One of the stars of the hit A&E reality show "Duck Dynasty" recently spoke out regarding his sexual molestation as a child, saying he experienced inappropriate touching by an older student while on a school bus in grade school.

Jep Robertson, one of the stars of "Duck Dynasty," recently revealed his experience with molestation ahead of the release of his new book, "The Good, the Bad, and the Grace of God: What Honesty and Pain Taught Us About Faith, Family, and Forgiveness."

"I was 6 and it was on a school bus and it was an older girl," Jep recently told ET in an interview ahead of the book release. "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. It was tough."

Jep's revelation comes after Josh Duggar of the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting" issued an apology for reportedly sexually molesting four of his younger sisters and one family friend at their home in Arkansas when he was 14.

Josh's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, and two of Josh's sisters, Jill and Jessa, have since spoken out regarding the incident, saying they fully forgive Josh, adding that he was a curious teenager who was interested in the opposite sex.
