Josh Duggar, one of the headliners of TLC's titular family reality show 19 Kids and Counting, has been arrested by the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Arkansas.
According to online records, Duggar was booked and placed on a federal hold Thursday afternoon at Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville. Under charges, it lists only "hold for other dept." No bond is listed.
Duggar co-starred with his large family in 19 Kids and Counting from 2008 to 2015. However, that show was canceled after Josh was accused of having molested underage girls, including several of his sisters, when he was a teenager more than 10 years earlier. He admitted to having done so and apologized, explaining that he'd since spoken to authorities and received counseling. No charges were filed in those cases. Duggar also ended up resigning from his role as a lobbyist for the Family Research Council, which bills itself as "advancing faith, family, and freedom in public policy and the culture from a biblical worldview."

One would think that nobody is “born this way” when it comes to these predilections in young adults. Or is it a closer question?
Exactly what kind of behavior “crosses the line” and at what age and in what situation?
This would seem to be potentially a very thorny issue any way you slice it.
Can a cycle of production of such people be identified while it is in progress and ended or “cut off”?
