Did '19 Kids & Counting' Jessa Duggar Lie About Josh's Molestation During Interview?

Jessa Duggar Seewald may have been one of the victims of her brother Josh Duggar's in his sexual molestation case, but it looks like the 19 Kids and Counting starlet is covering for her brother. While the family, including Jim Bob, Michelle, and Jill Dillard have been doing damage control since the sexual abuse reports become public, it seems that during Jessa's interview with Fox News that she told a little lie. Either the star got her timetable confused as to when the events of the molestation took place, or she was trying to protect her family.

Well Radar Online has exposed the truth behind the conflicting dates.

During Jessa and Jill's interview with Megyn Kelly from FOX, the sister confessed to being victims of their brother Josh and they explained that years prior to being on the show that the family had dealt with the issues and put them in the past.

"Whenever we started the TV show, the reality show it was five years after all of this," Jessa explained in the interview. "We had dealt with it as a family. We had moved on."

However, it doesn't seem like as much time had passed between the beginning of the TV show's production and the molestation scandal as the girls would like us to believe. During Jim Bob and Michelle's interview they stated that the incident took place in 2002 and 2003, the latter being the year that the family was contacted about doing a series, at least according to Josh and Anna Duggar's official website.

"In 2003, the Duggar family was contacted by producers to film their first show with the Discovery Health Channel called, 14 Children and Pregnant Again!" the website stated. "After its premiere, the show went on to become the top rated show for the network."
