Josh Duggar

So what exactly does that mean? If the DHS didn't apply restrictions to him being at home (which I assume is the case cuz he's been at home...?) does that mean they felt he was no longer a risk or something?

I suspect this was simply the Duggars (Josh) stating that there was no conclusive evidence, no formal charges, or that he was simply underage at the time of the events. Therefore they wanted the record expunged/sealed. The higher the profile of the defendant the more likely you are to see legal wrangling over the records. I don't know for sure, but most likely this is just Arkansas specific process to secure the official record. Doesn't mean he did it or didn't do it, just means he was embarrassed by the record. The finding/sealing of the record was likely a forgone conclusion considering his age at the time of the events (even with an admission of guilt). Doesn't necessarily indicate a disposition of risk.
