A complete timeline of Josh Duggar's public fallout from reality-TV stardom to child-pornography charges

In 2015, InTouch acquired a police report made in 2006, which can now be viewed on hosting site Imgur, that shows statements provided by Jim Bob, the patriarch of the Duggar family.

According to the report, Jim Bob first found out about Josh's behavior in 2002, when one of his victims said the eldest Duggar brother was touching her breasts and genitals as she slept.

The police report suggests that four of Josh's sisters were molested by him while they slept, and at times while they were awake.

As reported by Gawker, there were five sisters living in the Duggar house at that time: Jana, then 12, Jill, 11, Jessa, 10, Jinger, 9, and Joy-Anna, 5.

The police report goes on to detail, according to Jim Bob's statement, how Josh admitted to some of the incidents.

Jim Bob did not contact authorities at the time he learned of the first allegations, but instead disciplined Josh and tried to prevent the alleged molestation from happening again.

Only when he was made aware of further molestation incidents did Jim Bob meet with the family's "church elders" and it was decided he would be sent away from March to July 2003, according to the report.

According to the 2015 InTouch report, Jim Bob and the church elders brought Josh to an Arkansas state trooper upon his return home in 2003. But the trooper, Joe Hutchens, did not charge Josh with any crimes.

"Jim Bob knew Hutchens personally," InTouch reported. "Hutchens did not take any official action and instead gave Josh a 'very stern talk.'"

A local northwest Arkansas news outlet reported in 2012 that Hutchens was sentenced to 56 years in prison after pleading guilty to child-porn charges himself.

Discovery Health did a segment on the Duggar family called "14 Children and Pregnant Again!" which aired as a 43-minute documentary special.

As detailed in the police report obtained by InTouch, Harpo Studios had already flown the Duggar family to Chicago for their on-air interview when producers were contacted anonymously.

Per the police report, the email tip included a warning about someone in the family molesting another member of the family while sleeping, and says Jim Bob "lies to his church and his friends to [make] him look good."

Producers cancelled the Duggars' appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and faxed the letter to the Department of Human Services Hotline.

According to local reporting from 2015, "the time in which charges could be filed expired before Springdale police received an anonymous tip" in 2006. No action was taken at that time.

The statements taken in these 2006 interviews make up the bulk of the police report obtained by InTouch.

At the time called "17 Kids and Counting," the Duggars were one of many family-based reality shows on the network.

Josh, the oldest child of parents Jim Bob and Michelle, was 20 years old when the show first aired. At the time of the premiere, the rest of the siblings ranged in age from less than one-year-old to 18.

Over the next few years, Josh's marriage and the birth of his first three children were prominently featured in storylines on the show.

Up until this point, the allegations had gone unreported by major news sites.

Gawker outlined the way that the molestation "rumor" was brought up on blog posts and "17 Kids and Counting" fan forums as far back as May 2007, but the InTouch report was the first mainstream reporting of the incidents.

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends," Josh, then 27 years old, wrote on Facebook, according to USA Today.

"We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing," continued Josh, per USA Today, "and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."

Josh also resigned from the Family Research Council where he had been working as a lobbyist.

In 2002, Jim Bob had run in the primaries for a Republican senate seat. His platform had included the stance that "rape and incest represent heinous crimes and as such should be treated as capital crimes," THR reported in 2015.

Walgreens also pulled its ads from the reality show, along with other brands like Payless ShoeSource, General Mills, and Choice Hotels.

USA Today reported that "more than a dozen advertisers" removed ads from the show and the TLC network.

A police spokesman told the Associated Press that Judge Stacey Zimmerman ordered that they "expunge that record," despite similar records usually being kept "indefinitely."

"As far as the Springdale Police Department is concerned, this report doesn't exist," the spokesman said.

"After thoughtful consideration, TLC and the Duggar family have decided to not move forward with '19 Kids and Counting.' The show will no longer appear on the air," said the network in a statement. "The recent attention around the Duggars has sparked a critical and important conversation about child protection."

TLC said it planned to air a one-hour documentary about child sexual abuse later that year as part of an initiative with partnered organizations RAINN and Darkness to Light.

"TLC will work closely with both groups and with the Duggar family on a one-hour documentary that will include Jill and Jessa [Duggar] and other survivors and families that have been affected by abuse," the statement said.

After a hack led to the outing of Josh as a customer of Ashley Madison, a site that promotes providing "discreet" encounters for married people, he released the following statement: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife."

As reported by CNN, Duggar's initial statement was later amended to "omit the reference to pornography."

"I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends, and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust," Duggar said at the time.

The first season of "Counting On" was primarily centered around Jill and Jessa Duggar.

Josh was never featured on a TLC program again, but many other members of the family eventually became cast members of the spinoff reality show.

New seasons of "Counting On" have been regularly premiering on TLC ever since.

Though this raid would be unknown to the public until 2021, we now know that Josh's desktop computer at his Arkansas business was recovered in a 2019 search.

A special agent later testified that both the HP desktop computer and Josh's personal Macbook laptop had an "accountability software" installed. The program, called Covenant Eyes, is designed to monitor the internet activity of people with pornography addictions. The program then sends reports to an "accountability partner" (in this case, internet usage reports were sent to Josh's wife, Anna).

Josh also had installed a Tor Browser that provided access to the dark web, allowing him to browse without being detected by Covenant Eyes, according to the agent.

Federal prosecutors said in an initial press release that Josh "allegedly used the internet to download child sexual abuse material," as discovered by the 2019 recovery of his work desktop computer and personal laptop.

A statement from Jim Bob and Michelle posted on their official family website on April 30 reads: "We appreciate your continued prayers for our family at this time. The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious. It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner. We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family."

In a statement sent to Insider via email, Josh's sister Jill and her husband Derick Dillard said, "This is just very sad for our family."

Jinger, another of Josh's sisters, and her husband Jeremy Vuolo, shared a statement via Instagram on April 30: "We are disturbed to hear of the charges against Josh."

"While this case must go through the legal system, we want to make it clear that we absolutely condemn any form of child abuse and fully support authorities and judicial process in their pursuit of justice," the statement from Jinger continued.

Josh was charged with two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography.

Prosecutors said he faces 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 if he is convicted.

The judge overseeing the case said she was deeply concerned about the allegations against Josh, adding that a federal agent had testified that one of Josh's downloads was one of the "top five worst of the worst" he's had to examine in the 1,000 cases he's worked on.
