BUT, a 14 year old sneaking into his sisters rooms and fondling/penetrating them is not normal behavior and indicates more than just “teens being teens” behavior.
I groped when I was 14. Had my sons felt up a girlfriend when they were 14, I would have ripped them and warned them about the dangers. Had they done that to their 8 year old sister, my wife would have had to have restrained me from knocking them out. At the very least, we would have reported it and sent them straight to counseling. They would have been monitored and boundaries in place for the rest of their lives.
This moves beyond exploring sexually, and is a symptom of something gone wrong in his brain that is almost impossible to cure. I feel bad for the family, but that is the simple reality. Their son has a problem beyond just simple sex issues. You don't grow out of pedophilia tendencies.
That said, those celebrating the revelations and labeling him are guilty of the same or worse hypocrisy.

This.
It’s the truth. What turns people on is what turns people on.
Bill Cosby wasn’t having a ton of extra-marital affairs, seducing women who wanted to be with him. He was drugging and using their bodies against their will to engage in masturbatory fantasies. So was this teen Duggar, repeatedly using unwilling child victims to satisfy himself sexually. He did it many times and no one knows if it stopped back then. He no doubt still has the same fantasies. He is a danger to little girls. I would NOT want to be his wife, who is surely hoping for more children including female ones.
Please don’t ever think that being religious or praying or coming from a religious family (of any religion) means someone can’t choose to engage in evil.
