Joseph Duggar is the seventh of nineteenth child born to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. The family became famous on TLC's programs Nineteen Kids and Counting and Counting On. His older brother Josh Duggar was arrested and convicted of charges around child sexual abuse materials. Now, Joseph Duggar is at the center of yet another sexual abuse scandal.He is accused of lewd and lascivious behavior — molestation of a victim less than twelt-years-old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person eighteen years or older. This stems from a 2020 incident that allegedly occurred in Panama City Beach, in Florida's Bay County involving a then-nine-year-old girl.Duggar has also been hit with multiple counts around child endangerment in Arkansas. His wife Kendra Duggar is also charged with child endangerment in Arkansas.5News's airing of the clip of Joseph Duggar speaking in a jail phone call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1VBZh-eQgs5News's video on the footage of Joseph Duggar getting booked into jail: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kEZ8ZVUfny4The Hollywood Reporter's coverage of former Arkansas state trooper Joseph Hutchens' statements on the Duggar family after his conviction on child sexual abuse materials charges: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/19-kids-counting-state-trooper-798376/USA Today's coverage of the arrests of Joseph and Kendra Duggar: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2026/03/20/joseph-duggars-wife-kendra-19-kids-and-counting-arrest/89255598007/The New York Times's coverage of the arrests of Joseph and Kendra Duggar: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/us/kendra-joseph-dugger-misdemeanor-arrest.htmlWe access Log Cabin Democrat through Newspapers.com.Check out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsPre-order our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to [email protected] Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
