But even more shockingly, it was then revealed two of those girls are in fact his sisters Jill and Jessa.
And with 22-year-old Jessa is now pregnant with her first child, who she is expecting with doting husband Ben Seewald, the family certainly don’t need any more drama on their plate.
Sharing a smiling bump selfie to her Twitter page, Jessa wrote: ’22 weeks 3 days’ across the photo, which she captioned: ‘At #22Weeks, #BabySeewald now weighs just over a pound!’
Sadly, while Jessa should be revelling in her first pregnancy, it has been somewhat overshadowed by her brother’s criminal past.
After acknowledging what he had done on the show in May, one of the victims who is not related to the family, is said to have become understandably upset.
Speaking to InTouch, a source told them: ‘The victim is preparing to sue.’
‘The whole sordid affair with Josh rattled a lot of people, including the victim, who had to relive this nightmare all over again.’
