You will never see anyone else on this list because it likely doesn't exist.
There are bigger people out there then Duggar and if this really happened some of them are included.

You should have told young mister Duggar that before he admitted it publically.

She is expected to work the equivalent of multiple full time jobs, 24/7 and be there at all times to satisfy her husband sexually, regardless of how sick, tired or physically ravaged her body is from repeated back-to-back pregnancies and childbirth tearing her up and wearing her down.
People who breed animals like this are called cruel, inhumane, and labelled factory farms and puppy mills. Places where the animal's wellbeing is not taken into account because breeding as much as possible with unhealthy successive births is the priority. With the Duggar's this is the goal and considered an achievement.
I remember when Michelle, the mother, took the girls aside and had a talk with them about marriage. Her "sex talk" and marriage advice equated to telling the girls that they must be there for sex at any time the husband demanded it no matter how exhausted they were.
I am sure that Josh's wife is 100% blaming herself for his sexual perversions; she has been trained since childhood to do so. The same way the victims of his pedophile sex crimes are taught in their educational church books to self-blame by examining their code of dress and behavior to see if they were acting as a temptress to men, causing them to be raped or sexually assaulted.

The worst of it is that it tends to lead to this attitude:

I believe Josh is the oldest? That leaves a whole lot of his siblings coming along behind him. I wonder what other earthworms are going to crawl out from under *their* logs as the years go by.

Religious fundamentalism is the world's/mankind's greatest evil.

No, I mean isn't he the oldest of all the kids, and I wonder what is going to be discovered about all the ones coming behind him - all the other kids in the family.

Hence my comment. Fundamentalism leaves a long trail of victims - some spiritual, some physical, some emotional - some poor souls, all of the above.

It's why I fight them wherever I find them.
