On Thursday, former reality TV star and right-wing lobbyist Josh Duggar was arrested by U.S. Marshals; Friday, news broke that Duggar is charged with receiving and possessing child sexual abuse images.

These aren’t the first allegations of sex crimes against children for Josh Duggar; in 2015, In Touch Weekly reported that between 2002 and 2003 — when he was 14 and 15 years old — Duggar molested five girls — four of whom are his sisters.

Cable channel TLC canceled the Duggar family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, after these allegations surfaced. But the series continued in the form of a spin-off, Counting On. What appears on its face to be an upbeat reality show about a large family is also a window into the all-embracing conservatism of some Christian fundamentalists in the United States.

Content warning: This episode contains mentions of child sexual abuse. If you are a survivor of sexual violence and need to talk, RAINN has a 24/7 hotline at +1 800 656 4673 and a live chat at RAINN.org.
