Former reality television star Josh Duggar, of “19 Kids and Counting,” was arrested by federal agents on child pornography charges. According to court documents, Josh Duggar “knowingly received child pornography” in May 2019. He also “knowingly possessed child pornography” during the same months by using the Internet to “download child sexual abuse material.”
Duggar entered into a rehabilitation center in 2015, after he confessed to inappropriately touching his younger sisters when he was a teenager. He was also accused of creating a private, paid Ashley Madison account, a social site made for people wanting to cheat on their significant other. He reportedly met up with at least one person he chatted with via his Ashley Madison account and paid her for sex.
He later admitted to his infidelity and confessed he had a porn addiction problem. Duggar pleaded not guilty to charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
