Joseph Duggar has received no visits from loved ones while in an Arkansas jail on child molestation charges.
Duggarâs attorney was the âCounting Onâ starâs only visitor at the Washington County Correctional Facility, where he has been since Mar. 18, Page Six has confirmed.
The TLC personality has also called just two people from jail, according to a call log exclusively obtained by Page Six.
Joseph, 31, called the phone number of his wife, Kendra Duggar, on March 19, though she did not respond to the call. Joseph also called a management consultant on the same day, but the call was left unanswered.
On March 20, he called his wifeâs number and spoke for eight minutes. He called her number again on March 21 and 22, with both calls lasting 21 minutes.
On March 23, Joseph made two separate calls to Kendraâs number â with the first conversation lasting about 20 minutes and the second call ending after 9 minutes.
From March 24 to 26, Joseph had two calls to Kendraâs number per day, with each conversation lasting about 20 minutes.
The Bay County Sheriffâs Office announced on March 18 that Joseph had been arrested out of state after being accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl in Florida.
He was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving a victim younger than the age of 12, as well as lewd and lascivious behavior toward a victim age 18 or older.
Page Six obtained his mugshot on March 19, in which he was seen looking disheveled and wearing a gray shirt.
An arrest warrant affidavit revealed that a minor accusing Joseph of grooming and sexual assault told investigators that the reality star repeatedly âgrazed [her] vaginaâ with his hand during a family vacation in 2020.
The suspected victim, now 14, would also âsit on the defendantâs lapâ and Duggar would âcradle [her] with his arms,â the affidavit read.
The accuser claimed the alleged sexual assault incidents happened âseveral times,â but they allegedly âstopped occurringâ after Joseph âapproached the victimâ during the trip and âapologized for his actions,â the affidavit concluded.
He was arrested and booked at the Washington County Jail and cops told Page Six he will eventually be extradited to Bay County.
On March 20, Kendra â who shares four children with Joseph â was arrested in Arkansas and charged with four counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment.
Page Six obtained footage of her arrest in which she was seen getting a pat-down in jail. Kendra, 27, was later released and is due to appear in court on April 29.
Joseph was also hit with the same charges, in addition to his initial charges connected to the molestation case in Florida.
