Joseph Duggar Arrested for Child Abuse

0:00It's March 28, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI powered and star driven. Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old from that big reality show, 19 Kids Encouning, got arrested on March 18 for allegedly sexually, abusing a 9-year-old girl back in 2020 during a family beach trip. He's locked up at the Washington County detention facility in Arkansas, facing serious child endangerment and false imprisonment charges. Right now, he's stuck in solitary confinement, spinning 23 hours a day in a tight 8-by-10 space with barely any human contact. He called his wife Kendra from jail on March 20, around 8-11 at night, and told her he's reading the Bible a ton to cope but struggling, to sleep through the nights. Both Joseph and Kendra got hit with four counts each of endangering a minor and false imprisonment. Kendra got booked the same day but walked out after just an hour and a half, now hunkered down in a private spot with their four young kids.

1:00She checked in on him during the call, saying she's keeping things low key, and he told her to stay safe without spilling details on her location. Officials say the incident went down in Panama City Beach, Florida, involving inappropriate touching under a blanket. This situation's unfolding fast for the Dugger family, with Joseph holding steady in isolation while Kendra manages the home front, we'll keep. Seeing how it plays out in court.
