Jill Dillard: "They're used to exploiting women."
In an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly that ran on Friday, two of the Duggar daughters who were victims of their brother’s inappropriate sexual touching called out the magazine that illegally released the records that not only revealed the identity of their brother Josh (who was a juvenile at the time), but also indirectly identified the victims.
Jill Dillard, the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, told Kelly that she suspected there might be an agenda behind the story. “I mean, I know that the tabloids that released this, even have — you know, they’re used to exploiting women. They have the parent company –”
“Well, Bauer…they’re a major porn provider…” her sister Jessa Seewald interrupted.
“So I don’t know if they are — maybe their mindset, they’re just used to making objects out of women and maybe we just didn’t seem any different,” Seewald continued.
Jill and Jessa are members of the conservative Christian family that has been featured in the reality TV series 19 Kids and Counting, and the young women are spot on about the background of the company that publishes In Touch magazine.
Bauer Media Group, based in Hamburg, Germany, publishes 600 magazines, over 400 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations around the world, including In Touch magazine, the publication that uncovered the story of the abuse in the Duggar home. They also traffic in porn — some of it Nazi-themed., as you’ll see on the next page.
The Wrap reported in 2013:
But an investigation by TheWrap has found that there is a darker side to the privately held company, including publication of at least one magazine appealing to neo-Nazis, as well as significant involvement in the distribution of pornography — including Nazi-themed porn movies.
These lend perspective to Bauer’s legal woes in the United States, including a $50 million defamation lawsuit by Tom Cruise, filed last October after two U.S.-based publications alleged he’d abandoned his daughter Suri. In fact, Bauer generates dozens of legal complaints worldwide each year about invasion of privacy or libel, according to a lawyer who has frequently opposed them.
The Duggar sisters are absolutely correct. In Touch and Bauer Media Group make money, in part, by exploiting women and trafficking in content that sexually objectifies women. The young women in the Duggar family who were victims of sexual abuse by their brother were victimized a second time by a magazine that treated them, not as accidental collateral damage in their honest efforts to report a legitimate news story, but as an integral part of a business model based on sexual exploitation of women. They exploited the sexual abuse suffered by the Duggar sisters for money, pure and simple. And they’ve done it with countless other women over the years. Disgusting.
If I had kids anywhere near that family in the last ten years, I’d be freaking out.
“In an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly that ran on Friday, two of the Duggar daughters who were victims of their brother’s inappropriate sexual touching called out the magazine that illegally released the records that not only revealed the identity of their brother Josh (who was a juvenile at the time), but also indirectly identified the victims.”
The magazine did nothing illegal.
Josh 18 when the police report was made.
And the Duggars never asked a judge for the records to be sealed.
Does all this mean that Josh did not touch his sisters’ vaginas?
ANTI-CHRISTIANS did this....finding out they are in PORN does NOT surprise me.....and the PERSON who released this info must also be into PORN PLUS anti-Christian!
IDIOCY....it’s a GOOD Family with a son who made terrible mistakes.
WHY do you hate the Duggars so much.....I think I know.
A judge ruled not just that the records should have been sealed, he (she) ruled for them to be destroyed.
What makes you believe I hate the Duggars?

I see this largely driven by anti-Christian zealots. Which is not to say that the Duggars didn't made serious mistakes.
This place is just rife with compassion for a child molester. Well, a certain kind of child molester, anyway.
The Duggar case never made it into the juvenile court system, or any court system, for that matter. The alleged crimes occurred in 2002 and 2003, but the police investigation did not occur until 2006. By that time, Josh Duggar was already an adult at age 18, so the state code covering the confidentiality of juvenile records would not apply to this case, legal experts have said.
I have been wondering the same thing?
“This place is just rife with compassion for a child molester. Well, a certain kind of child molester, anyway.”
It just could be that all teenage boys fondle the vaginas of prepubescent are just making a mistake.
Good catch, Kaslin. Thanks for posting.
This story has brought out the very worst in FReepers.
As Doug Giles writes, Hillary’s “McLovin’” it.

First - Josh was just a boy. Forgiveness!
Second - The records should not have been released. Gay people!
Third - It was the porn people!
Doesn’t take long for the venom to spew out of these “Christians”.
