The sexual abuse case involving "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar, who allegedly molested five minor girls multiple times during two years, did not end when Springdale, Arkansas police closed its investigation in 2006 due to the statue of limitations.

The police referred the case to the Families in Need of Services agency, which has jurisdiction over minors. Nine months after the agency and the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) started working on the case, Duggar sued the Department of Human Services, reports In Touch Weekly.

There was a trial on Aug. 6, 2007, but the results of the trial are sealed. A source familiar with the investigation told In Touch that Duggar likely appealed the DHS decision or what the agency found in their investigation.

"Josh would be considered an in-home offender, giving DHS the authority to do an investigation. As part of your appeal rights you can request a DHS hearing to challenge what they found and their ruling," the source said.

In Touch exclusively obtained the Springdale Police Department's report through the Freedom of Information Act. Information in the official police report shows that Jim Bob Duggar waited more than a year after Josh confessed to sexually molesting the minors before contacting police.

Jim Bob also refused to allow police to interview Josh when they started the felony investigation in 2006, according to In Touch.

The police report reveals the following facts about Josh's molestation case:

  • Josh was investigated for multiple sex offenses, including forcible fondling, involving five female minors.
  • Some of the alleged sexual offenses were felonies.
  • Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were interviewed by the Springdale Police department on Dec. 12, 2006 at which time Jim Bob told police a female minor told him in March 2002 that Josh, 14, had been touching her breasts and genitals as she slept. This allegedly happened multiple times.
  • Jim Bob also told police that in July 2002 Josh admitted to fondling a minor's breasts while she slept.
  • One of Josh's victims was allegedly as young as 5 years old when he touched her private parts, according to In Touch.

In March 2003, Jim Bob told police "there was another incident." A female minor accused Josh of touching her breasts and genitals.

According to In Touch, Jim Bob met with church elders to discuss his son's abusive behavior. The church elders and Josh's parents decided to send him to a program that consisted of "hard physical work and counseling" from March 17, 2003 until July 17, 2003.

Michelle later admitted to police that Josh did not receive counseling, according to In Touch. He had been sent during that time to work with a family friend in his home remodeling business.
