TLC Star Joseph Duggar Arrested for Alleged ‘Abuse of Young Girl’

The alleged incident comes nearly five years after the 31-year-old’s older brother, Josh Duggar, 38, was arrested by Homeland Security in April 2021 and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.

As previously reported, Josh allegedly used the “dark web and online file-sharing software” multiple times in 2019 to download “child sexual abuse material from the internet.”

Josh was found guilty of all charges in December 2021 and was sentenced to 12 and a half years in May 2022.

Its expected release date is August 2032.

Many years prior to Josh’s arrest, the famous TLC family faced a handful of scandals as their popularity on the network grew.

In 2015, Josh confessed to abusing multiple young girls, including his own sisters – Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald – when they were teenagers.

Moreover, Josh also faced problems in his marriage and used the website Ashley Madison to cheat on his wife Anna Duggar.

He eventually checked into a long-term treatment center.
