On Wednesday night’s episode of “The Kelly File,” host Megyn Kelly interviewed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar about their son Josh’s confession that he molested young girls, including at least two of his sisters. Jim Bob explained that in 2002, Josh approached him and Michelle crying and admitted that he had been improperly touching young girls. The parents had “one ray of hope” in that Josh had “a tender conscience” and confessed his sins.

“This was not rape,” Jim Bob said, “he just touched them over their clothes and under, but only for a few seconds”
