After Josh was arrested for these recent charges, TLC canceled the new show, too. They had already canceled the family’s previous show, 19 Kids and Counting, after it was revealed that Duggar molested his sisters, but the network began a spin-off show called Counting On with some of the other family members.
His wife Anna, with whom he has seven kids, asked the judge to “consider reuniting us as a family again soon.” His lawyers added that Duggar “lived an admirable life while navigating unique challenges associated with being in the public spotlight since childhood.”Īll of this comes a year after TLC broke off all ties with the Duggar family. This week, several of them urged the judge to let him off the hook. Not that his family was worried about that. Now, with a 12-year prison sentence, the Christian Right activist will finally stop being a threat to children.
