Josh Duggar of '19 Kids and Counting' Apologizes, Resigns after Reports of Molesting 5 Young Girls Anonymous 05/25/15 (Mon) 23:39:31 No.951

Josh Duggar, 27, the eldest child in the Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting, apologized for acting “inexcusably” after InTouch, a gossip website, revealed that he had “forcibly fondled” 5 girls, all minors, when he was about 15 years old.

“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. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation,” Duggar said on the family’s official Facebook page. The hit TLC series, based on the Arkansas family, has been on the air since 2008.

Duggar also resigned his job as executive director of FRC Action, an affiliate of the Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council (FRC). The Hollywood Reporter on Friday published that TLC aired a 19 Kids marathon on Thursday, sparking viewer outrage. On Friday, TLC without comment pulled the May 27 program from its broadcast schedule.

Is this really a surprise? I would imagine that family dynamics would be almost impossible to control in that environment

> 5 girls, all minors, when he was about 15 years old.

What kind of description is that? For all we know, the girls could have been 17.

How is this even news?

The FRC is a very powerful Washington lobby group. Anything that affects K street affects the news

Lena Dunham; fingers and inserts objects into her sister for 10 years; dindu nuffin

The difference is that Dunham doesn't matter, Duggan does. With his ties to the FRC in Washington, it matters. Dunham doesn't really have any influence and the allegations against her could be dismissed as mere rumours or as something that happened so far back that it no longer matters.
