Another professional anti-gay-rights Republican turns out to be both a sexual lover of other males and a sexual abuser.

Do you need a list of something? This seems to be a tread, you make it your job to hate on gay people professionally, you're probably a self-loathing closeted homosexual yourself.

No.

It seems to be an epidemic, there has been so many allegations, I bet this will get swept under though.

He'll probably lose his political pull, retire and as Basher noted, find Jesus (again), forgive himself and all will be good.

With a name like Randy Boehning why was it even a surprise?

Does anyone really care what he does in his personal life? I think there's a misguided understanding of what a pervert is. Society has had men sleeping with young girls or boys since the time of Christ... It's a notion that will play out till the end of time. It happens everywhere and there are young people who want sex with older people and find each other. People just want to believe it doesnt happen, i say all power to him... if he can get his old grandpa balls sucked at his age...whooa!

rudester
I would so suck his balls for money and treats. 3.5 million and I'll ****ken be his fluff boy. Daddy I want this...lol

Branlor Swift
Yes, what's wrong with having sex with underaged boys as long as you pay them millions to keep their mouths shut... and open too...

Why should anyone care about a boy hungry pedophile who is anti-gay? It happens. Deal with it!

Juvenile records are not protected from FOIA inquiry if the criminal activity involved the sexual victimization of another minor per the Juvenile Court Act of 1987:

"Reports in which minors are the victims of sex crimes or are incidentally mentioned are not exempt in full, but the names of the minors may be redacted."

Records are only sealed by a court and by court order.

This case never went to court because:

The parents did not report the abuse for 18 months, which is half of the statute of limitations.

The officer to whom they reported the abuse, a family friend who is now serving a 56-year sentence for child pornography, did not file any charges.

The parents refused to cooperate with the investigation, and the statute of limitations eventually passed.

The sheriff's report are public records of which the only legal requirement is the redaction of the names of minors.

Jim Bob and Michelle "defaced and spited" their own family.

When the first daughter who was victimized came forward and reported the abuse, they did nothing.

They did not act until 18 months later when three more of their daughters came forward and reported being abused as well.

After this, he went on to molest his cousin as well.

Had they acted after the first victim came forward, there would not have been four additional victims.

That is deplorable.

Forcing those girls to live with their abuser is deplorable.

Broadcasting their lives on television, publicizing their family, and inviting scrutiny, knowing this is in their past and could possible come out is deplorable.

Those parents are concerned about the well-being of those girls one bit.

Exposing the abuse they allowed to happen and then tried to cover up in order to shield their precious son from consequences is justice.

I always found the entire family to be creepy to be honest. Maybe creepy isn't the word, but something seemed..off about them.

I am sure they did know.

For example, Evangelical Christians do not accept the concept of sexual orientation. So one is not a homosexual, he is just someone who struggles with same-sex attraction. Same-sex sexual activity is simply sexual immorality. If one is not actively engaging in said activity, he is not a homosexual.

In their interview with Megan Kelley, Jim Bob and Michelle stated they do not believe that Josh is a pedophile, because he is no longer engaging in the sexual immorality with children.

This mindset is one of the reasons child sexual abuse is so pervasive in the church.

They do not see child abusers or pedophiles as people with persistent, difficult to treat psychiatric disorders.

They see them as ordinary people who are struggling with a sexual sin that can be overcome through Christ.

That their friend the sheriff was struggling with the sexual sin of pornography is probably why they brought their son to him in the first place.

He is an authority figure who can credibly threaten their son but whom will not actually do anything, and is also someone who can relate to him about his struggle with sexual sin.

Knowing how these people operate, that is too much of a coincidence to be happenstance.

Robtard
I sincerely hope that's incorrect (them knowing), just makes them bigger scumbags if so.

But now that you mentioned it, I can imagine the scenario: "Son, talk with this man, he had the same demons as you do and through the power of Christ he rid himself of them."

I have to agree that this is the mindset of many fundamentalist Christians.

I believe he was 14 when the fondling happened. Which makes him a minor. Now if you had kids you probably would have done the same thing. I believe the law states its up to the parents to decide what to do. I don't think it was morally right to leek it to the media, when the problem had been addressed years ago. It would be one thing if he was doing this as an adult yes? But a 14 year old, seems the law gives the parents authority what to do.

I doubt the parents had any clue the sherriff they sent him too had a sick problem of child pornography. Unless you think they willfully sent there child who was having a touching problem to a known child pornographer. Anyways I know he spoke out against LBGT community about child touching, and that makes him a hypocrite, however, everyone is hypocrites at some point in there life, and something he did at 14, is he held accountable for it for the rest of his life?

I think the issue is that after the parents found out about the first incident, theirs actions or inactions allowed him to attack four(?) more victims.

From the interview I watched, it sounded like they jumped on it as soon as they found out about it. They separated him from the girls, he was not allowed to be alone with anyone other then the parents at any given time. Then some more touching happened and they sent him to counseling.

