No details.
Not followed up.
Statute of limitations has passed.
He was 17 at the time.
He’s married and 27 now.

Could this BE a bigger nothing burger?

Relative to the rest of society, this sounds like “normal” behavior. At least it was a girl... Maybe he was “inspired” by his parents’ creepy behavior...and their constant discussion of their sexual and reproductive activity, which is really TMI.

The secular world is out to get the Duggers. I think I will wait for more information to become public.

Anything is possible...including the possibility that someone is trying to slander the Executive Director of the Family Research Council, an organization that liberals love to hate.

If his father turned him in, it was likely one of his sisters. Creepy.

Because the police were involved, if it was a serious offence I’m sure Josh would be finishing his stint in prison about now.

Depending on the charge, there may be no statute of limitation. In Arkansas sex cases, generally Class A Felonies have no limit, and Class A Misdemeanors can be brought until the victim is 28 years old.

ANYONE raised in the weird conditions supported by this more than unusual family....would be so sexually frustrated as to be paranoid...I was not sexually active until I married, but kisses, necking etc were certainly part of courting. They are a wonderful family but totally unrealistic.

Aren’t they against hand-holding as well? Or is that some other group of extremists that I’m thinking of?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's them.

Michelle and Jim Bob, who are devout fundamentalist Independent Baptists, also require that their daughters’ suitors include them on any text messages. “It’s neat to see their conversations,” Jim Bob told Today.com.

I first heard the rumor years ago and at the time the victim was supposedly one of his sisters. I didn’t think much of the story except that it was probably another attempt by the left to take down someone from the religious right. I hope the story isn’t true.

The article was obvious in its bias. Three photos of him with Republicans including Cruz and Santorum.

Or the father's favorite squeeze...even creepier.

Actually there is another family that is very similar. They are friends of The Duggars. The Bates in Tennessee limit physical contact when dating and their kids and they can not date alone. They seem to be a good solid family. Zack their oldest son Zack is one of the County Commissioners in my county {the youngest to ever be elected} in his second term now I think and has also ran for County Mayor.

Gil the dad of the family has a tree service business & is a minister. The family has started a church and Gil is the minister. Their kids also have volunteered in the community such as being Volunteer Firemen a huge necessity in this county. VFD's are often our medical first responders in the rural area.

Really their dating rules were not that uncommon a generation or two ago. I'm 57 and knew kids growing up living under similar dating rules. Christian family with 19 kids

This isn’t a new allegation. I first read it 6 or 7 years ago when it was posted on a homeschool forum.
