Disgraced reality star Josh Duggar was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison in May 2022 after being found guilty of child pornography charges stemming from his April 2021 arrest.

The eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar “allegedly used the internet to download child sexual abuse material,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Arkansas shared in a press release. “Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, in May 2019.”

An Arkansas jury found the former 19 Kids and Counting star guilty of one count of receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography on December 9, 2021, following a nine-day trial. The latter charge was dropped at Duggar’s sentencing trial on May 25, 2022.
