The latest Duggar pedophile scandal update is quite alarming. It has been reported on Friday, July 31, that "19 Kids and Counting" production editor William Blankinship had disturbing sexual exploitation charges.

According to Radar Online, Blankinship was arrested Oct. 21, 2011 on 10 felony counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a child. Authorities reportedly found a "very disturbing paedophilia collection" inside Blankinship's home in Raleigh.

Blankinship is the highlight of the latest Duggar pedophile scandal update since before his arrest, he had worked on a number of episodes on "19 Kids and Counting." Not only that, he also worked on other shows which involved children such as the former series of Jon and Kate Gosselin called "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

To clear their name, TLC released a statement almost immediately following the arrest of the crew member. TLC wanted out of the latest Duggar pedophile scandal update and they made it clear that the 60-year-old convicted pedophile had no contact with the children he worked with on TLC's shows, according to The Inquisitr.

"Bill Blankinship was employed by Serious Robots, with whom Figure 8 Films subcontract for editing services. Upon learning of the shocking allegations his employment was terminated. At no time was this man ever in the field or in direct contact with any of the talent for any of our productions," according to TLC's statement.

However, now it appears that TLC may have lied, or the network may have had no idea as to Blankinship's whereabouts at the time he was working on shows involving children.

A new report released by Radar Online now raises questions about TLC's claim regarding their involvement in the Duggar pedophile scandal update. It appears Blankinship had come into contact with four of the Duggar girls at some point.

A footage from a 2010 episode titled "Duggars Make a Movie" reportedly showed Duggar kids Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Jana taking a tour of Trailblazer Studios, all while Blankinship was still working in the production studios. There is now more probability that Blankinship is involved in the latest Duggar pedophile scandal update as the Duggar children in that 2010 episode were given the privilege of taking over the day's production obligations.

Blankinship was indicted of all 10 charges of child pornography which he was arrested for in November 2011. He was initially ordered to serve 63 years in prison but the TV executive was reportedly given a plea bargain for which he served only 25 to 39 months behind bars. He also underwent 48 months of closely supervised probation, after which he completed a sex offender programme. He was later registered a sex offender and banned from having one-on-one contact with children under 16, reported Christian Today.

There is still no statement from TLC following this Duggar pedophile scandal update.

As for the Duggar family, their income crashed following the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting," especially as their family reportedly received $45,000 per episode. Recently, it was reported by OK! magazine that the family has asked for donations as an alternative source of income. They have done this on the Duggar Studios YouTube page. As the Duggar family is getting bigger, they have also turned to selling t-shirts that promote Duggar Studios, according to Uproxx.
