Josh Duggar of the TLC hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting was named in a police report as the “alleged offender” in an underage sexual abuse probe, In Touch magazine is reporting exclusively.In Touch Weekly reported that the investigation became complicated when the state trooper involved with this case himself was arrested and convicted on child pornography charges and sentenced to 56 years in prison.
The charge being pursued while Josh was a minor was sexual assault in the fourth degree, multiple sources who have seen the police report and are familiar with the case told In Touch. According to the report, Josh was brought into the Arkansas State Police by his father, Jim Bob, who said he caught him leaving a young girl’s bedroom and “learned something inappropriate happened,” one source said...
Rumors about Josh have swirled for years, but In Touch’s investigation has uncovered the secret he has been hiding. “I saw and read the report and it clearly stated that Jim Bob brought his son Josh into the Arkansas State Police and spoke to a state trooper about Josh’s involvement in alleged inappropriate touching with a minor,” one source told In Touch.
The investigation against Duggar was eventually dropped when the three-year statute of limitations passed.
It is extremely worth noting that Josh Duggar has not been convicted of anything related to these accusations. We also do not know the details surrounding this accusation or anything about the victim. It could easily be a situation involving a teen girl in a consensual exchange -- that his conservative Christian father objected to on moral grounds, causing him to pull a "tough love" move.
Josh Duggar is currently a senior executive with the Family Research Council. Part of his job is traveling the country in a bus and advocating against LGBT rights and families.
