Past molestation evidence allowed in Duggar child porn trial

December 1, 2021

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Jurors in former reality TV star Josh Duggar’s trial on child pornography charges can hear evidence that he admitted to molesting four girls nearly 20 years ago, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks rejected a motion by Duggar’s attorneys to prevent the evidence from being heard as his child pornography trial began.

Duggar, who appeared in TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting,” was charged in April with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography.

Prosecutors want the jury to hear testimony from a Duggar family friend who testified in a pre-trial hearing Monday that Duggar told her in 2003 that he molested four girls. But Duggar’s defense attorneys argued Duggar was never charged and that the allegations have no relevance to the child pornography case.

1. his "handmaid" wife

just birthed their 7th child.

A girl.


These "quiverful families" are sick. The oldest daughter is often forced to stay home, never date, never marry, not finish school, so she can run the family because Mom is always pregnant or recovering.

The oldest Duggar daughter is over 30, never has left home, takes care of her parents' babies.
