Former reality TV star accused of child molestation

Joseph Duggar
  • Joseph Duggar, a former star of 19 Kids and Counting, has been arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior in Florida.
  • The Bay County Sheriff’s Office announced his custody after a detective in Tontitown, Arkansas, reported alleged sexual abuse.
  • The charges stem from incidents in 2020 in Panama City Beach, Florida, where Duggar allegedly sexually abused a 9-year-old girl during a family vacation.
  • The victim, now 14, disclosed in a forensic interview that Duggar “manipulated her underwear and grazed her genitals.”
  • Duggar reportedly confessed his actions to detectives in Tontitown after being confronted by the victim's father, leading to his out-of-state arrest.
