Josh pleaded not guilty to the charges in April during a court hearing via Zoom, according to People magazine.
“Josh Duggar has been charged in a two-count indictment,” Josh’s attorneys said in a statement at the time, People magazine reported. “He has pled not guilty to both charges and we intend to defend this case aggressively and thoroughly. In this country, no one can stop prosecutors from charging a crime. But when you’re accused, you can fight back in the courtroom — and that is exactly what Josh intends to do.”
Duggar was arrested April 29 on child pornography charges. He was released on bail after his and has been placed with a family close to the Duggar’s, Fox News reported. Duggar is allowed contact with his children, but only if his wife is present, according to the outlet.
Duggar has previously been accused of sexually abusing underage minors, including four of his sisters, but never faced charges, according to Page Six. The reality show about the family was canceled in 2015 after the allegations were made.
