Joseph Duggar Files Not-Guilty Plea as Duggar Family Fractures

Joseph Duggar Files Not-Guilty Plea as Duggar Family Fractures

Joseph Duggar walked out of a Florida jail on $600,000 bond the same day he appeared in court on charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Jim Bob Duggar was in the courtroom, ready to post bond for his son. According to court records, Joseph had already filed a written not-guilty plea and demanded a jury trial — two days before the hearing, from a jail cell — despite reportedly admitting to the alleged conduct three separate times to three different audiences, according to the arrest affidavit.

The Florida charges are classified as a life felony under state law. The mandatory minimum if convicted is 25 years. Joseph is 31 years old. In Arkansas, both Joseph and his wife Kendra face misdemeanor charges reportedly triggered by the discovery of exterior locks on bedroom doors — a detail that mirrors the Duggar family's own disclosed response to Josh Duggar's abuse decades earlier.

The family response is unlike anything we've seen from the Duggars. Kendra reportedly retained the family attorney for herself, not Joseph. She left the family home with the children. Jim Bob's niece Amy Duggar King told Fox News she was not surprised another alleged predator emerged from what she called a toxic system. Jim Bob's sister Deanna publicly said Kendra should divorce Joseph. The people willing to speak clearly are the ones who already left the system. The ones still inside it are speaking through spokespeople.

Tony Brueski walks through the courtroom, the charges, the bond conditions, and the family fault lines in a case that is just getting started.
