106. It was destroyed yesterday, as I understand it.
Sat May 23, 2015, 11:23 AM
May 2015

My understanding is that it was destroyed yesterday at the request of one of the victims, who is still a minor. It required a judge's authorization.

I guess it hadn't been destroyed until now because no one requested that it be. That would have required going to a judge, which would have potentially gotten some publicity or left a paper trail--or at least the Duggars might have feared that happening.

Well isn't he special! Gawd forgave him. Ask his victims if they do. leftofcool May 2015 #1

Yes. And that article shows that the focus here on the actions of a 13-14 year old may be misplaced. pnwmom May 2015 #24
Uh, no. Not misplaced. shenmue May 2015 #25
You think the FOCUS should be on the individual 13-14 year old rather than his parents pnwmom May 2015 #26
