Another reality star has been accused of sexually abusing a child.
But unlike Josh Duggar, this one is locked up for his alleged crimes.
Former 16 & Pregnant star Zakariah Hegab, 20, is in a Texas jail on charges including aggravated sexual assault against a child, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Hegab, who fathered 16 & Pregnant season 3 mom Kianna Randall’s son Kay-Den Elijah, now 4, was arrested last August, and is currently in custody at Tarrant County Greenbay Unit, Texas documents state.
His bail is set for a whopping $40,000.
According to Texas law, sexual assault is often considered aggravated if the minor is younger than 14 years old.
Since the victim is a child, all other details related to the case are sealed, a court clerk tells RadarOnline.com.
Meanwhile, as RadarOnline.com reported, Josh Duggar, 27, confessed to fondling five female minors, including little sisters Jill, 23, and Jessa, 22, when he was a teen.

Despite admitting his misdeeds, the disgraced Duggar walked away punishment-free because state trooper Joseph Hutchens failed to report the confession to his superiors.
When Duggar was investigated three years later following a new anonymous tip to a child abuse hotline, the statute of limitations had run out.
