Kendra Duggar, the wife of Joseph Duggar — who starred in the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting and was arrested last Wednesday on child molestation charges — was detained on Friday on multiple misdemeanour charges.

Duggar, 27, is facing four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment, the Tontitown, Ark., police department said in a Facebook update on Friday.

“This remains an active and ongoing investigation,” the statement said, adding that Arkansas law limits the release of information in investigations involving minors.

Joseph Duggar is also facing the same misdemeanour charges, police said.

“To protect the integrity of the investigation and the privacy of those involved, no further details will be provided at this time,” the department added.

Detention records on the Washington County, Ark., sheriff’s office website show that Kendra Duggar was booked at about 5 p.m. on Friday and released at 6:19 p.m.

She has a hearing scheduled for Monday, the Guardian reported.

Duggar’s arrest came days after her husband was detained in Tontitown, Fla., over allegations involving a nine-year-old girl during a family vacation in Panama City Beach in 2020, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release last week.

According to the sheriff’s office, the victim reported that Joseph Duggar “repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap.”

“As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket,” investigators said.

“During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and grazed her genitals. Duggar would also continue to rub his hands on her thighs.”

The victim, who is now 14, told police the incidents stopped after Joseph eventually apologized for his actions.

Joseph is currently awaiting extradition to Bay County, police said.

Kendra’s charges are unrelated to her husband’s 2020 case.

The 31-year-old son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar appeared in 19 Kids and Counting alongside his siblings and parents. The show followed their large family, all of whom have names beginning with the letter “J,” and adhered to a strict homeschooling schedule and rigid religious practices.

The family follows the beliefs of the Institute for Basic Life Principles, an organization that preaches an ultra-conservative Baptist branch of Christianity.

The series was cancelled in 2015 after the Duggars’ eldest son, Joshua, was accused of molesting four of his sisters as a teenager. He is currently serving jail time for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. He was sentenced to over 12 years in federal prison in May 2022.

That shooting left 7 dead, including 5 children, and left Maya in critical condition and dozens of others injured. Maya has been in BC's Children's Hospital since the shooting on Feb 10th. Maya's condition had a very recent setback, so I am asking for prayer for her and her family.

The shooter was a transgender who also shot and killed his mother and little brother before going to the school.

One of the victims in the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooting has suffered a setback.

Cia Edmonds, whose daughter is 12-year-old Maya Gebala, said in an update posted online that she did not undergo a scheduled skull repair surgery last week because doctors found a leaking abscess.

“For every one who’s been asking and messaging. I dont have the capacity to hold conversations,” Edmonds wrote. “It has been grit and determination that pushes maya.. and infections, that set her back a land side….”

Gebala has been in BC Children’s Hospital since the shooting in February that killed seven people and injured dozens. The shooter also died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The surgery last week would have been Gebala’s fourth and was to place a prosthetic piece in the girl’s skull where she was shot on Feb. 10.

“All I wanted was a life where I could set goals and show my daughter’s that you can be strong and accomplish anything if you try,” Edmonds wrote.

“I wanted to love them. I wanted to support them. I looked forward to talks about boys, school, sports, and what else… I looked forward to loving them unconditionally, and being the mother they would call when they’re adults, tired with life.

“Just because they want their mom.. I would give anything to go back. I would give anything to have us whole again.”

In a previous post, Edmonds said her daughter still cannot talk or move her right side, but she can move her left hand and leg and is able to stare at her mother with her uninjured eye.

Islam in America > Will Americans learn from the UK's Grooming Gang scandal? Female police chief dons hijab to enter Florida mosque

 

Americans, Learn From the UK’s Grooming Gang Scandal

Mar 22, 2026 12:00 pm By Peter McIlvenna1 Comment

A grooming scandal that has been discussed for years in London is finally getting attention.

MPs and London Assembly members are demanding an urgent investigation into grooming gangs in the city. They say authorities have failed to act on reports from survivors about the systematic abuse and exploitation of girls as young as 14.

This comes after a BBC investigation uncovered stories of young women being drugged, assaulted by multiple men, and forced into sex work to pay off drug debts. These cases are similar to those in Rotherham and Rochdale, where thousands of girls were abused over many years.

The letter, signed by figures such as Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp and former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith, was sent to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and London Mayor Sadiq Khan. It calls for the national inquiry into grooming gangs to focus on London.

Khan has been criticized for saying there were “no reports and no indication” of organized abuse in the city and for not addressing questions about whether Muslim rape gangs have operated there. Critics now accuse him of ignoring the issue.

The Metropolitan Police are reviewing 9,000 child sexual exploitation cases, with estimates suggesting that 2,000 to 3,000 involve grooming gangs. As in earlier scandals, most suspects are men of Pakistani heritage accused of targeting white English non-Muslim girls.

Grooming gangs have operated for decades and have faced little interference, with group-based child exploitation dating back to at least the mid-1970s. Authorities often overlooked these crimes while focusing on other types of child abuse. The problem became widely known in the 1990s and 2000s, but institutional failures allowed it to continue.

Nearly 100 trials and convictions have occurred in over 40 towns and cities across the U.K., including Rotherham, where more than 1,400 victims were identified between 1997 and 2013, as well as in Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, and Huddersfield.

