Josh Duggar has been found guilty in his child pornography trial, TMZ is reporting.
The 19 Kids and Counting reality TV star was charged with 2 counts of receiving and possessing child pornography, which prosecutors say included children under 12. He was convicted on both counts and the jury took around 7 hours to deliberate.
The evidence used against him was seized from a computer FBI agents found in his office at the Arkansas car dealership where he worked.
From Fox 24:
The defense’s witnesses were Digital Forensics expert Michele Bush and Daniel Wilcox, a former Homeland Security Investigations task force member and Rogers Police Department narcotics officer.
The prosecution called ten witnesses, including Jim and Bobye Holt, who said they were friends with the Duggar family.
Bobye Holt said during her testimony that Josh confessed to her about molesting young girls when he was a teenager.
Judge Timothy Brooks said that Duggar’s sentencing will take place in about four months. Duggar was immediately taken into custody after the verdict was announced. He’s faces 20 years in prison.
