Arkansas police have destroyed the records of the investigation into Josh Duggar's alleged molestation of five underage girls, a police spokesman announced Friday, a day after the reality TV star resigned his position as head of FRC Action.
Springdale Police spokesman Scott Lewis said Judge Stacey Zimmerman ordered the 2006 offense report destroyed Thursday. Zimmerman didn't return a request for comment on Friday.
"The judge ordered us yesterday to expunge that record," Lewis said, adding that similar records are typically kept indefinitely. "As far as the Springdale Police Department is concerned this report doesn't exist."
Neither Duggar nor his father, a former state representative, returned calls seeking comment Friday.

(714 posts)and yet Josh Duggar is allowed to walk free, and because he's not going to be a registered sex offender, nothing stops him from working with children in the future.

Which is probably devastating for the girls.
