Josh Duggar-Danica Dillon Update: Pornography Found On TLC Star's Computer As Teen, Source Says
Former “19 Kids and Counting” star Josh Duggar has been watching pornography since he was a teenager, Entertainment Tonight wrote in an exclusive report Wednesday. The TLC reality star went to rehab in August for an admitted porn addiction after he was exposed in the Ashley Madison hack over the summer. Months earlier, he admitted to molesting young girls -- four of whom were reportedly his sisters -- as a teenager.
It was an unnamed family member who discovered the explicit content on the 27-year-old’s computer, but his father, Jim Bob, didn’t believe it. "[The person] went to discuss what [he or she] found with Jim Bob and were told, 'Not my son. It must have been on the computer before he got it,'" the source told ET.
In May, Duggar later omitted the part of his Facebook statement where he said he was addicted to pornography. "I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions," he said in part of his response. "I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."
While many of Duggar’s family members have forgiven him, one person who wants revenge is porn star Danica Dillon. She claimed Duggar paid her for consensual sex, but it was so rough it was as if he raped her. She is suing him for $500,000 in damages, TMZ reported Wednesday. Dillon said he “manhandled” her and that she suffered from emotional and physical damage. She has reportedly sought out a psychiatrist.
The Duggars have not responded to claims that pornography was found on Josh’s computer as a teenager, or the lawsuit that Dillon, 28, filed. It’s rumored that Duggar will leave rehab so he can spend Thanksgiving with his family.
