“19 Kids and Counting” star\u00a0Joseph Duggar<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— one of Josh Duggar<\/strong><\/a>‘s brothers — appeared in court in Arkansas for the first time since his arrest for alleged child sex abuse … and he agreed to be extradited to Florida, the state where he allegedly sexually assaulted a 9-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The reality TV star appeared Friday in court via Zoom and waived his right to an extradition hearing … and now authorities in Florida have 30 days to pick Joseph up from an Arkansas jail.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

As we reported … Joseph was arrested<\/strong><\/a> Wednesday in Tontitown, Arkansas and charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor … this after a now-14-year-old girl told law enforcement about several alleged incidents with Joseph that she claims occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, FL in 2020 when she was 9 years old.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, the alleged victim claims Joseph repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap and next to him on a couch under a blanket, where he allegedly manipulated her underwear, grazed her genitals, and rubbed her thighs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
