Little People, Big World star Jacob Roloff alleges a producer molested him when he was a child

Us Weekly

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 23-year-old Roloff wrote: “It is often much easier to think about things than it is to talk about them, and so this disclosure has been delayed, but through that delay, I have found the fortitude and words. As a child, I after what I realize now was a long grooming process, I was molested by an executive field producer for Little People, Big World." Roloff wrote that he won't provide details of the encounter, but added that he hoped this man is “never allowed around children again.” TLC issued a statement in response Wednesday saying: "TLC was just informed about an alleged encounter that occurred years ago involving a third party connected to the production of Little People, Big World. We are saddened and troubled by this very serious allegation, and TLC will work cooperatively with the authorities. Our main focus remains on supporting the Roloff family during this very difficult time.”
