0:00On March 25, Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old star from the reality show, 19 kids and counting, faces child molestation charges stemming, from allegations by a girl who was 9 at the time. The incidents reportedly happened during a family vacation in Florida back in 2020. Now 14, the girl shared her account with Tante Town Police in Arkansas.
