Duggar Suit

[mrsrek10]

Did you Duggar watchers see the latest where a victim is suing Josh Duggar? Link

I was just browsing the internet while eating lunch and saw that and thought of you all!

Fascinating. I bet they will settle so they dont have to give depos etc

Interesting, I hadn't heard this. The last thing I saw is that Jill & Derick have decided to do some sort of long term mission work abroad, which is not surprising, but it does make it much harder to develop a Jill/Jessa spinoff.

Is it weird that I feel bad for the producers/crew of this show? They've worked a decade with this family and seem to be good people. The crew seems to have half-raised the younger ones. I just feel bad that what was probably one of the only positive relationships for the kids outside their very controlling church/family is gone.

Sooooo. Can I say why is she suing Josh after all these years? I mean the statue of limitations is up. I mean yeah she could get monetary compensation but still, why not do it before the report was leaked? I just find it very odd.

Edit: not saying she doesn't deserve something for what happened to her but I just find it weird. Although maybe she just turned 18 or something?

I agree. It does seem odd to do it now. My only guess is that she is a minor victim and was afraid to come forward/do something until now? If she was in their same reliogus group it may have taken her awhile to become unbrain washed and realize it was not her fault.

Apparently the way the law is written she's able to sue this far past the incident if she continues (or starts? I can't remember the wording) to be affected by the incident. Maybe she'd be brainwashed about it earlier and now that it's resurfaced she's in a place where she can recognize the trauma better.

I read it this way as well. I agree that maybe all that has happened recently has really brought back past pain for her.

Since josh was underage when this happened should she sue the church and Michelle and Jim Bob? What could the court do in that situation? I feel like the wrong people are being sued.
