Josh Duggar, Executive Director of the Family Research Council Action in Ames, Iowa August 9, 2014.
Hunter Frederick, a Christian public relations expert once rumored to have been hired to help manage the fallout from the sexual abuse allegations surrounding Josh Duggar, star of "19 Kids and Counting," by the Duggar family, says the recent apology from the embattled Christian figure and his parents is not enough to sate the effects of the scandal that has engulfed the family.
"I have no reason to think their apology wasn't sincere, but an apology is one small thing that needs to happen in this very large problem," Frederick told The Christian Post on Thursday.
" The majority of people that are against the Duggars want some kind of legal punishment, which can't happen because of our country's statute of limitations law. That's why this whole thing is very sticky from a crisis management standpoint. He (Josh) has to pay his debt to society back in some form or fashion. Most of the time that's legal action, so how does that happen when he can't be prosecuted?" added Frederick, who is president of Frederick & Associates.
Josh is accused of molesting five young women when he was 14, but nothing ever came of it because the three year statute of limitations passed. His parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, as punishment, however, sent him to the Institute in Basic Life Principles which "was established for the purpose of introducing people to the Lord Jesus Christ, and ... training on how to find success by following God's principles found in Scripture," according to the organization's website.

I get it.
Agreed.
There needs to be only one penalty for molesters.
As far as I know the vast majority of sex offenders under ‘psychopath statutes’ of the Depression and McCarthy eras got lifetime mental hospital commitments, especially white middle class offenders that could be treated with a variety of experimental techniques. For blacks accused of raping white women, yeah, the death penalty in some cases may have taken over as Southern lynching laws started to fade out.
