Josh Duggar Scandal took another turn last week when Fox News aired a second interview that involved members of the Duggar Family. The interview was with Jill Duggar Dillard, 24, and Jessa Duggar Seewald, 22 who where victims of sexual molestation by older brother Josh Duggar when they were 11 and 9-years-old.

In the interview, the Duggar sisters said they had forgiven their brother for his "very wrong" actions, but downplayed his sexual abuse of them and three other girls - including their then-5-year-old sister - saying that "it wasn't like a horror story."

They described the methods of sexual molestation used by Josh Duggar as "very sly" and "subtle."

"I can see looking back my parents handled this very well," said Duggar Seewald. "They sent Josh away. They had him get help. When he came back he was a totally different person. He was repentant whenever he left. When he came back, I could see he had made life changes."

"He knew in his mind, 'My actions are wrong and I have bad intentions,' but he was very sly," said Seewald in the interview. "Like the girls didn't catch on. It was like, okay, if you catch the girl sleeping a quick feel or whatever. It was very subtle."
