Josh Duggar resigns from Family Research Council after sexual abuse allegations
FOX News ^ | 21 MAY 2015

Posted on 05/21/2015 5:18:13 PM PDT by South40

Josh Duggar, of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," resigned his position at the Family Research Council Thursday after reports surfaced that he allegedly sexually assaulted four female siblings in the large family, plus an additional female victim.

The 2006 police report obtained by In Touch Weekly magazine revealed that one of the Duggar siblings, who In Touch Weekly identified as Josh Duggar allegedly committed the assaults.

The incidents date back to 2002 when Duggar would have been 14 years old. In the 33-page police report that FOX411 viewed, the name of the Duggar family members in question are redacted throughout.

**********

He did.

“Today Josh Duggar made the decision to resign his position as a result of previously
unknown information becoming public concerning events that occurred during his teenage years.

“Josh believes that the situation will make it difficult for him to be effective in
his current work. We believe this is the best decision for Josh and his family at
this time. We will be praying for everyone involved,” concluded Perkins.

"Somewhere else it says he is now admitting it."

Yup. The Duggars have released the following statement from Josh Duggar:

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life."

Sorry, having trouble posting a link from my phone, but if you enter phrases from the above in Google, shouldn't be hard to find.

I understand the statutes of limitations has run out now but does it say why he wasn’t charged with anything in 2006 after ‘confessing’ to police?

I don’t know if it’s true or had anything to do with it, but I read a report earlier that the officer who took the initial report was himself later convicted of possessing child porn.

From an article on Yahoo.. I read that the parents took him to a family friend who was also a law enforcement officer. Josh Duggar got a stern talking to and told what could (legally etc) happen to him if this behavior continued. The same officer is now serving over 50 years of child porn. The story gets stranger by the minute...

I just wonder what people actually thought they were getting with a family stupid enough to go on reality tv to begin with.

Stability? Honesty? Morality?
