Oprah outed them and only then did authorities become involved. Hand picked investigator-nice. The handling of this is the real issue above and beyond the original act.

And no sex offender registry requirement? Messed up!For the ladies: Having had prior knowledge of this (Anna did...2 years before they got married), would you marry someone with this past, teenager or otherwise at the time of the incidents? Especially knowing you'll be having several children with him?Hell to the NAW! Way too high of a recidivism rate for people with these disgusting behaviors!I do feel badly for the rest of this family being dragged through the mud along with him.

NO! Not a chance.

No way! I would be disgusted and it would be hard to trust again!

I never understood why people are so enamored with this family. What they are doing is irresponsible.

@macdaddy agree! Who in the eff wants 19 kids?

@brightlights absolutely not! Any person with a conscience would have went straight to the authorities. I guess it's all about the money..

Totally disgusting. Some of the victims were his siblings. Anna is a dumb A if he could do this to his siblings then I wouldn't put it past him to do it to his kids.

@DaycareMom Have you heard their stance on overpopulation? Totally uneducated and backwoods.

@brightlights One of them was a sibling so how could those parents do that to their on child that is like really wrong....

I think the most disgusting thing is that those "parents" have convinced the girls that the Godly thing to do is forgive. Basically it was forced forgiveness. Yes, it is fine to forgive a molester AFTER you have gone through counseling, the person has sought treatment and/or is in jail AND the victim is an adult who has made that decision without the fear of going to hell if they don't.

@Mallymom everything I read has said 4 were siblings-likely the oldest girls- and one was not.

And I have to wonder if he molested any of his brothers.

@Posterguy His Spin off show would be Touched by a Duggar. So disgusting and sick! I don't see how a parent could not do something knowing his daughters were in harms way! Even move him out of the house at the very least! None of them seem right! They should cancel that show!

@BusyMommy Has the sibling thing been confirmed or is that just a rumor?That would explain no one coming forward all these years. I hope that's not true. If it is, Anna is a dumbarse.
