Is Josh Duggar moving back to Arkansas?

On Tuesday, June 9, moving trucks were spotted outside Josh's five-bedroom home in Oxon Hill, Maryland, sparking rumors that the "19 Kids and Counting" star is preparing to move his family away from Washington D.C. and back to Arkansas to be near the Duggar family compound in Tontitown. 

Josh, 27, has lived in the home with his wife, Anna, and their three children while he worked in Washington D.C. at the Family Research Council lobbying group. Less than three weeks ago, Josh resigned from his position in the wake of recently revealed molestation allegations from 2006. 

Earlier this year, it was reported that Josh and Anna purchased a home in Siloam Springs for $55,000. The new property is said to be closer to the Duggar family's Arkansas home. 

Us Weekly reports that Steve Neild, who famously served as a bodyguard to another TLC star, Kate Gosselin, was also on hand to help Josh with the move. According to the website, Neild is a good friend of the 27-year old. 

Josh was forced to resign his FRC post in the wake of his admission that he molested four of his own sisters and an unnamed baby sister when he was just 14 years old. 

"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret," he said in a statement on May 21. 

He added, "I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation … I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life." 

As a result of the molestation scandal, TLC has yet to decide on the future of "19 Kids and Counting." It has been rumored that even if the network is forced to cancel the series, TLC is eager to launch a spin-off focused on Jill and Jessa Duggar.
