          Some of them were the victims. The older brother molested sisters.

          I’m certain all of them have been abused in some way. So, there’s 19 kids that suffer the rest of their life from normalized abuse and/or repeat the cycle.

          Somehow, the society they live in just looks the other way until the abuse leaks out of their enclave.

        I thought I was going crazy for a minute. I remember distinctly hearing about this arrest years ago. Must’ve been the other one.

      Yes, the Duggars have had been involved in similar scandals previously. But no, this is not the same person. The oldest of their kids, Josh, was convicted on multiple counts for possession of CSAM. Apparently some very disturbing stuff, too, including torture and snuff videos. He also molested some of his younger sisters, which was covered up by the family for years while they were on TV.
