The classic trait of a pedophile is someone who is attracted to children. Josh is a married man. Do you really think he still lusts after children?
So you're saying it's just fine that a 14 year old molested a 5 year old his sister no less? And he didn't know it was wrong because he was 14?

Given his history, they should interview his daughter

Since you are so sincerely and deliberately blind, I trust you will not blame the fates when you stride into an immovable object and knock yourself senseless.

The rest of us, out of a sort of dubious respect for your folly, will step around you, rather than on.

There is a difference between a horny teenage boy who may try to look at some porn or try to feel up a female classmate/friend and a teenage boy who molests his 5, 8, 10 year old sisters.

This is not about bashing Josh, this is about protecting other kids from someone who may be a child molester. I see more people talking about how poor Josh is getting backlash from this, but very few people talking about the victims and how they must feel.

I personally don't care about how God may have forgiven Josh, that is between Josh and God, and what happens there is none of my business. I just care about the victims in this and I hope that there won't be more victims in the future.

.
I have a bit of a problem assuming the kid is a pedophile. It seems to me more a situation of opportunity and availability and chance of not being discovered without concern for what age. They were girls, they were there and(it appears) he hoped, asleep.
If these kids were allowed to live a normal life, he may well have chosen a classmate/friend more his age or even older ....and willing...to experiment with.

We disagree on a lot, but I applaud this post. As I, being a militant atheist, deplore and do not excuse the shooting of Muslims by an atheist, whether religious differences were the motive or not.

So you realize that he also clearly molested boys too. It says right in the police report that one of his victims worked on cars and built things [did carpentry] in their free time.

As we have seen time and time again, those who devote their lives to oppressing other people's rights like this Duggar-tard, have a high possibility of pushing the same skeletons deep into their own closet.

He was surrounded by girls his age 24/7. He did molest people outside of the family.

Preying upon victims that are asleep and younger clearly shows that he was hand picking his victims to minimize their protest or his being caught.

Experimenting teenagers get together through mutual agreement for fun. They don't lurk around in the dark putting their hands down the pants of sleeping children.

Maybe she doesn't want to relive publically the details of something that happened when she was 5 years old. People on your side only care about seeing the Duggar family name shamed and destroyed, not caring about the victims.

I see, so auto mechanics and carpentry are ALWAYS a male role huh? This filling in the blanks without knowing all the facts is really annoying and dishonest.
