It's April 3rd.

Joseph Dugger, one of the stars from that big TLC family show, just got out of jail

after two weeks behind bars on child molestation charges.

He pleaded not guilty to allegedly touching a nine-year-old girl back in 2020 while on vacation

in Florida, posted a massive $600,000 bond and walked free on March 31st.

His dad, Jim Bob Dugger, sent him an email from the outside, mixing love with some tough

fatherly talk.

He reminded Joseph that God forgives if you ask, but major consequences are coming down

the line for years.

Jim Bob pushed him to stay positive, make lemonade from lemons, and even share his faith

with folks in jail.

The family is reeling from this.

On top of Joseph's brother Josh, serving 12 years for child porn possession, a spokesperson

said, Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken, focused on supporting Joseph's wife Kendra,

who got arrested separately and their four kids.

They're praying for the victim too and asking for privacy.

Joseph spent his jail time in solitary, reading books and resting, though sleep was rough.

He told Kendra over the phone he was hanging in there.

His lawyer is stressing fair treatment despite the family fame from TV.

As a Raymond hits May 18th, the Duggers keep praying through the storm, eyes on justice

and family healing ahead.