Despite this, London’s mayor has said there are no such cases, or none on the same scale, in the capital. This has led to public anger, especially as the Metropolitan Police review thousands of old cases.

This issue has been ongoing for years. The grooming gang crisis in Britain reveals a pattern of organized groups, often made up of Muslims, targeting white working-class girls.

Authorities sometimes dismissed these cases out of fear of being accused of racism or Islamophobia. In Rotherham, a 2014 independent inquiry found that police and social services ignored evidence for years because they worried about “community tensions” and being labeled as bigots. Whistleblowers were called racists. As a result, offenders acted without fear for years, while victims were ignored or blamed.

Similar problems continue today. Labour recently adopted a definition of “anti-Muslim hostility,” replacing the term “Islamophobia.” Critics say this change could make it harder to discuss cultural or religious factors in these crimes. Using religious terms to describe grooming gangs might now be seen as problematic under the new guidelines, which could affect public debate and investigations. If journalists are accused of Islamophobia for reporting on grooming gangs, it could discourage important journalism.

Americans, please take heed.

The U.K.’s nightmare—decades of impunity shielded by political correctness—is a clear warning for your porous southern border and unchecked immigration. With millions crossing under prior policies, including coming from regions with similar attitudes toward women, the risk of imported grooming networks grows.

In states like Minnesota and Michigan, vulnerabilities in certain communities have seen exploitation spikes, often downplayed amid cries of Islamophobia. FBI reports on human trafficking flag risks in migrant populations.

Accusations of bigotry have stopped important discussions in the U.K., and a similar pattern is emerging in the U.S. If you put “inclusivity” ahead of safety, as U.K. authorities did, you risk making the same mistakes. Victims in London today, who have suffered greatly, were let down by a system afraid to offend. In the U.S., policies like sanctuary cities and diversity initiatives could lead to similar problems.

This is about protecting children regardless of perpetrators’ backgrounds. Britain’s belated probe illustrates the cost of delay: shattered lives and damaged trust. For the U.S., the lesson is clear—vigorously enforce laws, rigorously vet immigrants, and defend free speech against smear tactics.

Ignore the dangers, and your daughters will pay the price.

Florida: Female police chief dons hijab before entering mosque

The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And one concession leads to another, until there are no more concessions to make.

The Rape of Britain > Woman feared for her life as she was gang-raped by 3 migrants on Brighton beach

 

UK: Woman recounts fearing for her life as Muslims, housed in migrant hotel, raped her on beach

Mar 20, 2026 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams5 Comments

Alshafe and Ahmadi arrived illegally to the UK by small boat, and were being housed in a migrant hotel that British citizens paid for for three months before the alleged attack. Given the sheer magnitude of Muslim attacks on infidel women (including the rape gang crisis), it is critical that illegal migrants be deported and that all entry points for such migrants be controlled. Yet Keir Starmer does nothing. Neither did the governments preceding the Labour government. The British people still have not faced the fact that their politicians do not care about their well-being, or that of their children.

The brutality exhibited toward the victim by Karin Al-Danasurt, Ibrahim Alshafe and Abdulla Ahmadi is a dehumanizing of an infidel woman, which is perfectly permissible under the Sharia:

They see the rape as a holy act of obedience to Allah and so don’t see dawah as far from it. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). And we have seen this sort of thing before. In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.” In India, a Muslim kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old Hindu girl, and forced her to read the Qur’an and Islamic prayers. In Pakistan, another Christian woman recounted that her rapist was also religious: “He threw me on the bed and started to rape me. He demanded I marry him and convert to Islam. I refused. I am not willing to deny Jesus and he said that if I would not agree he would kill me.” Rapists demanded that another girl’s family turn her over to them, claiming that she had recited the Islamic profession of faith during the rape and thus could not live among infidels.

BEACH HORROR Woman ‘feared she’d be murdered by asylum seekers who laughed as they gang-raped her on beach’

by Holly Christodoulou, The Sun, March 18, 2026:

A WOMAN feared she’d be murdered when she was allegedly dragged on to a beach and raped by three asylum seekers, a court heard.

The alleged victim broke down as she told police how she begged “get off, get off” and struggled to breathe as she was pinned down.

Egyptian nationals Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, and Ibrahim Alshafe, 25, and Iranian national Abdulla Ahmadi, 26, are accused of targeting the woman when she became separated from her friends.

In a video interview, the woman said she came to on the pebbles on Brighton beach with one man lying on her while another raped her.

She added: “I thought: ‘Oh my God you’re going to kill me’.

“I said ‘Get off, get off’ and he was holding me down. I just closed my eyes. I thought: ‘What are you going to do to me now?’”

The woman also told how she was spat on, kicked and had her throat grabbed by the “laughing” men.

Hove Crown Court heard the men were staying at Cisswood House Hotel in Horsham, West Sussex, which was Home Office-approved accommodation for asylum seekers, at the time of the alleged attack.

Jurors were told Alshafe and Ahmadi both entered the UK via small boat on June 19, 2025 – three months before the alleged rapes.

Al-Danasurt entered the country on October 11, 2024, it was said….
