This is true, but there’s also another reason he has never been arrested previously.
As a teenager, he confessed repeatedly to his parents that he molesting young girls.
As the number of victims grew, the girls all told the same story of waking up to him fondling them in their sleep, four of them were his younger sisters.
The police were never called, eventually, after numerous confessions by Josh, daddy Jim Bob told the church elders and he was sent for 3-4 months to a Christian “work and counseling center”, no professionals were involved.
Josh also received additional counseling by a State Trooper friend of the family, Joseph Hutchens, who is presently serving a 56 year sentence for a child *advertiser censored* conviction.
Josh apologized to his victims after his “rehabilitation” and the family said all the children had forgiven him.
It became public a year later after someone called and told this whole story to a child abuse hotline and they alerted the authorities, but by then, the statute of limitations had expired.
