Agree. I don’t doubt that JimBob has threatened her life

I doubt Anna turned him in, but I absolutely do not think we can assume Anna knew he had CP on his hard drive.

Doubtful. If anyone did that it would have been Jill and would explain what the blow up was that distanced her from the rest of the family.

Sweet baby jesus would some Duggar family member please write a tell-all!

We really don’t know anything yet. She might have sent them one of his hard drives.

There were researchers who wanted to study pedophiles (the article I saw came out maybe a decade ago?) because there is some suspicion that this is something that arises in humans sometimes, and they suspect that there are more pedophiles out there, ones who do not offend. I believe the GOP shouted it down; imagine if they’d been able to glean some ways to identify pedophiles and prevent them from victimizing children.

I called it on page 1 of this thread.

I'm betting Anna made an anonymous phone call to Homeland Security tip line to turn in her husband. It's a win-win. Her husband would be locked up, she will no longer be bound to him, the kids are protected, etc.

Tell me about it. I prosecuted a child porn case - just one - and I still have never gotten over the evidence I had to review. I won’t even describe it to you because it would rip your souls to shreds, too. Worst thing was the victim in one series of photos was a doppelgänger for my beloved little freckle faced ginger haired niece when she was a toddler. I still have nightmares a decade later. And daymares.

DP. That would damage me for life. Seriously thank you for doing what you did.

Yes thank you PP. I’m just gutted that anyone has to do this job. It’s one of the greatest public services a person can give but because of the taboo we don’t even give the people who do it their due credit.

But the supporting lawyer specializes in financial crimes, so there's no way he would have been brought on specifically for CP.)

What is the fraud related investigation?

He lost a civil lawsuit last year for real-estate fraud. My guess is that the same conduct was investigated for criminal charges and they subpoenaed his computer in connection with that investigation... and while examining his computer found the CP.

Let’s reserve judgement on Anna. For all we know, she could be afraid that Josh would try to kill her if she left. Or hurt the children.

I honestly wish that the death penalty were applicable to child rapists like Duggar. To abuse a child, firstly, is monstrous. To abuse a child sexually, and damage that part of their soul and life for the rest of their lives is just beyond monstrous.

If it is the former what happened to him growing up? Don’t most abusers come from a place where they were abused when little? As for religious right wingers please don’t forget you have Woody Allen who is free as a
bird and not really shunned by fellow actors.

Woody Allen is human garbage too, but he's not trying to make public policy. The GOP literally prevented the US from signing onto the UN Convention on Rights of a Child because they think child abuse is a family decision. The "church" the Duggars represent demand that women be completely subservient to men - and then men can do whatever tf they want. His politics/beliefs absolutely figure in here.

+1

He worked for an organization that the SPLC classified as a hate group, promoting hateful policies. Politics certainly figure in here.
