Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Joseph Duggar’s Bond Set at $600K After Arrest on Child Molestation Charges

Joseph Duggar’s bond has been set after his arrest on child molestation charges.

“He’s asking to be treated as fairly as anyone else, regardless of his status in the television industry,” Duggar’s lawyer said during the arraignment in Bay County, Florida, according to Page Six.

Duggar’s lawyer shared that the family is “asking for the most reasonable bond,” adding, “He has no criminal history whatsoever.”

The State Attorney’s Office prosecutor, meanwhile, noted that the allegations are “a serious charge [from] the child.”

“We ask there be a no-contact [policy] in place with the victim, as well as no contact with any minors,” the prosecutor said. “While he doesn’t have a criminal history and no ties to the community … he was on vacation and stayed here a short period of time. … We ask for a substantial bond.”

Duggar’s bond was ultimately set at $600,000. The judge also ordered that Duggar have “no contact with the alleged victim” and “no unsupervised contact with any minors under the age of 18.”

Duggar was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older. The arrest came after a 14-year-old girl alleged that he molested her when they were on a 2020 vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Duggar did not enter a plea when appearing in court virtually on March 20 and waived his right to an extradition hearing. Days later, Duggar entered a written plea of not guilty and requested a jury trial, per records viewed by Us Weekly on Sunday, March 29. Us confirmed via the Bay County Jail on Tuesday, March 31, that Duggar is in custody in Florida.

Two days after Joseph’s arrest, his wife, Kendra Duggar, was also arrested and released that same day on a $1,470 bond. The pair are both facing charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment.

Kendra’s arrest “has nothing to do with Joseph’s” molestation charge, a source with knowledge of the case exclusively told Us on March 21. The insider claimed that “one precipitated the other.”

“After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house,” the source said. “Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.”

A spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement, “[Kendra’s] is a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.”
