According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Caleb was arrested on Nov. 26 in Logan County, Illinois, and charged with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against a victim “who was at least 13 years of age but under 17 years of age.”
Caleb allegedly inserted his finger in the victim’s vagina “on or between May 29, 2015 through August 1, 2016.”
In addition, a grand jury charged Caleb with a second count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He was accused of allegedly placing “his penis in the vagina” of a victim “who was at least 13 years of age but under 17 years of age” “between August 1, 2016 through May 31, 2018.”
The bill of indictment claims Caleb “was at least 5 years older” than the victim or victims when the crimes took place.

On Nov. 28, two days after his arrest, Caleb pleaded not guilty to the crimes in an Illinois courtroom, Radar reported.
After spending just one night in jail, Caleb’s mother, Jennifer Dawn Williams, co-signed ten percent of a $50,000 bond. The 24-year-old is now under probation and ordered to have “no contact with anyone under the age of 18.”
Caleb has also been ordered to stay in Illinois until a court date in January, Radar reported.
Despite the shocking allegations against Caleb, the Duggars are unfazed by the drama, a source claimed to Radar. “The Duggars of all people know what it’s like to be reamed by the media. To them it’s just another day and another story,” the insider told the site.
Because of their own son Josh’s molestation scandal, which made headlines in 2015, the insider claims the Duggars haven’t been quick to condemn Caleb. “The Duggars are not judgmental people. They know because of Josh how easy it is to make a mistake,” the source explained.
