He is not alleged to have molested them, he admitted it. And at least 4 of them were his own sisters who he fondled while they were sleeping. And the parents were aware and did not go through the legal system instead went to their church which did not do a child abuse report. Josh was sent to a Christian training center run by a man whose program was pushed by the family, and that man has resigned his position last year amid allegations of failure to report child abuse. Only through a staff person on Oprah was this finally investigated. The cop friend of the family that did nothing with his information is now in jail for several decades for child pornography. This would be a nothing story but for the fact that this family has chosen to portray themselves on TV as the perfect religious righteous example for us all. They have asked us to share their lives and marvel at their success. So their asking for privacy and special consideration for their hurt fee fees is part of the risk you take when you choose to be tabloid fodder for your own profit with a giant skeleton in your closet.
