It looks like Josh Duggar is headed back to court.
The former reality TV star/antigay activist just filed a lawsuit against In Touch claiming the publication invaded his privacy in 2015 when it reported about that time he molested his two sisters plus three other girls eleven years ago. He’s also suing former Springdale Police Chief Kathy O’Kelley is and Springdale City Attorney Ernest Cate because, hey, why not?
In case you need a recap: In May 2015, In Touch alleged that, in 2006, Josh molested several young girls, including two of his sisters, while they slept. Not only that, but his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, knew about it and tried to cover it up. After the story broke, Josh admitted the molestations occurred but insisted that God had forgiven him. As a result, TLC canceled the Duggars’ reality show and Josh lost his job at the Family Research Council.
In a new lawsuit, Josh, who purportedly works as a used cars salesman, claims that investigators with Arkansas State Police and Washington County promised to keep their reports of his misconduct confidential.
How about we take this to the next level?

He says officials broke their word when they released his files to In Touch after receiving a Freedom of Information Act request, and that the reports were poorly redacted, containing identifying information, including both his and of his parents’ names, their address, and the identification of one of the alleged victims, his then-5-year-old sister.
“Plaintiff continues to be emotionally upset and humiliated by the disclosure of his identity as a juvenile offender and the intimate details of those acts, including the fact that his siblings were the alleged victims,” the complaint reads.
Josh now wants punitive damages for invasion of privacy, outrage, due process violations, and emotional, mental and psychological distress after he says the gossip rag “sensationalized” his incest scandal and exploited his family’s name to sell magazines.
In Touch has yet to issue a response to the lawsuit.
The city officials named in the lawsuit say they want nothing to do with Josh’s nonsense. The City immediately filed a motion to have the case dismissed, saying “The truly egregious conduct at issue was that of Josh Duggar and not the Springdale defendants.”

Eevn in Arkansas I have a feeling this sort of stupidity is not going to work well for this pervert.

Josh is so greedy he doesn’t mind dragging his victims through the pain of their molestation all over again. Thanks to Ma & Pa Duggar every member of this family is addicted to publicity so I guess having to publically relive all of the ugly details will be worth the media exposure (and you know the media is going to have a field day) and whatever money the Duggar’s think they can further bleed out of this story. There is little chance This case will get to court and I even less Josh would win if it does but you can bet Papa Duggar will try to find a way to parlay this into another money maker (book, TV movie, magazine rights, etc.). All of the Duggar’s need to get out of the spotlight and live their lives privately.

Naughty naughty Josh, you should not pretend to be repenting, you are more interested in making money than being a decent human being!

Isn’t this that guy that slept with his sisters.

The disgusting Duggars at it again! How pathetic that Josh feels the need for any kind of publicity, including re-exposing his siblings to more humiliation, to simply make a buck if he can. Hopefully, a smart judge will see through his attempt and throw the lawsuit out of court.

He should just go to Thailand and do some underage sex porn with the latest underage appearing sex dolls.

What I’d like to know is why isn’t this sick SOB in jail. He even admitted the molestation. His wife is foolish to stay with him. He could very well molest their kids. What these guy needs is to be in jail or prison doing his time like many other molesters are. Behind bars I’m sure his cellmate or other inmates would put a dress and lipstick on him and show him the same fear that he inflicted on his victim (s).
