## Transcript

Part two of Fox News' special featuring the Duggar family aired Friday. With two survivors of Josh Duggar's sexual abuse finally speaking out. Jessa Duggar Seewald, and Jill Duggar Dillard say they were inappropriately touched by their brother, Josh, when all three siblings were minors. During and interview with Fox's Megyn Kelly, they defended their brother and said they had forgiven him. I do wanna speak up in his defense, against people who are calling him a child molester or a pedophile or a rapist, some people are saying. And like, that is so overboard and a lie, really. I mean, People get mad at me for saying that, but I'm like, I can say this.

I was one of the victims. Instead, the Duggar sister said the release of the report, which was first published by In Touch Weekly, was a form of exploiting them. Well, I see it as a revictimization that's even a thousand times worse. Why? Because This is something that was already dealt with. We've already forgiven Josh, we've already moved on. The sisters question the legality of releasing a juvenile record. However, the city attorney for Springdale, Arkansas, said in a statement that the police records were not illegally released. Kelly reported the Duggar parents have suggested they're looking into legal action against the parties involved.
