Josh Duggar charged with Receipt/Possession Child Sexual Abuse Material, 29 April 2021 #1

I don't watch the show. But I read that those brothers still share a bedroom in their new places. Is that correct??

With twin beds that they took from their sister’s room. Even though the apartment had two bedrooms, they shared a room. I guess they’re used to it.

An Oprah Winfrey Show interview with some of the Duggars was apparently in the planning stages when, per the report, Harpo received an email on Dec. 7, 2006, in which the sender claimed that Josh (whose name was blacked out by authorities wherever mentioned throughout the report) had molested certain minor victims (whose names were also blacked out throughout) and the Duggars were "not what they seem to be."

"I think that you should know the truth before they make a complete fool of you and your show," read the tip, as included in the report.

In response to the conditions of potential release outlined by Judge Erin L. Wiedemann during the April 30 arraignment, the motion says Duggar "has provided this Court's Office of Pretrial Services the name and contact information of a third-party custodian with whom Duggar can reside. No minor children reside in that home."

I haven't found a complete report of today's hearing but I saw that earlier Josh's lawyers asked that he be allowed to return home to his family while awaiting trial.

I guess all that counseling didn't stick very well.

The sun page also says Jill and Amy are there. I wonder if it's to support Josh or to make sure he doesn't get out on bail.

I’m pretty sure poor Jill isn’t there to support him. She’s the only one ostracized by the family. Think of that- Josh molests his siblings several times. He cheats on his wife with a star. He apparently has an on-going “” addiction. He then gets caught for child sexual abuse images. And yet he’s continually embraced by his family.

But Jill! She refuses to be part of the Counting On thing anymore because she wants her own contract, and she cuts her hair, wears a tiny nose ring, wears pants! goes to therapy, and, GASP, has a drink. And she’s totally ostracized.

I can only imagine the total feeling of betrayal and grief she feels at having been compelled to forgive this ******* and told he had repented and was redeemed and the watched as he regained his honored position as a family patriarch.

Poor woman.

So far CNN is report July 6 is day set for trial. No news on bail. The court may be keeping it quiet from the public until Josh is safely out of the court house and hidden away. That has been done on other court cases.

Ah, here we go:

Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Gerald Faulkner, testifying for the prosecution, alleged Duggar downloaded computer files depicting child sex abuse on May 14, 15 and 16 of 2019.

The files were initially flagged by a police detective in Little Rock, Ark., and then allegedly traced to Duggar's IP address on a computer at his workplace at the time, the Wholesale Motorcars dealership.

One file, according to Faulkner, depicted child sex abuse involving children ranging from 18 months to 12 years of age. Faulkner described the images as "in the top five of the worst of the worst that I've ever had to examine."

More at the link, including an interesting comment from Josh: When officials raided the car dealership they asked to speak to Josh. Without knowing why they were there he spontaneously asked if someone was downloading child . Hmm.

There was NO actual counseling. He went to Reformer’s Anonymous for six months which is a christian rehab that focuses on prayer, bible study and labor. There is not one mental health professional on staff. They do not believe in psychology in that sect.

as someone said Jill is the one ostracized by her family and the one who spoke about being in therapy. Cousin Amy is from what I gather from social media posts one of her best friends and provides emotional support. Amy might be there for Jill.

Not sure. Haven't been here in a while so I don't remember all the rules. But a mod on a previous page posted about it so maybe it's okay?

Yet, I’m reading it is all via Zoom, where you can choose your login name...

It is somehow worse than I thought. I am so so disgusted and horrified. He has 3 DAUGHTERS over the age of 18 months and his wife is pregnant with another! I am praying that they have never fallen victim to him. He is a monster. And yeah, I will say that. I fully believe he is guilty.

And all this time he was around SO many children. I am SICK.

Is The Sun a reliable source and allowed per TOS here?

It's considered MSM and the link was first posted by a mod. So yes it is considered reliable.

 

[Scrapper18]

Thanks @Springrain.

Right now the only positive thing I can say is those kids did not have to witness him being arrested... So many disgusting things in that article.

The latest article posted was from Reuters. I am pretty sure that they are reliable. It is being reported on all platforms.

Faulkner alleged that when Duggar was asked point blank about seeing or having child sex abuse material in his possession, he said, "I'd rather not answer that question."

Faulkner also said Duggar had a program on his computer called "Covenant Eyes," which the agent described as "accountability software" that monitors and reports objectionable internet use to a partner and is meant to help people with addictions. According to Faulkner, the program was registered to Duggar and would send reports to his wife, Anna.

But according to Faulkner, Covenant Eyes was unable to detect Duggar's internet usage on the password-protected network he used.

I assume Jill and Amy are on the Zoom call because they are horrified and want to see the charges. I know some of the other family members are downplaying the situation, but I believe Jill and Amy realize how serious it is.

Thanks @Springrain.

I wonder what they have told the kids. The oldest kid is about 11 or 12 and has to know something is wrong. But I am also glad they didn't see the arrest.

 

[Scrapper18]

Anyone heard anything on bail yet?

Thank you! I was beginning to worry we were going to have to deal with a gag order.
