The Duggars: Josh molested several "young females" as a teen — Page 5

I love sculpture.

What I don't understand is how the statute of limitations was not tolled since the victims were minors.

"Tolling Provisions: The statute of limitations does not run (1) during any time when the accused is continually absent from the state or has no reasonably ascertainable place of abode or work within the state, up to a maximum of 3 years; (2) if a prosecution against the accused for the same conduct is already pending in the state.

Even if the statute of limitations has expired, a prosecution may be commenced for certain offenses committed against minors if the violation was not previously reported and the applicable statute of limitations period has not expired since the victim reached eighteen (1 years of age. This provision applies to:

Battery in the first degree, Battery in the second degree, Aggravated assault, Terroristic threatening in the first degree, Kidnapping, False imprisonment in the first degree, Permanent detention or restraint, Rape, Sexual assault in the first degree, Sexual assault in the second degree, Sexual assault in the third degree, Sexual assault in the fourth degree, Incest, Endangering the welfare of a minor in the first degree, Permitting abuse of a minor, Engaging children in sexually explicit conduct for use in visual or print medium, Transportation of minors for prohibited sexual conduct, Employing or consenting to the use of a child in a sexual performance, Producing, directing, or promoting a sexual performance by a child, Computer child pornography, Computer exploitation of a child in the first degree, and Criminal attempt, criminal solicitation, or criminal conspiracy to commit any offense."

Talking of things being changed, sometimes that smiley face shows up in the most unfortunate places.

It happens when you put the numeral eight before a close parenthesis, which is HTML or something for that smiley face.

Yeah, his sister, the one who requested the files to be destroyed.

The whole thing is sick. Like I was reading that 1 of the girls was under the age of 10 and the parents don't seem phased by that.

Am I the only one who finds it strange that the only girls who seem to get mentioned or interviewed about this are Jill and Jessa? They have an older sister and the 4th girl is over 18 now as well. Granted, I have a feeling they probably all share the same disturbing views. So, it probably doesn't matter.

The girls are victimized because you chose to put your family on that moral pedestal, all the while trying like hell to spackle the cracks that kept forming. You know, after maybe the SECOND kid came forward, how about you admit you aren't handling it.

You're just purposing.

This awful does bring to light the abuse that so many suffer and have suffered.

I think this is the saddest thing I have read about the entire seedy mess:

When asked whether they considered themselves victims, Jessa said, "I do want to speak up in his defense against people who are calling him a child molester or a pedophile or a rapist, some people are saying. I'm like, that is so overboard and a lie, really. I mean, people get mad at me for saying that but I am like, I can say this, you know? I was one of the victims."
