Josh Duggar Child Porn Images Shock Investigators


Last week Josh Duggar, from the ultra conservative Christian reality TV show '19 Kids and Counting', was arrested and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography after a raid on his Springdale, AK car dealership [click here if you missed that]. 

Homeland Security agents who conducted the raids say Josh's case contained some of the worst images they've ever seen... 

A Homeland Security agent delivered disturbing testimony at Josh Duggar’s detention hearing on Wednesday. Special Agent Gerald Faulkner claimed for the prosecution that on three consecutive days in May 2019, Duggar downloaded files depicting child sex abuse. Faulkner said the alleged images in one file were among “the top five of the worst of the worst that I’ve ever had to examine” and allegedly included children younger than 12. Duggar was arrested on April 29 and charged with one count each of receiving and possessing child pornography. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment the following day and faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

Josh has been granted bail and must wear an ankle monitor and stay in a separate house from his wife and six children. He may not have access to guns or the Internet and can only visit his children with his wife present.
