I find a lot of parallels between Cosby and Josh. Both had secret sexual obsessions, while trading on their wholesomeness. In one respect, Cosby is worse, since he refuses to just go away, and is now allowing his wife to make a fool of herself while he hides behind her skirts. On the other hand, Josh is worse, since he preyed on children. but, at least, he is smart enough to disappear, and keep a low profile.
In the prison world, the three lowest forms of life are imprisoned cops, snitches, and child molesters, with molesters being the lowest. They are routinely kept segregated, to protect their lives. While I find that Josh is, in fact, scum, I would not want him imprisoned, unless convicted for something new, since he would probably be killed in prison. The fact that he is no longer on the radar is enough for me. Forgiveness? Not by me. But, his fate up to now is of his own doing, and well deserved. Those that claim that he is guilty only of "playing doctor" are beyond the pale, anyway, so I don't concern myself with their opinions.
As for the Duggar family, their issues go deeper. These people pimp their kids out to make a living. Should they be penalized for Josh's misbehavior? No. They should be penalized for making media whores out of themselves. Frankly, many of those kids are never going to have a normal life.