Bottom line, the situation is fcked because the kid was a minor, and had some issues. No legal recourse would really happen, because of that. Its a very complicated situation, I don't think it did anyone help but the media too leak a 15 year old story, on which the family had gotten passed.

Seems like they didn't do enough, considering her went on to molest four more victims. Which is what my point about "being the issue" was.

If they weren't public figures who use their public figure status to give voice to matters, I'd probably agree. But they are and seeing/hearing how holier-than-thou ranters are really just shitbags sells.

edit: I'd also like to point out another fact that someone brought up about this family being sold as "the ideal moral family". It's apparently a farce and imo, it's important that people who take what this family says to heart know the truth.

Even a 14 yr. old should know better then to fondle his sisters. The parents also had the kids who had been molested living in the same house as the one who did the molesting. Is that a parent whose judgement you trust?

On the other hand, in their show they tried to give off this squeaky clean "I go on my daughters dates with her!" image. They were also far too preachy even BEFORE this news came out.

They gave a pretty good explanation as for there actions by trying to protect there daughters as well as there son at the same time, so I can understand why they were being pulled in two different directions. I think this can be chalked up too, no mater how good you want to be, every family has secrets.

A 14-year-old knows it is wrong to put his fingers inside the vagina a 5-year-old, which is what he did and is the age of the youngest victim.

The molestation began when he was 14, but continued until he was nearly 17.

Any other adult who had been given that information would have had a legal and moral responsibility to report it. Why should the parents be held to a lesser standard than a total stranger?

Moreover, the parents did not address the abuse whatsoever. They sent Josh to live with a family friend for a few months to help him renovate a building for his business. When he returned, they made him apologize to his sisters, and made his sisters forgive him. Then they made his sisters live in the same household with him and broadcast the entire awkward living situation on national television.

Yea if it continued past 14, that's a big deal and he had been told "no" thats a big deal. Whatever happened though, seems this would have been better left to the family and authorities rather then media.

But this isn't just about TLC. Even if the network did know, the public did not. Being on the show put the info at risk of being leaked to millions of people. If they wanted to protect their kids instead of doing a reality show and informing the network what the kid did..maybe just not do one? Since obviously TLC didn't do a good enough job.

They were already under scrutiny just for the sheer fact they have so many damn kids, did they really think this wouldn't eventually come out?

Yea, what's even more to think about is, if they knew, did they know before or after they started the show.

And also, if they did know, why didn't they want to tell the public about it, so that there was not any skeletons.

Also wait hold on..we need to back up. Is it actually true TLC knew about this? Since I could of sworn they were condemning the actions once the news came out and also cancelled the show because of it. If they knew, it means they didn't really a give a damn and only cancelled it due to public backlash as opposed to the network having any issues with it.

I dunno, that sounds like something that could ruin the entire network.

No, it did not go to court, because Jim Bob was running for public office when the first victim came forward, and he did not want it to be a matter of public record during his campaign, so he and Michelle waited until the campaign was over and three more victims came forward before they decided to act.

It did not go to court, because Jim Bob and Michelle did not report the abuse to a neutral authority. They unofficially reported it to a family friend who is in law enforcement and would not officially charge their son with a crime.

It did not go to court, because Jim Bob and Michelle misrepresented the abuse to the person to whom they reported it. They reported that Josh had touched the breasts and vagina of his sister over her clothing while she slept on one occasion. At that time, they knew he had molested four of his sisters, up to and including fondling them under their clothing and putting his fingers inside them.

It did not go to court, because when the police launched an official investigation, they refused to cooperate with authorities, hiring a lawyer, and refusing to speak to police.

Then the statute of limitations expired.

They obstructed justice from beginning to end.

I believe they knew the officer struggled with pornography, but did not necessarily know the nature of the pornography in which he was involved.

Moreover, why should he not be accountable for something he did at 14? Fourteen-year-olds can be tried as adults and sentenced to life in prison for some crimes in this country.

Yes, if it is a criminal charge it is not the victim that decides but the public interest.

It may be hard however to prosecute if the victim refuses to cooperate.

So if your a male and you want a relationship with a boy, are you gay and a pedophile?

The center offers faith-based healing and has come under fire by some who have attended their programs.

It was founded by Duggar family friend Bill Gothard in 1961 and has locations across the country, with Josh going to the Little Rock location.

Gothard stepped down in 2014 after over 30 young women and teenagers came forward and accused him of sexual harassment.

He was never charged for any of these offenses.

I do not see a widespread movement of Muslims trying to codify their religious beliefs into civil law in the United States. When that happens, I will criticize them right along with Christians and Mormons.

Then you have not been paying attention, because I responded similarly to Lena Dunham's confession that she molested her sister. Conservative or liberal, it does not matter. Unlike you, I do not have an agenda, I have convictions.

Case in point:

Allegedly visiting an island that is owned by someone who may be implicated in sex trafficking no more makes one involved in sex trafficking than one visiting a church makes him a Christian.

But logic does not matter when you are desperate to smear your political opposition.

First of all it was not allegedly. He was there with the sick offense Jeffrey. Secondly you act like this is un characteristic behavior of Bill and you simply can't believe it. Did you forget about Monica and the others?

