I used to belong to a forum that mocked the Duggars and other fundamentalist families. Many of the members were former members of fundamentalism and humor was their way of dealing with their past.
There was a rumor online that Josh Duggar had molested his sisters and another girl; however, many people on the board felt that it was a very damaging piece of gossip and probably wasn't true. Guess what? It was.

He admits to molesting five girls while they slept. Four of the girls were his sisters. He confessed and was punished
The reason why this is interesting is that the Duggars belong to a group led by a man named Gothard. The group believes in no dating until engagement and then only with chaperones. Girls always dress modestly to protect males from being attracted to them. On the show, the Duggar girls were told to shout the code word, Nike and the boys would look the other way. Their beliefs are that if a person has a sexual thought for someone not their spouse, then that is the same thing as adultery even though they were just kids and teenagers. Of course, the Duggar show is just a commercial for Gothardism
Because of the Westermarck effect most people will not have sexual desire toward someone that grew up in the same household as them.
Joshua Duggar made this statement.

Joshua Duggar made this statement.
Quote: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," Josh said in his statement. "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
This is from the police report
"
Quote:The alleged victims are (redacted), who live with their parents Michelle and Jim Bob (redacted). ... The parents said that 3 1/2 years ago when (redacted) was (redacted) admitted to fondling (redacted). They said that (redacted) said that (redacted) had been fondling (redacted) breast and vaginas when they were sleeping, from the time (redacted) was (redacted). They said that (redacted) also admitted to fondling (redacted) outside the home on her breasts."
According to the report, a member of their church found out about the fondling incident when an unnamed Duggar wrote a letter about it and put it in a book that was frequently loaned out to fellow churchgoers. When the Duggars traveled to Chicago to appear on Oprah's show, the church member forwarded a copy of the letter to Oprah's production company, which sent it to the authorities, prompting the investigation that led to the report.
