Josh Duggar Moving Houses Amid Molestation Scandal: Picture

August 2024 · 2 minute read

Josh Duggar is starting fresh in a new house amid the continued fallout of his molestation scandal. Moving trucks were spotted outside the 19 Kids and Counting star's five-bedroom home in Oxon Hill, Md., on Tuesday, June 9, days after his parents and sisters sat down with Fox News' Megyn Kelly to address his past "mistakes."

Josh, 27, lived in the Oxon Hill home with his wife, Anna, and their three (soon to be four) kids. The couple are parents to daughter Mackynzie, 5, and sons Michael, 3, and Marcus, 23 months, with another little girl on the way.

It's not clear at the moment where the family is moving, but a change of scenery might be just what they need. Josh has been under fire since late May, when it was revealed that he "inappropriately touched" five young girls (including sisters Jill and Jessa, who came out as victims to Fox News) when he was 14. 

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret," he said in a statement on May 21. "I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation…I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life."

His parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, echoed Josh's regrets on The Kelly File on June 3, saying they were "devastated" by his confession but believed he had really changed. Their sit-down was followed on June 5 by an interview with Jill and Jessa, who said they'd forgiven their brother for what he'd done.

"I do want to speak up in his defense against people who are calling him a child molester or a pedophile or a rapist, some people are saying,” Jessa told Kelly. "I'm like, 'That is so overboard and a lie really.' I mean, people get mad at me for saying that, but I can say this because I was one of the victims."
