Jason Duggar has publicly condemned his brother Joseph Duggar following Joseph’s arrest on child molestation charges. The 19 Kids and Counting alum issued a statement alongside his wife, Maddie, expressing their disgust and distancing themselves from the legal case.
Joseph Duggar was taken into custody earlier this week. Specific details of the charges have not been fully disclosed by authorities.
In their response, Jason and Maddie Duggar stated their support is entirely with the victims. They emphasized their commitment to protecting children and described the allegations as abhorrent.
The arrest marks another legal controversy for the Duggar family, following previous scandals involving other members. The family first gained public attention through their long-running reality television series.
No further statements have been released by other family members at this time. The case remains under investigation.
