Joseph Duggar's Arrest: Solitary Confinement & Charges

0:00On April 6th, Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old from 19 kids and counting, got arrested on March 18th in Arkansas over an alleged molestation of a 9-year-old girl during a family trip to Florida back in 2020. Right away, jail put him in solitary confinement for 10 days straight, all for his own protection because of his fame and the media storm. Earlier this week, records show an officer noted his high profile as the reason for admin segregation in a special unit, starting with seven days and then extending it to his extradition to Florida on March 27th. He pleaded not guilty on March 30th in court there, then walked out on a $600,000 bond. The judge slapped on strict rules, no contact with the alleged victim, and no unsupervised time with minors, even his own four kids with wife Kendra. Both of them face four counts each of child endangerment and false imprisonment, too. While locked up solo, Joseph got a Bible from staff and emailed his sister-in-law, Anna, on March 21st, saying it kept him encouraged through the faith.

Parents Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken, zeroing in on supporting Kendra and the kids right now. With a raiment set for April 20th and another date April 29th, this story is far from over.
