josh’s confession, Jim Bob and Michelle did not get him – or their daughters -- counseling from a licensed mental health professional for at least 16 months. They have said the children did receive counseling but refuse to say if it was court ordered after the Families In Need of Services and the Arkansas Department of Human Services became involved in the Duggar case.
By the time police launched their investigation in 2006, the statute of limitations had expired and police turned the matter over to social services. The Duggars did eventually take Josh to a a state trooper Joseph Hutchens. But Hutchens, who is serving 56 years in prison, said in an interview from behind bars that Jim Bob and Josh told him about only one incident and that’s why he didn’t report it to the child abuse hotline. The new police report states only that Jim Bob said when they visited Hutchens Josh “had admitted to Cpl Hutchins (sic) what he had done.” The police did not independently verify that.
even though the behavior was continuing and growing worse
Jessa’s father-in-law, Michael Seewald, wrote a lengthy blog post last month in support of the man who molested his son’s wife as a teen:
"In the end Josh sought forgiveness from those he wronged, repented of his sins, and came to trust Christ as his Savior. He has to the present day attested to the reality of his repentance and faith by living above reproach. In their efforts to salvage the wreckage that these transgressions brought, and bring healing to all involved, Jim Bob and Michelle are to be commended."
“He had gone in and just basically touched them over their clothes while they were sleeping. They didn’t even know he had done it,” Jim Bob said. Later Jim Bob admitted there “were a couple incidents where he touched them under their clothes, but it was like a few seconds.”:beli
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee continued to defend the Duggar family in an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Monday night, attacking the media for its “exploitation” of the girls whom older brother Josh Duggar admitted to molesting when he was a teenager.
Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, where the Duggar family resides, said he was “stunned and shocked” that the girls were “exploited in this by the media for their own purposes.”
“There was no interest in the media to protect those girls. There was no interest to make sure that their interests were served. And I think your interview pointed out that they had a very different reaction to all of this than did their critics, who were out to destroy their family,” Huckabee told Kelly, referencing an earlier interview with family members on “The Kelly File.”
Reopening the issue in this public way violates state law, he said.
“Megyn, he is an unadjudicated minor at the time that this happened. You’re an attorney. You understand that a person is innocent until proven guilty,” Huckabee said.
“But he confessed,” Kelly responded.
“He was never adjudicated, but he did not confess in a court of law. The law does not hold him accountable, even if he confesses,” Huckabee said.
The bigger issue, he added, is that the girls were exploited by the “illegal, unlawful release” of the information surrounding their molestation.
“It was not about the victims. It was about trying to go after the Duggars. They have been known as a family that is a Christian family, and if a liberal has anything like this kind of situation, it’s no big deal,” Huckabee said, echoing Sarah Palin in his invocation of Lena Dunham, the liberal star of HBO’s “Girls,” who has said that, when she was 7 years old, she inappropriately touched her 1-year-old sister.
...
adding that he has not heard much about his support of the Duggars from people on the campaign trail.
“I never get a question about this unless it’s to say, ‘By the way, why is this such a big issue?’” he said.
“Megyn, he is an unadjudicated minor at the time that this happened. You’re an attorney. You understand that a person is innocent until proven guilty,” Huckabee said.
“But he confessed,” Kelly responded.
“He was never adjudicated, but he did not confess in a court of law. The law does not hold him accountable, even if he confesses,” Huckabee said.
Fox News host Megyn Kelly responded to the brutal video showing a teen girl being manhandled by a Texas police officer by commenting that "the girl was no saint either. He had told her to leave, and she continued to linger. And when the cop tells you to leave, get out."
Sean Hannity Claims That Officer In Texas Was Justified For Pulling A Gun Because Teens Could Have Come Up And "Hit Them With A Shank In The Back."
On Fox's Hannity, guest and former NYPD detective Bo Dietl claimed that the police officer in the case could have felt justifiably threatened because the teens might have told him, "I'm gonna pop a cap."
In a June 9 post to his Facebook page, Fox contributor Todd Starnes defended the officer's treatment of so-called "teenage thugs" and warned that media criticism of the police created "a slippery slope to anarchy"
A woman writing to Robertson on his show "The 700 Club" asked for help comforting a co-worker grieving her 3-year-old's death. Robertson suggested Tuesday that the child's death was all part of God's plan to keep us safe from a future, evil dictator.
"As far as God’s concerned, He knows the end from the beginning and He sees a little baby and that little baby could grow up to be Adolf Hitler, he could grow up to be Joseph Stalin, he could grow up to be some serial killer, or he could grow up to die of a hideous disease," he said.
"God sees all of that, and for that life to be terminated while he’s a baby, he’s going to be with God forever in Heaven, so it isn’t a bad thing," the 85-year-old founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network continued, "So how could God do that? How could a good God let that happen? Well, the good God is going to take that baby to Heaven right now, and that's isn't a bad thing."
"At least now your baby won't grow up to be Hitler, Stalin, or gay unlike the times God let Hitler, Stalin, and gay people be born. You dodged a bullet."
"At least now your baby won't grow up to be Hitler, Stalin, or gay unlike the times God let Hitler, Stalin, and gay people be born. You dodged a bullet."

I mean I get that and all but it's not really convincing as an argument for segregated laboratories.

But data released online in the wake of the hack on Ashley Madison’s servers certainly seems to show otherwise. Someone using a credit card belonging to a Joshua J. Duggar, with a billing address that matches the home in Fayetteville, Arkansas owned by his grandmother Mary—a home that was consistently shown on their now-cancelled TV show, and in which Anna Duggar gave birth to her first child—paid a total of $986.76 for two different monthly Ashley Madison subscriptions from February of 2013 until May of 2015.
According to the data, Josh Duggar was paying Ashley Madison in order to find an extramarital partner for the following acts:
“Conventional Sex,” Experimenting with Sex Toys,” One-Night Stands,” “Open to Experimentation,” “Gentleness,” “Good With Your Hands,” Sensual Massage,” “Extended Foreplay/Teasing,” “Bubble Bath for 2,” “Likes to Give Oral Sex,” “Likes to Receive Oral Sex,” “Someone I Can Teach,” “Someone Who Can Teach Me,” “Kissing,” “Cuddling & Hugging,” “Sharing Fantasies,” “Sex Talk.”
“A Professional/Well Groomed,” “Stylish/Classy,” “Casual Jeans/T-shirt Type,” “Muscular/Fit Body,” ”Petite Figure,” “Tall Height,” “Short Height,” “Long Hair,””Short Hair,” “Girl Next Door,” “Naughty Girl,” “Sense of Humor,” “Imagination,” “Creative and Adventurous,” “Relaxed and Easy Going,” “Aggressive/Take Charge Nature,” “Confidence,” “Discretion/Secrecy,” “A Good Listener,” “Good Personal Hygiene,” “Average Sex Drive,” “High Sex Drive,” “Dislikes Routine,” “Has a Secret Love Nest,” “Disease Free,” “Drug Free,” and “Natural Breasts.”

I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.

"viewing pornography on the internet" sounds a lot like "smoking marijuana like a cigarette"
He updated his apology to remove the porny bits Maybe he's taking responsibility instead of blaming porn. Maybe he feels like he might need to deny looking at porn during the divorce hearings, who knows!
