An officer at the Washington County Detention Center, where Duggar is currently being held, tells RadarOnline.com that no member of the ex-TLC personality's famous family will be eligible to see Duggar. 

But it's not because of the serious charges brought against the 33-year-old. RadarOnline.com has learned the Washington County Detention Center has closed down their visitation for all inmates due to strict Covid restrictions.

Days prior to his arrest, his pregnant wife Anna Duggar fiercely defended her husband calling him a "diligent worker" who "provides well" for their large family. She has remained quiet on his arrest. 

In 2015, Duggar was accused of sexually molesting five young girls -- including four of his sisters and a babysitter -- when he was just 14 years old.
