Josh Duggar asks court to release him on bail
Former reality TV personality, Josh Duggar, who was arrested on child pornography charges last week, has requested the court to release him “on bail subject to a combination of conditions of release that will reasonably assure his appearance at trial and the safety of the community or any other person” according to a bond motion obtained by People.com. The motion also states, “Duggar has a widely-recognizable face and has spent the majority of his life in the public spotlight—making any concern that he is a risk of flight all the more unwarranted,” the motion says.”
In court documents filed, the 33-year-old argued that he is “neither a risk of flight nor a danger to the community” and should be allowed to return home to his pregnant wife, Anna Duggar, and their six kids or to a thirdparty custodian with no minor children.
He also claimed that he has cooperated with the investigation since November 2019 when his office was searched and turned himself in when he was asked.
