Josh Duggar Files New Lawsuit Against City, County Officials
Josh Duggar is resuming his legal action against city and county officials he believes wronged him by releasing police reports in 2015.
The disgraced reality star filed suit against Springdale city officials over the release of information related to allegations of sexual abuse.
Four of Josh Duggar’s sisters filed a separate lawsuit against the city officials, Washington County officials and In Touch Weekly magazine.
Josh’s attorneys filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court, claiming Duggar’s right to due process was violated and his privacy was invaded.
He seeks $ 75,000 in damages, legal fees and a jury trial.
A spokeswoman for Springdale, Ark., responded through counsel that this is a “misguided lawsuit against dedicated public servants.”
The city criticized Josh for “seeking damages from public tax dollars,” a similar response to their response to the Duggar sisters’ lawsuit.
Josh’s four sisters sued Northwest Arkansas officials in May, claiming police documents were improperly released to a celebrity tabloid.
The sisters filing the lawsuit are Jill Duggar (Dillard), Jessa Duggar (Seewald), Jinger Duggar (Vuolo) and Joy-Anna Duggar (Forsyth).
Federal claims include invasion of privacy, outrage and violation of the right to due process; Josh Duggar’s lawsuit comes on its heels.
Josh initially filed a motion to join, then pulled out of that suit, without explanation, in June, only to file his own suit against the defendants.
Police investigated allegations of sexual abuse against Josh Duggar in 2006, related to incidents in 2002-03, but did not file charges.
His four sisters were obviously minors at the time.
The lawsuits contend police that the case details would only be available to law enforcement, juvenile court and child services personnel.
In both lawsuits, the Duggars claim officials released documents to In Touch after it filed a state Freedom of Information Act request.
The suits say officials supervised the Police Department’s redaction and release of a report in violation of the Arkansas juvenile code.
According to the famous plantiffs, this conduct was also in violation of the Arkansas Code, plus both the Arkansas and U.S. constitutions.
Josh, then 14, revealed to his parents in March 2002, July 2002 and March 2003 that he had inappropriately touched the girls at home.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar admitted this June 3, 2015, in an interview with Fox News after the scandalous In Touch story broke.
They took the teenager to report what he had done to an Arkansas State Police employee, according to the Springdale Police report.
However, this is where it gets complicated, as the police didn’t report the matter to the state’s child abuse hotline as required by law.
Moreover, Springdale police said they didn’t learn about the accusations until someone anonymously called the abuse hotline in 2006.
By then, the criminal statute of limitations had lapsed.
Springdale police said that when they got the freedom of information request, the protections afforded to youth offenders no longer applied.
Josh resigned as a lobbyist for a group run by the conservative Family Research Council, admitted wrongdoing and went to sex rehab.
After also admitting infidelity and porn addiction, he returned to Arkansas but has been laying very, very low for the past year and a half.
He wife Anna Duggar are expecting their fifth child.

Donald Trump: "Major Lawsuit" Promised By Maryland, D.C. Officials
Usually when we talk about Donald Trump and suits, we’re making fun of one of those boxy Joseph A. Bank-looking nightmares that the president has tailored to conceal his curiously Kardashian-like badonkadonk.
Or ya know, one of the thousands of lawsuits that have been brought against Trump over the years for everything from hiring people to do work and then just not paying him to the unconstitutional nature of his controversial Muslim travel ban.
But when you’re the Donald, little legal beefs with the plebes are handled quickly and relatively cheaply by the semi-literate attorney who’s still somehow your main legal counsel.
Lawsuits brought by state attorney generals, however, are a very different story.
Officials representing Maryland and Washington, D.C. (not a state, but meh … close enough) announced on Sunday night that they plan to file suit against Trump for violating anti-corruption restrictions found in the Constitution.
The AGs will reportedly file suit as early as Monday, and will reveal further details of the legal action at that time.
The move will mark the first time that Trump has been sued by government entities as a result of his business interests.
A non-profit activist group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington recently filed a similar suit, citing Trump’s “countless conflicts of interest.”
Like the Logan Act, which has allegedly been violated by Gen. Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, Carter Page, and several others who worked on the Trump campaign, the emoluments clause is one of those arcane rules from history that you never learned about in social studies because it was just widely assumed no president would ever be in violation.
The clause prohibits presidents from receiving any sort of income from foreign governments.
Before the president was sworn into office in January, Trump’s team promised to track and donate to charity all profits traceable to heads of state.
To the surprise of maybe like three dudes still wearing MAGA hats, that hasn’t happened.
New reports from NBC and MSNBC show that income from foreign governments hasn’t been tracked at all, and in a statement that’s ballsy even by the standards of these highly testicular times, the Trump Organization admits that it has made no effort to do so:
“To attempt to individually track and distinctly attribute certain business-related costs as specifically identifiable to a particular customer group is not practical,” says a spokesperson.
Read: “That thing we said we were gonna do? Yeah, we never even tried. Too hard.”
Obviously, all of this is separate from the investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia and allegations that the president obstructed justice by encouraging FBI director James Comey to halt his investigation into Flynn.
Are we tired of winning yet, folks?

Duggar Girls" Molestation Lawsuit Criticized By City Officials: Cash Grab Alert!!
As reported last week, four Duggar sisters are suing their hometown over the release of documents pertaining to the Josh Duggar molestation case.
Now, the Arkansas town is firing back.
Jill (Duggar) Dillard, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald, Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo and Joy-Anna Duggar all filed a lawsuit against the city of Springdale.
The Duggar girls are suing the police and city officials and In Touch Weekly magazine, as well, in regard to the release of this information.
According to the lawsuit, the Counting On stars claim that the city was wrong to release official documents that contained their statements.
Jinger, Joy-Anna, Jill and Jessa spoke to police back in 2006, when they were minors, about Josh molesting them years before that.
By releasing these docs to In Touch, which published the details, the four girls say the defendants exposed them on a global scale.
The City of Springdale sees this differently, however.
“The claims and allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and are false,” the statement reads in part, disputing the girl’s central point.
“[The lawsuit] claims that that the release of a heavily redacted police report pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act Request was somehow unlawful.”
“We are confident that the Federal Court will take the time to carefully hear the facts and arguments in this matter.”
“It is unfortunate that now, at this late date, the Plaintiffs have chosen to file a misguided lawsuit,” said the city in its response.
Springdale lamented the case being brought “against dedicated public servants and seeking damages from public tax dollars.”
Implicit here is the accusation that the Duggars are doing this two years after the scandal broke as a money-making endeavor.
The Duggar girls counter that they’re only taking legal action now in order to help prevent other child victims from such “reckless reporting.”
“This case is solely about protecting children who are victims of abuse,” Jill, Jessa, Jinger and Joy-Anna Duggar said in their statement.
“Revealing juvenile identities under these circumstances is unacceptable, and it’s against the law,” the four siblings added.
By suing, they hope that “media and custodians of public records who let these children down must be held accountable.”
“This case has vast implications for all our children. We hope that by bringing this case to the public’s attention, all children will be protected.”
They do have a point in one important sense:
While the police documents released were redacted to remove the victims’ names and other identifying information, as the city claims.
However, enough information was left in the documents that it was obvious that the victims in the case were Josh’s four younger sisters.
What’s the point of redacting anything then?
If the goal is to protect minors, but officials willingly disseminate information that fails to achieve this, there should be consequences.
This may well depend on whether they met that reasonable threshold. Jill tweeted a link to a story about the lawsuit, along with a message.
“We hope our lawsuit will send a clear message that releasing the names of juveniles is never OK,” the eldest of the four wrote.
