State trooper who let Duggar off with a "stern talk" now serving 60 year sentence for child porn

Joseph T. Hutchens

In 2003, following Josh’s return home, Jim Bob Duggar and several church elders took Josh to Arkansas State Trooper Joseph T. Hutchens. Instead of taking procedural action against Josh, Hutchens gave Josh a “very stern talk” on the matter.

Hutchens would never follow up with the Duggars on the matter.

Hutchens’ name would surface again in 2007, when he was convicted on child pornography charges. Hutchens was paroled in 2010, but almost immediately was arrested again and charged with four counts of distribution, possession, or viewing of sexually explicit material involving a child.

He is currently serving a 60 year sentence and is not eligible for parole until 2020.

time for exploitation of young girls and the Duggars involved him in having a stern talk with a young man who abused more than one time. The counselors they used has issues, it is the circle stays within itself and it appears sexual abuse is okay. I question this group the same as I do groups as FLDS in which Warren Jeffs is serving time for rape of young girls. This needs to be looked into and valid investigations before generations continue to abuse females.

suppress them, fetishise their sexuality and treat them like vaginas with legs. There is a program they promote that has weird practices in case of sexual problems like this.

Josh Duggar said that it was his sister's fault because they were immodest with their clothing and his mom's fault because she didn't do better with them than this.

Typical patriarchical BS.

And all levels of society and they know who each other are.

Interesting that Jim-Bob sought out this particular law officer....hmmm?

Or maybe it was just one of those pesky little coincidences.

because they knew he WOULDN'T arrest Josh. Otherwise, why go to a state trooper as opposed to the local police?

And of couse....they knew him before hand. They might not have known that he was a sex criminal. But I do think they had a sense that he was someone who would "understand" and just give Josh a stern talking to.

Their goal was to avoid Josh being arrested, to protect him, but now they are trying to act like they turned Josh in to the authorities and then situation played out the way the situation played out.

There is no other way something so universally reviled by the rest of society could continue in the way it does.

I will go one step further and say there are pedophile rings that propagate this stuff. I've been looking at a blog that documents and compiles it , how these creeps destroy so many kids and get away with it because people in high places from cops to judges to politicians and media are involved.

Its sickening.

I think the Nazis had a similar problem.

Purity balls. Really?

They insist on abstinence only sex education in schools. States with abstinence only sex ed have the highest teen pregnancy rates. But think they would change it? Hell no. That would be an admission that they might be wrong about something. They would rather die than admit they are wrong.

You have to be one sick fuck to be a Republican.

Before moving to Washington DC almost two years ago to work at the Family Research Council, Josh ran a used car dealership in Arkansas and lived in a small two bedroom house owned by his parents.

He already has three kids, and another on the way.

Of course, if his wife has any sense, she will leave his perverted ass and take the kids with her. But, I don't have much hope for that happening.

TLC will definitely have to dump them now! Why? Because it's the hypocrisy, stupid...

Back in December, Josh Duggar led the Family Research Council’s effort to repeal a nondiscrimination ordinance in Fayetteville, Arkansas,...(A)fter the law was defeated, he (told) FRC leader Tony Perkins (that) not discriminating against LGBT people puts children in great danger, especially since the law might even allow a man dressed as a lady to use the wrong toilet...

Josh’s mom Michelle, who had some direct knowledge of how damaging a heterosexual boy could be, recorded a robocall that was used in the Fayetteville campaign, with dire warnings about how banning LGBT discrimination in housing, commerce, and employment would put “the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children” at risk, and would probably encourage “child predators...”
