HuffPost
Amy Duggar King said she is “utterly shocked,” but “at the same time, not surprised."
Amy Duggar King, who is know to be the outspoken cousin of the famous Duggar family, said she is “shocked” but “not surprised” about Joseph Duggar’s arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl six years ago.
“In light of the recent allegations involving my cousin, Joseph Duggar, I am sickened, heartbroken and deeply angry,” King said in a Friday statement to People. “My first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust. The courage it took for her to come forward, especially after years of carrying something so heavy, cannot be overstated. That bravery deserves to be honored above all else.”
She continued saying she is “utterly shocked,” but “at the same time, I am not surprised that another alleged predator has emerged from this toxic system.”
Joseph Duggar, a 31-year-old former reality star of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting,” was arrested and charged Wednesday for lewd and lascivious behavior and molestation of a child less than 12 years old.
