I guess not everything that shines is gold with what it looks as "Perfect" Families...
When he was 14 years old, Josh Duggar allegedly sexually molested minor girls including his own sisters.
QUOTE Josh Duggar, one of the members of the family that stars in TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" ... Was the subject of a police investigation for allegedly sexually molesting 5 girls, some of whom are his sisters.
The story was broken by In Touch Weekly, but TMZ has confirmed with law enforcement that Josh Duggar -- who was around 14 at the time -- was the alleged molester against 5 girls starting in 2002.
According to the police report, Josh fondled the genitals and breasts of the girls, some of whom were sleeping, but sometimes they were interacting with him ... In one case reading a book. Source 5p

This could happen in a family of four or forty. Not that I am excusing what he did at all, but it should not surround the large family scenario as being the reason for a [perverted] 14 year old's actions. Although many can speculate that had he been 'policed' more by his parents then it could have been prevented, yet many of these crimes go unreported but happen more than we think. At least he is honest about his actions and not running for a lawyer to say he is innocent.
UPDATE: Changed "Curious" To "Perverted".

JB, I do not think the use of the word "Curious" Is appropriate. If Josh was a 50 year old man, I doubt you would describe him as "Curious". Fondling private parts of minors (Including his own sisters) while they slept, is a criminal act NOT the act of a curious teenager. Let's put that straight.
Second, he is being honest because the crime already prescribed and they can't do anything to him.
One of the ironies of the story is that when Josh's parents sent him away after these incidents and he returned, Josh's father took him to Arkansas State Trooper, Jim Hutchens. They know each other personally. Hutchens did not take ANY official action and instead gave Josh a “very stern talk" But never charged him.
Guess what? Jim Hutchens is now currently serving 56 years in prison for child pornography.

I understand that, I'm not trivializing the serious of it at all hence I said,
QUOTE Not that I am excusing what he did at all
My main point is that in this particular situation those who hated what the Duggars did in having so many children will use this as a reason to say it was because the family was huge. My Post was to reflect that this happens in families regardless of the size.
Now with your added point questions could be asked:
1. Who knew about it and said nothing?
2. Why didn't none of the sisters say anything?
3. How old were the girls?

QUOTE 1. Who knew about it and said nothing?
Josh confessed to both of his parents when two minors told his father that Josh have been touching them inappropriately while they slept (These two incidents happened months apart).
There are at least 5 minors involved and MULTIPLE episodes. So the parents knew about it, but did not contact the police until a year later. Instead, they contacted their own Church elders and sent Josh away for a few months.
It was during 2006 when they were supposed to be interviewed by Oprah that someone sent an email to Harpo warning them about Josh's alleged crimes.
QUOTE 2. Why didn't none of the sisters say anything?
Even though, the alleged victims have not been mentioned by name, I believe they did. They told their father, they were the ones sleeping in my view.
According to reports, Josh sought the forgiveness of his parents which he received as well as the victims.
QUOTE 3. How old were the girls?
I don't know because their names were not released but if he was 14 when the alleged crime took place, there are 5 sisters at that time, ages: 12, 11, 9, 8 and 6.
