Duggar Arrested for Lewd Behavior with Minor

Authorities say he touched a then-9-year-old girl inappropriately on her thighs and over her underwear multiple times while they were covered by A. Blanket. He's spacing charges in Florida plus separate ones in Arkansas for endangering a minor and false imprisonment, just like his wife Kendra.

Brother Josh, serving 12 years for child porn, hopes for fairness and praise for Joseph. Sister Jill called it shocking and heartbreaking,
