Jim Bob Duggar Testifies, Claims He ‘Can’t Remember’ Details Of Josh’s Past Scandal
On Monday, November 29, Jim Bob Duggar testified in an evidentiary hearing in his son Josh’s child pornography case. The trial begins on Tuesday, November 30.
As we’ve reported, Josh was arrested for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse images or child pornography. He is facing up to 20 years in jail, as well as up to $250,000 in fines. So far, Josh has pleaded not guilty and has turned down multiple plea deals.
Fans, critics, and the public hope to learn the truth about Josh’s alleged actions and arrest. The trial is beginning, so hopefully, the truth will be brought to light, and justice will be served.
Based on the nature of Josh’s alleged crimes, there may be a connection to his prior molestation scandal. As fans may recall, in May 2015, details of a 2006 police report came out. The report revealed that Josh had inappropriately touched five underage girls, including some of his sisters, when he was a teen. At the time, Josh apologized for his “wrongdoing.”
This is why Jim Bob was asked to testify in the child pornography trial.

When he was asked about the report, he said, “I can’t remember.” He also said the report was “tabloid information.”

“If there is [an] objection to be made, someone will make it but it won’t be you,” the judge said.
Jim Bob retold part of what had happened, sharing how Josh came to him and Michelle. He said, “We were shocked this had happened but we were thankful he came on his own and told us. He had told me that he had touched some of the girls when they were sleeping on their breasts … they didn’t wake up.”

Jim obj thinks he is above the law as does Josh. I hope he is treated like other guilty people. He has ruined lives and he doesn’t think much about it, he has ruined the family I feel sorry for them, but not Josh and I’ve lost respect for JM that is the little I had for him. I feel so so sorry for his wife and children she should have walked out when she found out about the allegations from being a teen. He has not learned his lesson and he might not be able to comprehend the low life he has become. Let’s put him away for a few years he has worked hard to get there so now let him pay he has earned the right to live behind bars.
J Bob can’t remember?? Come on.. Seems like the men in that family are all the same.. Perverted freaks.. Inbreeding?
