19 Kids and Counting Star Josh Duggar arrested and charged with 2 felony counts
24Former "19 Kids and Counting" star Josh Duggar has been indicted on charges of receiving and possessing cp.
A federal grand jury in the Western District of Arkansas indicted Duggar, alleging that in 2019, he "knowingly" received images of children under the age of 12. The former TLC star has been charged on two counts pertaining to cp.
According to a press release from the United States Attorney's Office, Duggar could face up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 on each count.
"Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sa of children," the press release said.
The case is being prosecuted in part by national initiative Project Safe Childhood, a program started in 2006 by the Department of Justice to protect children from sa.
Duggar was arrested by the United States Marshals Service according to online government records, and booked into jail Thursday afternoon in Washington County, Arkansas.
Duggar's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar released a joint statement on their family website Friday afternoon following the news of their eldest son's indictment.
"The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious. It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner," they wrote. "We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family."
"We just heard about it yesterday. It is sad," Duggar's sister Jill said.
Duggar's arrest comes less than a week after his wife Anna announced on Instagram that she is pregnant with their seventh child, a baby girl.
In a video posted to Instagram Saturday, the couple stand in a field with their six children running in the background. Duggar opens an umbrella over himself and his wife, dropping pink confetti over them.
