Duggars Facing New Charges: Locks on Kids' Doors

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Joseph and Kendra Dugger just got hit with charges for endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment. Cops searched their home and found locks on the outside of their kids' bedroom doors, sparking major concerns for their four children. This comes right after Joseph, a 31-year-old former reality star, got arrested for allegedly molesting a nine-year-old girl back in 2020. During a Florida vacation, the girl, now 14, says he pulled her onto a couch, covered them with a blanket and touched her inappropriately. Legal experts are calling this a huge red flag on family control and child safety, especially with the Dugger family's messy past. Joseph's brother Josh admitted as a teen to touching his sister's wrong, and later got 12 and a half years in prison for child porn. Now, shop protective services and cops are digging deep, looking at who knew what about any abuse and if others in the family like parents.

Joseph's being shipped from an Arkansas jail to Florida for these charges, and with sex crime allegations against kids, expect a high bond or him held. With that one, until trial, this whole probe could widen fast.
