Joseph Duggar, 31, one of the stars of “19 Kids and Counting” has pleaded not guilty to molesting a 9-year-old girl in Florida. He posted a $600,000 bond and is barred from contact with anyone younger than 18.

The accusations follow allegations made against of brother Josh Duggar, of “19 Kids and Counting.” He was arrested by federal agents on child pornography charges. He's now serving a 12.5-year federal prison sentence, followed by 20 years of supervised release after his conviction of two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography (specifically child sexual abuse material).

6-year-old Joseph "Jo-Jo" King III dies under suspicious circumstances. His stepfather, Brandon Hale, claims Jo-Jo accidentally suffocated inside a toy chest, but investigations revealed inconsistencies in this story.

Brandon Hale calls 911 to report that he found Jo-Jo unconscious in a toy chest after waking up from a nap. Jo-Jo was hospitalized with oxygen deprivation then days later An autopsy later amended the cause of death to reflect "concern for possible homicidal drowning" because the toy chest was not airtight, and parts of the scene were wet. First responders and investigators noted the toy chest was dry and partially filled with toys, while Jo-Jo's clothes were damp and a wet towel was found nearby.

Hale was previously convicted of abusing Jo-Jo with a belt in 2019, and sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating probation related to the case. He has not been charged with murdering Jo-Jo.
