Here is an interesting fact among the Jewish Chasidim. They have very strict rules of conduct and keep all boys and girls separated from each other at all times, except for family members. Marriages are arranged, there is no courting, with boys and girls attending separate schools/yeshivas.
So what happens to these highly sequestered Jews who aren't allowed to spend any time with the opposite sex? When they become teens, and the sexual urges come upon them, they often self-experiment or experiment with members of the same sex.
How secluded of a life did Josh Duggar live? How much did his parents not tell him regarding the "birds and bees"? Sometimes a more restrictive atmosphere causes its own set of problems.
If and since he had no outlet, and if and since he grew up in a very conservative home, and if and since such a discussion is not common between very religious parents and their children, is it any wonder the poor boy's flesh got the better of him?
Name me one person on the planet besides Jesus Christ, who is old enough and physically able who has never participated in some form of lewd or perverse sexual behavior at least once in their life, or at least thought about it. Anyone who wants to crucify Josh Duggar for this ought to join him on the cross they're preparing for him.
It doesn't mean what he did was right or okay. But only someone without sin should be casting the first stone.

The sexual abuse is just a cover and an excuse for the left to use to beat this family up, in my opinion. Of course those on the left are guilty of the same... a prominent liberal named Lena Dunham has admitted publicly to doing very similar things growing up with no backlash to her.
But you are right - he who is without sin, cast the first stone...
