are suing the city, the county and the publishers of InTouch Weekly for
breaching their privacy.
They allege city and county investigators promised them confidentiality. That
was after an anonymous tipster reported the girls had been molested by their
brother. They allege that the city and county breached that promise when
documents were released to the magazine containing enough information to
identify the sisters.
They allege the magazine then exposed them globally.
The four were among the “19 Kids and Counting” on the TLC reality show that
chronicled the personal life of Arkansas parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. It
was pulled from the network last year over revelations that Josh, oldest of the
Duggar siblings, had molested four of his sisters and a baby sitter.
