is trying to claim that he might have had those 200 images on his computer, but it doesn't mean that he ever actually looked at them!



Yeah. Right, Josh.

I have the same question as the other two posters - what is "the infamous DD."?

The agent said it was one of the worst he's handled. All images were under the age of 10, including infants.

In a word or two, can someone please explain to me who this Josh Dugger is and why should we care?

Is he a Politician holding or running for office? If so, where and which party?

Is he an important Religious/Cult Leader/Figure?


Is he in charge of my healthcare, social security or anything related to government services and agencies, locally or nationally?

Is there some kind of connection to the Huckabee family? (I saw a reference which I inferred to be Huckabee)

Or is he an actor I've never of before? (which isn't unusual for me)



Thanks in advance

Jim-Bob and his wife Michelle had a series of TV shows on TLC about their massive, fundamentalist, home-schooled "Quiver-full" family with 19 children and Josh was regularly on that show.

After he turned 18, he got married and immediately started churning out more kids. His dad's connections got him a plush lobbying job with the Family Research Council in DC but then evidence emerged that he'd molested five underaged girls including four of his sisters, the TV show was cancelled (although TLC still has a spin-off show focused on the sisters).

He's a good example of both fundamentalist right-wing hypocrisy and the swamp that keeps producing Evangelical lobbyists who are grossly unqualified to be involved in policy making.

I'm astonished he isn't locked up in chains for the rest of his life.

Thank you again for taking the trouble to explain.

The molestation charges happened when he was 14 or 15 I think and his dad was buddy-buddy with the local police and convinced the sisters to downplay it so it got mostly swept under the rug as childish curiosity at the time. He had to go away to some faith-based reprogramming summer camp and then everyone pretended everything was fine and dandy again.

It obvious that the sisters have wanted to speak out about it for years but have been discouraged from doing so because it would tarnish the brand and dry up the TLC cash cow even more.

While awaiting further adjudication procedure. Which was just shocking to me. Ordered to reside with a friend, not back to his family.

That's just the weirdest decision considering the charges, in my view.

They're always trying to catch the main producers and shut down their entire networks.

And you know that Republican criminals fold like a cheese quesadilla whenever the slightest heat is applied.

It was the Judge that made the call for release, and she commented that it was a "close call" whether to release or not.

incredible.

Up till now I've just heard its stash included "extremely disturbing" videos, which is pretty much any CSAM.

If it had DD - I'd pay $5000 for the privilege of hunting it for sport. And probably take a few days to really enjoy myself, let it try to hide.

And there are far too many jokes about it.

Anyone with that deserves to be strung up on their local town square.

I'd pull the trigger with no more thought or hesitation than on a whitetail. Unfortunately even if I had the $5000, I suspect I'd be far outbid.

Someone at work said that he was unfairly targeted, targeting Christians,blah blah. I said he was caught with DD. The person asked if I was sure and I said it's mentioned in the Reddit thread and the comment from the agent. His response?

"Then let me save the taxpayers some money and just throw him to the hogs."

(We work with adults with developmental disabilities and it's not uncommon to discover that some were victims of CSA.)
