[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

Developing on the anniversary of Josh Duggar‘s conviction on youngster pornography expenses, we’re truly studying extra concerning the investigation that led to his arrest!

Clearly the person has a tight-knit household who are inclined to preserve issues secret, however there’s one member of the family who isn’t about that anymore. His cousin Amy Duggar King spoke to The Solar about how the investigation even darkened her doorstep a while within the spring of 2021. In a very comical anecdote, contemplating the subject material, the 19 Children and Counting star recalled how she had simply gotten out of the bathe when Division of Homeland Safety brokers got here knocking. She was in her PJs, hair in a towel, when she opened the door to search out some very severe males.

“They had been like, ‘Ma’am, are you Amy King?’ and I informed them I used to be. After which they stated, can we ask you a number of questions?’, and I used to be like, ‘Positive, can I dry my hair first?’ however they stated no.”

Amy laughed telling the story. Although it was clear to those brokers it was no laughing matter, in addition they weren’t letting her in on the lack-of-joke. So she had no thought what the eff was happening or why Homeland Safety had been speaking to her!

She continued:

“I allow them to in and so they simply sat there, and simply requested me questions concerning the household, whether or not I knew something and I used to be simply blown away. I wasn’t even certain what they had been asking me about, so I used to be similar to ‘I don’t know what you’re getting at.’”

She defined it is sensible in hindsight:

“After all, they don’t let you know as a result of they’re fishing for data. So I had nothing to truthfully give them. I stated I want I may let you know extra about no matter has occurred however I do know nothing.”

Amy’s husband Dillon King added:

“The issue is, we didn’t know s**t, as a result of we don’t know what’s happening of their life as a result of we’d began separated ourselves [from them] sort of already.”

Confused, they reached out to patriarch Jim Bob Duggar. In any case, if anybody knew it will be him. He was the one who saved the household’s secrets and techniques — and their actuality TV cash. He brushed them off. However clearly if Homeland went all the way in which to a cousin, they should have spoken to Josh’s mother and father and siblings. Nonetheless, that wall of silence was up already. The identical one which protected the eldest boy when he was first accused of molesting youngsters as a teen.

However then Josh was arrested. And on April 29, 2021, every part modified as her cousin was charged with receipt and possession of kid pornography. That was the second the Kings went from “sort of” distancing themselves from the Duggars to slicing off all contact with the well-known household:

“I feel that’s actually the place I attempted to take a stand and informed myself I’m 100% getting into the wrong way of this. I’m okay to talk my thoughts at this level, I’m holding nothing again.”

Not solely that, she determined she wouldn’t keep silent about it like many of the household was:

“[One of my friends told me] you might be your individual particular person, you’ll be able to get up in opposition to this, and you are able to do it in a means the place you’re not being imply to somebody or disrespecting somebody, however level out that that is unsuitable. As a result of that is unsuitable in each definition … it was heartbreaking. It was tragic. And to be trustworthy, I used to be downright pissed.”

Can’t say we blame her. And if Jim Bob’s dismissal earlier than the arrest wasn’t sufficient, his protection of Josh’s conduct throughout the trial was much more disgusting. Clearly, Amy made the correct selection.
