Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar break silence on son Joseph’s arrest: ‘Heartbroken’

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are speaking out after their son Joseph was arrested and accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl.

“Jim Bob and Michelle are heartbroken over this entire situation. Right now, they are focused on loving their family and helping Kendra and her children during this difficult time,” a spokesperson for the couple said in a statement obtained by Page Six Monday.

“They are praying for the victim. They ask for privacy and appreciate the kind words and prayers offered by so many.”

On March 18, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office announced that Joseph, 31, had been arrested and accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl in Florida. Page Six obtained his mugshot on March 19.

The father of four was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving a victim younger than the age of 12, as well as lewd and lascivious behavior toward a victim age 18 or older.

Joseph has received no visits from loved ones while in an Arkansas jail on child molestation charges.

Page Six confirmed that the former TLC star’s attorney was his only visitor at the Washington County Correctional Facility, where he has been since Mar. 18.

The former “Counting On” star has also called just two people from jail, according to a call log exclusively obtained by Page Six.
