In 2015, In Touch Weekly reported that Josh Duggar had molested several young girls, including four of his sisters, as a teenager and ultimately uncovered a number of family secrets that the Duggar family had kept under wraps for more than a decade.
According to the report, Josh Duggar had admitted his sexual misconduct to his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, who ultimately relayed the information to police. In a 33-page report, Jim Bob Duggar detailed his son’s confession, which was later obtained by In Touch under the Freedom of Information Act.
After the allegations surfaced, Josh took to social media to apologize for his wrongdoings. He wrote, "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends."
Neither Josh nor Anna has publicly commented on the 2021 arrest.
