Joseph Duggar, the former '19 Kids and Counting' star facing child molestation charges, has been denied the right to see his four children without supervision. A Florida judge ruled against his motion on Tuesday, allowing only supervised visits while his criminal case continues to work its way through the courts.

The ruling comes roughly three months after Duggar, 31, was arrested on 18 March in Tontitown, Arkansas, after police interviewed a 14-year-old girl who told them he had molested her several times during a family trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, when she was 9. He has pleaded not guilty.
