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, Breaking Celebrity News 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 Breaking Celebrity News.
Meanwhile, as Breaking Celebrity News 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.
