Sued for assault and battery

Files Suit0 Comments

Duggar is sued by Dillon for $500,000 in damages, saying she has suffered emotionally and physically since Duggar allegedly assaulted her during consensual sex in Philadelphia. She says she is being treated by a psychiatrist for severe anxiety. Dillon’s attorney:

While sex may be consensual, an assault and battery is clearly beyond the scope of any consent. [My client] is seeking justice for herself.

The Duggar family does not comment on the suit. Duggar remains in faith-based rehab.
