CNN)Former reality TV star Joshua Duggar has been arrested on federal charges related to the possession of child pornography, according to the US Attorney's Office in the Western District of Arkansas. Duggar allegedly downloaded material that depicted the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, the US attorney's office said in a statement. Duggar allegedly possessed the material in May 2019. Duggar, the oldest son of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, whose family was the subject of the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting," faces two charges, the indictment shows -- one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. He faces up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 if convicted, the statement said.
Duggar was arrested in Arkansas Thursday, according to the statement. He appeared in federal court Friday via video conference and pleaded not guilty to both charges.
"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's attorneys Justin Gelfand, Travis W. Story and Greg Payne said in an email to CNN Friday.
Duggar is set to appear in court again on May 5 for a detention hearing. The trial is currently scheduled for July 6, Judge Erin Wiedemann said.

Pleased to say when these names pops up I dont have any idea who these A-holes are
once a pedo always a pedo
Big time reality show on TLC “19 Kids and Counting” or should we say “19 molestations and counting”? Either way, “Poor Little Josh” is the reason the show of “good, God fearing Christians” was canceled.
Yet Jim Bob you must be so proud
two charges, the indictment shows — one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
So how can there be two charges?
If he received it he had to be in possession of it
and if he was in possession he had to have received it???
they were full of it, not God fearing. They covered up the molestation of the younger girls. Shame on those poor excuses of parents.
When is Hunter Biden getting a reality tv show?
“When is Hunter Biden getting a reality tv show?”
I guess He will get one with bill and hillary?
One count of receiving and possessing? Like spam email? I get countless emails from fake women and male enhancements but I don’t open them.
They arrested him on stuff he had 2 years ago...did he still have it or was it sort of a in and out of his system kind of think...like what happens when you open the wrong spam? Need more info...
Those children during their formative years were forced by their “loving” parents to perform in front of a TV camera much of the time. This is not OK; clearly a dysfunctional family.
As soon as my wife heard he was arrested she said “I’ll bet it was kiddy porn.”
When is Hunter Biden getting a reality tv show?

Maybe Hunter and his Arkansas whore can get married and have 19 kids too.
I imagine only Pornhub would show the episodes, but man! Wouldn’t that show be something!
For real I thought it was that used car scam. This actually shocked me, for a second.
HA HA Duggars!
In crime in America today, everything is broken down into pieces, so if they dont get you on one thing, they will prosecute and get the next fraction.
Fo r example, at the post office yoiu are asked to verify that the package that you mail does not contain certain things.
If it does, they may get y ou on mailing one of those certain things, and will have proof that you lied to them.
Once cannot lie to the government.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar posted a statement on their family website about the "very serious accusations" Duggar is facing.
"We appreciate your continued prayers for our family at this time. The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious. It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner. We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family," they said.
Damning with faint praise. Looks like they think he did it.
One count also means there was one pic or video. He should be punished for it, because its disgusting, but uh...Hunter Biden’s laptop, anyone???
Well he got a teaching job so I guess that’s something..but Hunter still wins the biggest prick award for molesting his dead brothers kid
Receipt has to do with sending or receiving an illegal product either through the mail or the internet. It’s a seperate criminal act.
