Duggars Cut Arkansas Home Price Before Sex Crime Trial

Joseph and Kendra Duggar have reduced the asking price of their Arkansas home by $8,000, approximately three weeks after Joseph pleaded not guilty to sex crime charges in Florida. He is scheduled to stand trial in the coming weeks for allegations of molesting a 9-year-old girl during a family trip in 2020. Joseph, 31, entered his plea in March and is expected to appear for a pretrial hearing on July 14. He was arrested on March 18 in Arkansas and extradited to Florida.

Following Joseph's arrest, his wife, Kendra, 27, was also taken into custody and charged with false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child. Sources indicated to People that these accusations stemmed from a "home inspection." While Joseph faces charges in Florida, the child endangerment case is noted as unrelated to the Florida accusations. Kendra has since secured her release and posted the $60,000 bond for her husband's freedom.

Reports at the time suggested that Kendra had converted the family's home into a rental property and sold personal belongings to raise funds for the bond. The couple shares four children. Joseph Duggar is the younger brother of Josh Duggar, who is a convicted sex offender. The price reduction on their Arkansas property comes as the couple faces significant legal challenges.
