19 Kids And Counting alum Joseph Duggar sent several love eimails from jail to his wife, Kendra, following his arrest last month for allegedly molesting a nine-year-old girl during a Florida vacation in 2020.
Duggar sent the first e-mail just less than a week after his arrest in Tontitown, Arkansas, on March 18, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
“hopefully this finds you well. love you sweetie! <3 <3 <3 love you to the moon and back,” he wrote in an e-mail on March 23.
Kendra responded within hours of receiving message, writing back: “I got your message! I love you!! Hang in there.”
In another e-mail, 31-year-old Duggar appears to be reminiscing about a recent phone call with Kendra.
“great talking with you today! i always love getting to hear your voice! hope you have a wonderful grade filled day!” he said, adding several bible passages that have been helping him cope while behind bars.
Kendra also sent Duggar the lyrics to a Megan Woods song, The Truth, including “I don’t belong to lies, I belong to you.”
Duggar was initially charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older. Days after his arrest, Kendra too was taken into custody and they were both hit with four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment.
The latter charges are unrelated to the molestation case.
Duggar is now back home with 27-year-old Kendra after posting a US$600,000 bond during a court hearing in Florida on Friday. He is due back in May for his arraignment. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
