'Duck Dynasty' Star Reveals Molestation Scandal In New Book; Details Revealed!

A new "Duck Dynasty" scandal has surfaced involving the series' star Jep Robertson.

Being the youngest brother of the siblings in the reality show, Jep shared that he was molested when he was younger. The 37-year-old opened up about the incident in his new book, "The Good, the Bad, and the Grace of God: What Honesty and Pain Taught Us About Faith, Family and Forgiveness."

In the book, which Jep co-wrote with his wife, Jessica, he revealed that he was molested when he was a young boy by an older girl

"I was 6 and it was on a school bus and it was an older girl," Jep told E.T. in an exclusive interview. "Back then the high school students would ride on the same bus as the grade school."

"There was this girl there that was just real mean...I don't know, but it was a lot of things took place -- scary stuff," he added. "It was tough."

"An older girl started sitting next to me," Jep revealed to E.T. "She seemed sweet at first. She'd come sit beside me, like a motherly figure almost."

"After a while the girl started doing strange things," he continued. "She'd take my hands and push them up under her shirt and tell me I was tickling her."

"Then she started making me pull down my pants," he said. "It was awkward. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew something wasn't right."

Eventually, the reality star found some purpose to what happened to him that became the "Duck Dynasty" scandal. "I was really scared of girls and just women in general, but I think God had a plan for that," he explained. "I know it sounds weird but it's helped me now that I have a bunch of girls. I think it helps us really communicate with them on what's right and what's wrong -- where you should be touched or not be touched."

Jep also said that he could relate to the struggle of the other family reality TV stars, the Duggars of "19 Kids And Counting." Josh Duggar has recently been revealed to have molested underage girls.

"I think we as a family just stuck together and prayed a lot," says Jep. "At some point I think you got to get a tough skin and no matter what anybody says about you, you just got to be like, 'We're just going to keep doing what we do.'"
