'19 and Counting' star Josh Duggar suspected to use Ashley Madison
The Duggar family have added another scandal to their name.
According to Gawker, Josh Duggar had spent almost $1,000 on subscriptions for the notorious dating site, AshleyMadison.com. The site is designed for married individuals to find love affairs.
Josh Duggar is currently married to Anna, both parents of four children. They are stars of TLC's series "19 Kids and Counting." Duggar was recently accused of molesting underaged girls, including his younger sisters, when he was a teenager. Fortunately, his family stood by his side as he admitted to the accusations, stating that he had confessed it before to his parents.
Duggar posted on his social media, "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy, and redemption."

With the hacking issues concerning Ashley Madison, a credit card under the name of Joshua Duggar was found with the billing address of the Duggar family. It showed two subscriptions during February 2013 and May 2015. The source also noted that the profile of the account expressed interest in "one-night stands," "experimenting with sex toys," "someone who can teach me," and "open to experimentation." It also stated the other account was addressed to his home in Maryland, where he stayed while he was working as an executive director of the conservative Family Research Council. The council aims "to champion marriage and family as the foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society."
After news and charges of the molestation, Duggar was forced to leave his position.
