[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'm asking a lot but I've never seen the show (though of course know who the Duggars are).  Can someone give a quick summary of what's going on?[/quote]

Fundamentalist Christian "Quiverful" family has 19 children, raises them with various levels of neglect and super sketchy parenting choices.  Preaches modesty, love of others, living within financial means.  TLC has a long running show about them.

Oldest son is married off super young to another cult member.  They start popping out babies.

Around 4? 5? 6? years ago it comes out that oldest son molested multiple girls (mainly his sisters) while they were sleeping when he was a teenager.  Family swept it under the rug at the time by sending him to camp Jesus to fix his troubled mind.  TLC continues to film the other family members while kicking him off the show. Wife stays with him, makes more babies.

Around 2? 3? years ago, it was discovered that he was on the ashley madison list, admitted to a porn addiction, and a prostitute claims he abused her.  Wife stays with him, makes more babies.

2 years ago feds raided his used car dealership, it is unclear what they were looking for.

Yesterday, he was arrested by the feds.  He will be arraigned today.  People are speculating about whether the charges will be financial fraud/tax evasion, or related to child abuse/pornography.  Meanwhile, the remainder of his family is all at some giant cult/homeschool conference singing away and preaching about Jesus.[/quote]
