Joseph Duggar Out on Bail, Wife Arrested

0:00On March 30, Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old from the reality show, 19 Kids Encouning, got out of jail in Arkansas. He was arrested on March 18 for child molestation charges tied to an incident back in 2020. Officials at the Washington County Sheriff's Office confirmed he's no longer in custody as of March 27. The allegations stem from a family trip to Panama City Beach in Florida, where Dugger is accused of inappropriately touching a nine-year-old girl. He reportedly apologized after the girl's father confronted him and detectives say he admitted to the actions. While locked up, Dugger spent most of his time, 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. He told his wife Kendra over the phone he was reading the Bible a lot, but struggling to sleep. A few days later, Kendra faced her own arrest on charges of endangering minors and false imprisonment. It came from a home check that found door locks on the outside of kids' rooms. He posted a $1,470 bond and was out in under 24 hours.
