Joseph Duggar Arrested, Accused of Molesting 9-Year-Old Girl | E! News

Joseph Dugger, 31, was arrested in Arkansas on March 18 and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor, according to multiple law enforcement departments. The charge stemmed from a 2020 incident in which the ’19 Kids and Counting’ alum allegedly molested a 9-year-old girl during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Fla., the Bay County Sheriff’s Office of Florida said in a statement March 18. The girl, now 14, came forward to police about “past sexual abuse” and “disclosed several incidents” allegedly involving the TLC star, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Joseph’s older brother Josh Duggar was sentenced to 12 years in prison for child pornography in 2022. His appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court in June 2024. However, Josh argues he was denied a fair trial and continues to try to overturn his conviction, according to local outlet Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. E! News has reached out to the Duggar family for comment and hasn’t heard back. Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1429942/joseph-duggar-sexual-abuse-molesting-9-year-old-girl-allegation
