It’s worse than the original reports, looks like it involved his sisters, that’s how it stayed covered up so long:
In March of 2002 an unnamed minor said that Josh Duggar, then 14, ‘had been touching her breasts and genitals while she slept.’
He would admit to this a few months later in July, and a member of the family claims they had a meeting to discuss the incident.
Then, in March 2003, ‘several’ minors came forward to say that Josh had been touching them ‘when they sleep,’ leading to his father Jim Bob holding another family meeting and deciding to speak with elders at the family’s church about the offenses.
It was suggested that Josh should enter a treatment program, at which point he spent four months in Little Rock, Arkansas helping a family friend remodel a building.
Upon his return, Jim Bob informed those aware of the situation that Josh had received counseling and took him to a family friend who was a state trooper to reveal what had occurred, resulting in the teenager getting a stern lecture but no formal report being filed by police.
By all accounts the offenses stopped and Josh apologized to the victim, but some time in 2006 an individual in the church who had borrowed a book from the Duggars found a note detailing Josh’s molestation of minors.
That person then sent that information in an email to The Oprah Winfrey Show shortly before the Duggars were set to appear, and they in turn notified authorities who began conducted an investigation.
Jim Bob and Michelle along with all the victims were interviewed, though Josh was made unavailable to speak by his parents and no charges were pursued in the end as the statute of limitations had by that point run out.
I want to say I don’t care who the victims are but really I do. What I mean is, it does not matter if they are his sisters, girls at school or even girls he never knew they are girls he has hurt for life. I am very upset over this. I am upset at how his parents handled this. How the law handled this. How the victims are treated by there not being justice served, no matter who the victims are.
