http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/05/27/1388284/-Former-Arkansas-Trooper-Jim-Bob-Duggar-lying-only-told-him-about-one-incident-with-one-girlLooks like the Duggar situation isn't going away any time soon. In an interview with Intouch Weekly, the trooper who Jim Bob Duggar allegedly reported the multiple molestation incidents says good ol' Jim Bob is lying:
In the new interview from prison, Hutchens said he was told by Jim Bob and Josh that Josh had inappropriately touched [redacted] during the time she was asleep. He said he touched her through her clothing and he said it only happened one time.
He said the fact that it was a one-time incident influenced his decision not to report it. I did what I thought was right and obviously it wasnt, he says. If I had to do it over again, I would have told him immediately I am going to call the hotline and contacted the trooper that worked those cases and have a full report made. I thought I could handle it myself.
Joseph Hutchens, the former Arkansas State Trooper, who is himself serving a 56-year prison sentence for child pornography, says he regrets not doing more:
I have lost a lot of sleep over it. I am a Christian myself and I worry that something else may have happened. I would be responsible for it, in my opinion, by not reporting it. The young girl should have been my first priority.

He's chomo.... who probably "found gawd" after his second arrest and long prison sentence.
He said the fact that it was a one-time incident influenced his decision not to report it. I did what I thought was right and obviously it wasnt, he says.

Yeah, riiiiiggggghhhhttt! He probably got all the details he could, then "handled" himself while fantasizing about it. If he was a *real* "Christian", and a *real* cop, Joshie would have been in jail that day since he confessed to an officer but I'd bet money that Hutchens figured he found a new friend to share his stories, and possibly even pictures and/or victims with.
Just MY 2 cents worth

Did he produce it or possess it? First degree murderers get off with less.
