A 14-year-old girl who has accused Joseph Duggar of sexually assaulting her in Florida told investigators in Tontitown that there were “several incidents of sexual abuse” during a family vacation when she was just 9 years old.
According to People, the Jane Doe said Joseph — who was 25 at the time of the alleged incident in 2020 — initially asked her multiple times to sit on his lap before placing his arms around her.
The publication reports things took a disgusting turn once the vacation was over, when Joseph allegedly asked the child to sit next to him on the couch and covered the two of them with a blanket.
According to the police affidavit, obtained by People, Joseph “pulled the victim’s dress up and touched the victim’s thighs.” The accuser said Joseph’s hand grazed her vagina outside of her underwear during these instances, which allegedly happened “several times.”
As we reported … investigators say Duggar apologized to the girl afterwards, but her father later confronted him about the allegations on March 17, 2026.
Police say Duggar admitted his actions and was subsequently arrested and charged with 2 counts of lewd and lascivious behavior. He’s currently held in Arkansas awaiting extradition to face charges in Florida.
