'19 Kids and Counting' Son Named in Underage Sex Probe - In Touch Weekly


So exactly whose definition of "inappropriate" are we using? 

As much as I loathe the show and what the Duggars represent and stand for, there are too many unanswered questions.  What may be normal adolescent behavior by societal standards -  unchaperoned, holding hands, a peck on the cheek or lips, a front hug (as opposed to a "side-hug") - is considered grounds for eternal damnation in the eyes Duggar parents.  Daddy Duggar may have actually turned his eldest son in for acting normally for his age. The religious abuse, those poor kids won't know right from wrong when they've spent their lives being told every natural urge is wrong.

One final thought,,,

Where exactly did this "inappropriate touching" take place?
Josh Duggar of the TLC hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting was named in a police report as the “alleged offender” in an underage sexual abuse probe, In Touch magazine is reporting exclusively.

The charge being pursued while Josh was a minor was sexual assault in the fourth degree, multiple sources who have seen the police report and are familiar with the case told In Touch. According to the report, Josh was brought into the Arkansas State Police by his father, Jim Bob, who said he caught him leaving a young girl’s bedroom and “learned something inappropriate happened,” one source said.

A bizarre turn of events prevented police and prosecutors from finishing their investigation and possibly prosecuting. The state trooper who originally took the report about Josh shortly before 2005 never followed up. That state trooper was later convicted on child pornography charges and is serving a 56-year prison sentence.

When the state trooper ran into trouble, someone from the Arkansas State Police alerted the Child Abuse Hotline about the Duggar situation that had been sitting inactive. That’s when the Crimes Against Children Division and Springdale Police Department got involved. By then the three-year statute of limitations had passed and it would not have been possible to pursue prosecution of Josh if the allegations warranted, so the investigation was discontinued. “A technicality prevented any further action,” a source familiar with the case told In Touch. “That’s been the biggest regret in all of this.” (The statute of limitations has since been lengthened.)
