Entangled in the sexual abuse scandal swirling around one of his 10 sons, "19 Kids and Counting" patriarch Jim Bob Duggar pointed out today that less than 6% of his children are child molesters.
Blogging his latest response to reports that his eldest son Josh sexually assaulted a number of girls in violation of his family's strict conservative beliefs, Jim Bob argued that, "One in nineteen really isn't that bad."
"Some studies estimate that up to 7% of the American male population will manifest some form of sexual deviancy involving children during their lifetime," Jim Bob wrote, "So in reality, we're actually below average at just 5.3%"
A number of respondents were quick to clarify for Jim Bob that the percentage of the Duggar clan who are pedophiles would be 10% if he excluded his female offspring, and 14% if he didn't count his sons currently under the age of 14.
Duggar went on to indicate that his family also falls far below the percentage of Americans who have committed murder, 0% compared to 0.1%, a difference of infinity, he noted, as well as those who have engaged in bestiality.
"Never have any of my children had sex with an animal or a member of their own gender," he stated. "Josh might have sinned, but at least it was with girls."
Statistics show that approximately 10% of the world's population is gay.
