Following his arrest, Duggar pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial, indicating a legal strategy to challenge the prosecution&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<p>On March 31, it was confirmed that Duggar remains in custody in Florida. However, he later posted a $600,000 bond and was released. The court ordered him to have no contact with the victim and no unsupervised interaction with minors under 18 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s wife, Kendra Duggar, was also briefly detained and released on bond. Both face charges related to endangering a minor and false imprisonment. Kendra is under a no-contact order with the victims to ensure their safety and prevent interference.<\/p>\n<p>If Kendra violates the no-contact order, she could face severe legal consequences, including bond revocation and arrest. Compliance with the order is a mandatory condition of her bail, and any breach could lead to her being held without bail until trial.<\/p>\n<p>For support regarding sexual assault, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE.
