Joseph Duggar from “19 Kids and Counting” faces a child molestation charge in Florida tied to a girl’s account of abuse. Authorities on Thursday said Duggar is awaiting extradition from Arkansas to Florida. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office says a 14-year-old told police he molested her several times on a family trip to Panama City Beach. She says she was 9 at the time. Investigators say her father confronted Duggar this week and heard an admission. Police say Duggar repeated that admission on a recorded call with a detective. Court records do not list an attorney for Duggar. A request for comment was made to the family.
