the stars of tlc's popular reality show "19 kids and counting."he oldest son, josh duggar, was investigated for molesting several young girls as a teenager. his parents keeping the secret from police until the oprah show triggered an investigation. all the details just now coming to light. nbc's erica hill reports. >> we're the duggars. >> reporter: the network that made them famous, tlc, has now pulled the show "19 kids and counting" effective immediately. allegations involving the high-profile family were first revealed by "in touch" magazine in a police report. at the request of one of the alleged minor victims, a court ordered that report expunged yesterday. it says josh duggar, the family's eldest, was accused of repeatedly molesting five underage girls, some while they slept, in 2002 and 2003. on thursday, josh duggar, now a married father of three, said in a statement 12 years ago as a young teenager i acted inexcusably for which i am extremely sorry and deeply regret. i hurt others including my family and close friends. according to the re

you know tlc has pulled the show off the air, sponsors are fleeing. should this show be canceled erick? >> well i'm not big fan of many of these kinds of shows, so i wouldn't shed a tear if "19 kids and counting" went down for the count, to be honest. in particular you look at this and tlc has had problems with "here comes honey boo boo". these are families often under stress there's some dysfunction that is in their background and because of the structure of the show, the show tries to present the family as relatable. a tape type of family that anyone can relate to. so i think fear is an inherent resistance to delve nothing to the family's background and finding out if there's anything like these secrets that we've seen come out about the duggars and the family behind "here comes honey boo boo." and in the end, these families end up emploeding on television. and it seems there's some sort of balancing act that they're doing here and they're exploiting the families until they implode and then walk away and express sorrow and not held accountable. >> t

the writer says now's the time for tlc to. during a crisis. not what it quiet seems as the dugger seems. >> what is the crisis people should watch play out? >> i mean i don't think this is a crisis. i think this is horrible. this is a child molestation case that hasn't been prosecuted in 12 years that probably should have been. this is a family that did whatever they could to probably protect their son over the rest of their children which is absolutely horrible. they kept this as a private family matter instead of going to the police and hid that for more than a decade. this is not a crisis. this is probably illegal and i think the show should be off the air. >> the records have been destroyed by arkansas as a result of the protection they say of the victims involved in this. it doesn't appear josh dugger will be charged with any crime. we'll continue to follow the latest. thank you so much for joining us. up next explosive new act weizations from two of b.b. king's daughters. why they think he was poisoned and who they believe was behind it.
