-== Sexual abuse ==
-In a June 2015 interview on ''[[The Kelly File]]'', Seewald identified herself as one of the girls sexually abused by her oldest brother, [[Josh Duggar]], when he was a teenager.  She described the abuse as “mild inappropriate touching,” saying it occurred while she was sleeping and fully clothed. Seewald further stated she became aware of the abuse after her parents told her what had occurred following her brother's confession. While Seewald described the abuse as “very wrong,” she decried those referring to her brother as a "child molester" or a "pedophile" or a "rapist", saying, “that is so overboard, and a lie, really.” Regarding the police reports describing the abuse while she was a minor being released to the media, Seewald said, “the system that was set up to protect kids...it's greatly failed.” <ref>{{cite news|title=Exclusive: Duggar sisters want to 'set the record straight'|url=http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2015/06/05/exclusive-duggar-sisters-want-to-set-record-straight/|access-date=June 9, 2015|publisher=Fox News|date=June 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150608162928/http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2015/06/05/exclusive-duggar-sisters-want-to-set-record-straight/|archive-date=June 8, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| author =Caitlin Keating| title =Jill Dillard Speaks Out: Jessa and I 'Are Victims' of Molestation| newspaper =[[People Magazine]]| date =June 3, 2015| url =http://www.people.com/article/jill-jessa-duggar-interview-molestation-brother-josh-fox-news-we-are-victims| access-date =June 4, 2015| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150605021008/http://www.people.com/article/jill-jessa-duggar-interview-molestation-brother-josh-fox-news-we-are-victims| archive-date =June 5, 2015| url-status =live| df =mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| author =Abby Ohlheiser| title =Josh Duggar molested four of his sisters and a babysitter, parents tell Fox News| newspaper =[[Washington Post]] blog| date =June 3, 2015| url =https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/06/03/what-to-expect-from-the-fox-news-interview-with-josh-duggars-parents/| access-date =June 4, 2015| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150604010155/http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/06/03/what-to-expect-from-the-fox-news-interview-with-josh-duggars-parents/| archive-date =June 4, 2015| url-status =live| df =mdy-all}}</ref>
