It’s like a case study in grooming girls for sexual exploitation.

* Telling her he was in love with her? Check.
* Trying to shame her into keeping quiet? Check.
* Telling her it’s her fault? Check.
* Attempting to control every aspect of her life? Check.

Much as I despise the Duggar family ethic and their politics, this is bullshit. Guilt By Association like this is a trick of the right wing - no reasonable person ought to fall for this. The Duggars ought to be judged by their actions. Sure, they have bad taste in friends and associates - but don’t we all? I understand theirs may be worse, because of the movement they are a part of. But there are corrupt people and rapists on ‘the left’ and ‘the center’, too.

Wow, it’s just like he was being a common pimp. The only thing missing was the drugs.*

/// Grrrr… *drug could be an overdose of good oldtime re-ligion.

I don’t think that the Duggars are being blamed for this. They are mentioned because it gives an insight into the nature of the movement that happens to have had such corrupt leadership. People have heard of the Duggars and are familiar with their extreme views on the role of women so it helps put the story in perspective. At least, that’s my take.
