Josh Duggar trial to begin over child pornography charges
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jury selection was set to begin Tuesday in former reality TV star Josh Duggar’s trial over federal child pornography charges.
Duggar, who appeared in TLC’S “19 Kids and Counting,” was charged in April with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography.
A federal Homeland Security agent in May testified that pornographic images depicting the sexual abuse of children, including toddlers, had been downloaded in May 2019 by a computer at a car dealership that Duggar owned.
Duggar, 33, faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 on each count if convicted.
