Duggar family mentor Bill Gothard was slapped with a $500,000 sex abuse lawsuit earlier this week— and the allegations are worse than any of the Christian minister’s followers could have ever imagined.
According to Illinois’ DuPage County Circuit Court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, ten women have accused the Institute in Basic Life Principles founder, 81, of sexually molesting, harassing, and even raping girls under the age of 18.
