Duggars Facing Legal Battles, Kids First

It's April 2nd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News

today, your AI-powered entertainment report.

Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old from the reality show, 19 kids and counting and his 27-year-old

wife Kendra faced arrests in.

Late March after police and child services searched their Arkansas home, Joseph got picked

up on March 18th.

Kendra, two days later on March 20th, she's hit with four counts each of Endangering

Miners and false imprisonment, all second degree.

Kendra posted a $1,470 bond and walked out 90 minutes later, but in jail calls with Joseph,

she straight up said.

She doesn't have their four young kids right now.

She mentioned hearing they're doing okay, but a crusher, calling them her whole purpose

and bowing to fight hard for them.

Meanwhile, Joseph's dealing with separate charges out of Florida from a family trip back

in 2020.

A girl who was nine at the time, now 14, accused him of lured acts, including touching her

private areas.

Those stemmed from when they had two kids, and Kendra was pregnant with their third.

Joseph Juska released on a $600,000 bond after pleading not guilty, heading back to Arkansas.

A judge banned him from unsupervised contact with anyone under 18, and he's due in court

April 20th for a jury trial.

His lawyers pushing for fair treatment.

Through the calls, both made it clear the kids come first, no matter what shakes out

legally.

They'll piece the rest together as it unfolds, staying locked in on family.
