"Police officers in Tontitown, Arkansas, on Wednesday contacted deputies in Bay County, saying they had interviewed a 14-year-old girl who told them that Duggar had molested her several times during a family trip to Panama City Beach when she was age 9, according to the affidavit."
"The girl's father confronted Duggar about the abuse this week, and the father said Duggar admitted to it. Police officers in Tontitown had the father call Duggar with a detective on the line, and he again admitted to the actions, the arrest affidavit said."
"TLC canceled the show in 2015 following allegations that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a babysitter years earlier. Josh Duggar's parents said he had confessed to the fondling and apologized."
Joseph Duggar, 31, a former cast member of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," was arrested in Arkansas and faces extradition to Florida on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior toward a child under 12. According to police records, a 14-year-old girl reported that Duggar molested her multiple times during a family trip to Panama City Beach when she was 9 years old. The girl's father confronted Duggar about the abuse, and Duggar admitted to the allegations. Police conducted a recorded phone call with Duggar, during which he again acknowledged the actions. This case follows his brother Josh Duggar's 2022 conviction for downloading child sexual abuse images, which led to TLC canceling "19 Kids and Counting" in 2015 after allegations emerged that Josh had molested family members.
