A non-Duggar family molestation victim is preparing to file a civil suit against Josh Duggar, sources tell In Touch magazine exclusively in the new issue on newsstands today.
The shocking development means that Josh and his parents Jim Bob and Michelle could be forced to give depositions and testify about Joshs molestation scandal. The Duggars likely will have to answer every question as they will not be able to invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination because the criminal statute of limitations has expired.
The family is once again under investigation the Department of Human Services and the fate of their reality show 19 Kids and Counting is still undecided. The impending lawsuit sets up a nightmare scenario for TLC: if the network brings back 19 Kids and Counting, the show could be on the air while the Duggars are fighting a lawsuit that exposes all of Joshs secrets surrounding the molestations and how the family covered it up.
The Duggars will face questions about how many years it took them to get Josh and his victims counseling, what type of safeguards they put in place in 2002 after first being alerted to Josh molesting female minors. All the church elders who knew about this will have to be named, a source tells In Touch.

I doubt there were ever any classmates other than sisters, maybe 3 or 4 brothers in the mix

Clearly there is more than money at stake, for some reason some important decision maker(s) at TLC want the Duggar's message spewn on the air.

Family values with a foray outside the family. Hope the cousins stayed safe. Just a guess probably more in the mix.
