A US cable network has pulled a long running reality TV show following revelations of alleged sexual abuse by one of its members.
The series 19 Kids and Counting on TBS stars a conservative Christian couple and their 19 children.
It has been alleged that the eldest son Josh Duggar molested five underage girls as a teenager.
Duggar has not admitted to the abuse but has apologised for his behaviour, saying he acted "inexcusably".
"I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions," 27-year-old Duggar wrote in a statement on Facebook on Thursday.
"In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."
TBS network said that it was "deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation".
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and victims at this difficult time," the statement said.
Arkansas police said on Friday they had received a court order to destroy records of a nearly decade-old investigation into Josh Duggar. No charges were filed against him.
Police concluded the statute of limitations had passed, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper.
On Thursday Duggar resigned his role with a prominent conservative Christian group amid reports about the allegations.
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who has been supported by Mr Duggar's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, defended the family on his Facebook page on Friday.
"Josh's actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable', but that doesn't mean 'unforgivable'," he wrote.

“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
TOO MUCH RELIGION, NO DOUBT
"On Thursday Duggar resigned his role with a prominent conservative Christian group amid reports about the (sexual molestation) allegations."
Who didn't see this coming down the church aisle? In the footsteps of Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Oral Roberts, etal. it appears Josh Duggar was a christian minister-in-training. Too much pressure to conform early on, I'm guessing. He couldn't handle the TRUTH. Excess kills!
God works in strange and wondrous way. Hallelujah!
