前真人秀明星约瑟夫·杜加尔（Joseph Duggar）于周五在阿肯色州放弃了引渡听证会的权利，这一决定推动了他被转移至佛罗里达州，以面临一项儿童猥亵指控。
31岁的杜加尔于周四在阿肯色州汤蒂敦（Tontitown）被捕，他与家人同住于此。佛罗里达州湾县（Bay County）当局称，现在有30天时间将他从阿肯色州华盛顿县的监狱转移至佛罗里达州。
根据佛罗里达州巴拿马城（Panama City）湾县 sheriff办公室的逮捕证，约瑟夫·杜加尔被指控对一名12岁以下儿童进行猥亵行为。
他的被捕距离其兄长乔什（Josh）被判下载儿童性虐待图像罪已近五年。这对兄弟及其家人曾主演TLC电视台的节目《19个孩子和数不清的爱》，该节目在乔什·杜加尔被捕后被取消。
逮捕证称，汤蒂敦警察于周三联系了佛罗里达狭长地带的 sheriff部门，表示他们采访了一名14岁女孩，女孩称杜加尔在其9岁时的一次家庭旅行中多次对她进行猥亵。
女孩的父亲本周就虐待问题与杜加尔对质，父亲称杜加尔承认了这一行为。汤蒂敦警察让父亲在侦探在场的情况下给杜加尔打电话，杜加尔再次承认了上述行为。
周五佛罗里达州杜加尔的在线法庭日程表显示无相关信息。杜加尔家族媒体请求网站周四和周五均无人回应查询。
汤蒂敦警察局周四发表声明称调查仍在进行中。该警察局位于阿肯色州西北部奥扎克山脉的一个4300人口的小镇，将进一步问题转交给佛罗里达州湾县 sheriff办公室。
约瑟夫·杜加尔的姐姐吉尔·杜加尔·迪拉德（Jill Duggar Dillard）的家人周五发表声明称，得知这一逮捕消息”震惊且心碎”。
声明中写道：”我们强烈谴责虐待行为，支持法治，希望正义得到伸张。我们向这起不可言喻的犯罪的无辜少年受害者及其家人表示深切慰问。”
TLC的《19个孩子和数不清的爱》讲述了虔诚的浸信会信徒米歇尔（Michelle）和吉姆·鲍勃·杜加尔（Jim Bob Duggar）夫妇及其19个孩子的生活，所有孩子的名字均以字母”J”开头。
2015年，在乔什·杜加尔被指控多年前曾猥亵四名姐妹和一名保姆后，TLC取消了该节目。乔什·杜加尔的父母称他承认了抚摸行为并道歉。
2022年，他因一项接收和持有儿童性虐待图像罪被判约12年半监禁。
Joseph Duggar of “19 Kids and Counting” appears in court on child abuse charges

Former reality TV star Joseph Duggar on Friday waived his right to an extradition hearing in Arkansas, which set in motion his transfer to Florida to face a child molestation charge.
Duggar, 31, was arrested Thursday in Tontitown, Arkansas, where he lives with his family. Authorities in Bay County, Florida, now have 30 days to transfer him from the jail in Washington County, Arkansas, authorities said.
Joseph Duggar is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior on a child under 12 years old, according to an arrest affidavit from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office in Panama City, Florida.
His arrest comes almost five years after his older brother Josh was convicted of downloading child sexual abuse images. The brothers and their family starred in the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting,” which was canceled after Josh Duggar’s arrest.
Tontitown police officers contacted sheriff’s deputies in the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, saying they had interviewed a 14-year-old girl who told them that Duggar had molested her several times during a family trip to Panama City Beach when she was age 9, the affidavit said.

The child’s father confronted Duggar about the abuse this week, and the father said Duggar admitted to it, the affidavit said. Police officers in Tontitown had the father call Duggar with a detective on the line, and he again admitted to the actions.
There was no online court docket in Florida for Duggar on Friday. Nobody responded to inquiries made Thursday and Friday on the Duggar family media request website.
The Tontitown Police Department said in a statement Thursday that the investigation remains open. The police department, located in a 4,300-person town in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas, deferred further questions to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.
In a statement Friday, the family of Jill Duggar Dillard, Joseph Duggar’s sister, said it was “shocked and heartbroken” to learn of the arrests.
“We strongly condemn abuse,” the statement read. ‘We support the rule of law and hope that justice will be achieved. Our hearts go out to the innocent juvenile victim of this unspeakable crime and her family.”
TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” followed the lives of devout Baptists Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar and their 19 children, all of whose names began with the letter “J.”
TLC canceled the show in 2015 following allegations that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a babysitter years earlier. Josh Duggar’s parents said he had confessed to the fondling and apologized.
He was sentenced in 2022 to about 12 1/2 years in prison on one count each of receiving and possessing images portraying child sexual abuse.