Do tell what my agenda is, I am unclear of it.

As far as the Duggar's most of what you said has been spun and is speculation. There was some things done wrong, but you making the family out to be committing incest and rampat with sexual perversion.

You bring up this "Another fundamentalist leader who had a mentorship relationship with the Duggars, Bill Gothard, was also caught up in a sex abuse scandal last year."

Bill Gothard associated with the Duggar's at one time, does that make the Duggar's bad? Yet you ignore Bill's friendship with Jeffery and say "its alleged." And want to ignore those connections.

I caught you plain and simple.

I do? By all means, show me where I say anything of the sort.

What about Monica? Was she underage? Did she not consent? Was she trafficked? Where is the crime we are supposed to be outraged about here?

You have created three anti-Clinton threads in the last seven days alone. It is fairly obvious to everyone here what your agenda is.

Five children were victims of ongoing incestuous sexual molestation over three years. I would call that rampant incest and sexual perversion. I am sorry you think that is just "some things that were done wrong."

The Duggars did not just associate with Bill Gothard. They were his devotees and attended his Advanced Training Institute seminars. They promoted his Embassy Institute on their website as the number one resource for families. His Institute in Basic Life Principles is where they sent Josh to get counseling. He is the leader of the Quiverfull movement, which is what their entire family philosophy is built upon.

The Duggars are bad on their own. That the other leaders of the Christian patriarchy movement with which they are associated are also involved in sexual misconduct suggests that there is an endemic problem with their philosophy.

If you are so eager to catch something, try a clue.

I am sure they did know.

For example, Evangelical Christians do not accept the concept of sexual orientation. So one is not a homosexual, he is just someone who struggles with same-sex attraction. Same-sex sexual activity is simply sexual immorality. If one is not actively engaging in said activity, he is not a homosexual.

This is an objective and top-notch summary of Evangelical Christians. thumb up I'm surprised to read a level-headed summary, from an atheistic homosexual, on the internet.

Any other adult who had been given that information would have had a legal and moral responsibility to report it. Why should the parents be held to a lesser standard than a total stranger?

The parents should have gotten their son and daughters counseling (if necessary). But, no, not report it. He was a minor. For minors, you don't report a pathology (that was acted on) to the police: you take the kid to (a) mental health professional(s). After consulting with a mental health professional, that person can recommend you involve DHS if things are too serious and the parents do not have full control of the situation (such as DHS assisting with temporary placement and shifting around the young man to proper counselors).

DHS will most certainly not report a situation like that to the police. DHS, also, will make the call to involve police if the parents did something criminal in the situation (notice it is DHS that should determine whether or not to call the police?) The "perpetrator" is a minor. The police action that might happen would be the parents getting reported IF the parents show a history of sweeping the abuse under the rug and DHS finds out.

Source: Just asked my workout buddy, who is a Supervisor at DHS, how situations like these are supposed to be handled. thumb up On topic, he thinks the situation was handled poorly by the parents but not poorly enough for them to get into trouble.

Moreover, the parents did not address the abuse whatsoever. They sent Josh to live with a family friend for a few months to help him renovate a building for his business. When he returned, they made him apologize to his sisters, and made his sisters forgive him. Then they made his sisters live in the same household with him and broadcast the entire awkward living situation on national television.

I see 2 problems:

1. He wasn't sent to counseling.
2. The sisters were "forced" to forgive.

I see a very good reaction of the parents:
They removed the boy from the home and sent him somewhere else for a bit. That's generally an excellent way to react.

However, the "receiving" guardian needed to be informed, the young man go to counseling, and for the young man to have dutiful watchful eyes on him (meaning, don't let him be alone with children).

They obstructed justice from beginning to end.

That's a strong accusation that is not really supported but what took place. Unless you're using "obstruction of justice" in a general sense and not an overt legal sense? If in a general sense, yeah, their obstinance and stubbornness obstructed a proper handling of the situation. But the idea of meting justice on a minor due to his parents being idiots is not really that cool. You shouldn't exact justice on minors like this. You get them help and rehabilitate them.

The facility Josh Duggar attended for treatment after molesting young girls has been identified as Basic Life Principles Training Center.

The center offers faith-based healing and has come under fire by some who have attended their programs.

It was founded by Duggar family friend Bill Gothard in 1961 and has locations across the country, with Josh going to the Little Rock location.

Gothard stepped down in 2014 after over 30 young women and teenagers came forward and accused him of sexual harassment.

He was never charged for any of these offenses.

The situation keeps getting more and more f*cked up the more details that come forward. confused

I think KMC should have a sexual misconduct policy.

The girl talks about kissing her bro..jeez. Normally I'd think she meant..maybe a kiss on the cheek, but now you have to wonder. It also somewhat sounds like the parents make out in front of them so they can learn to kiss?

Good lord..I honestly have to ask if these people have any type of publicist or anyone who handles public relations. Since I would be telling these people to STOP giving interviews, they do not help themselves at all.

This just goes to show: never trust a man with two first names.
