Supreme Court rejects Josh Duggar's appeal

 June 25, 2024

On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from former reality television star Josh Duggar, who was convicted of downloading child sexual abuse images.

Duggar was a big part of the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting with the rest of his large family until molestation accusations against him canceled the series.

Hey, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar had 19 kids running around, you're not going to be perfect on all of them. Some of them are going to make mistakes.

It just so happens that one of the Duggar's kid's mistakes was downloading disgusting and illegal content after he knew eyes were already on him after prior accusations.

Josh's celebrity status made the charges VERY hard to sweep under the rug.

There's no confusion about whether Duggar thought he may have been looking at sexual images of consenting adults because investigators already have testified that the images on Duggar's computer depicted "the sexual abuse of children, including toddlers."

The images were reportedly downloaded in 2019 onto a computer at a car dealership owned by Duggar.

Dugger was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison as a result.

As a result of the Supreme Court's recent decision, he will be staying behind bars for quite a while.
