Josh Duggar News: Law Enforcement Allegedly Tried Downloading Illegal Files Off Devices 169 Times for 17 Hours
Showbiz Cheatsheet ^ | October 2, 2021 | Lauren Weiler

As the trial date looms, Duggar family followers will likely hear plenty more Josh Duggar news. More recently, a Reddit user posted court documents from his defense team. Duggar’s defense is in support of a motion to suppress evidence. And one of the documents explains what happened when the police attempted to download all of the files.

According to the documents, the government used the program Torrential Downpour. The program identifies child sexual abuse content distributed through file-sharing networks. The document claims law enforcement spent “17 hours, attempting 169 times, to download only 13 of the 66 pieces that comprise only a small fraction of the ‘marissa.zip’ file that was allegedly stored on a shared computer located in a business six months before the government applied for a search warrant.”

Duggar’s defense team tried to fight this, though. They explained if Duggar offered these files to strangers, Torrential Downpour would’ve downloaded the entire file “within minutes.” The defense alleged the files were not “offered to strangers.” Additionally, they stated law enforcement needed a warrant to conduct the “prolonged tracking.”

With the current Josh Duggar news, what’s the next step for the defense? According to the court documents, they want a Franks Hearing. A Franks Hearing involves the court determining if “one of the police officers involved in the case lied to obtain a search warrant,” Hills At Law, P.C., explains.

that boy is in a heap of trouble.

It sounds like there are some legal distinctions, between having child pornography, and being someone who is selling or distributing it. And that is part of the legal defense, is what it sounds like.

And this whole thing could fall apart, if there are legal rulings that they got the search warrant through improper procedures.

I’m reading the court docs now

“And this whole thing could fall apart, if there are legal rulings that they got the search warrant through improper procedures.”

Thing about it is...does not matter if Josh was buying or selling it’s still illegal to download and own which it would appear he was so what is going to be the problem? Sensors were tipped off because he was viewing it.

Just another card carrying pedo! Where in the world do people learn and acquire this evil sickness?

I think doctors need to prescribe him a couple of pit bulls for a permanent cure.

The image the family portrayed on TV was that of a large loving Christian family. I’m sure there was selective editing of the filmed footage to portray them in a certain manner. I’m sure Jim Bob had veto power over certain scenes being on TV.

Of course the cameras weren’t running 24/7, and of course things happened which we in TV land never knew about.

I think he reached up his sister’s dresses when he was 12 or 13, if I recall correctly? I’m thinking they never nipped this in the bud when he was a boy.

And law enforcement has a computer program to confirm it. I wonder who programed it?

I’m not sure you can nip something lie that in the bud. One things for sure is that he needed help before he allegedly downloaded child porn and didn’t seek help before.

He likely is.

Additionally, the FBI is corrupt and crooked and at this point, everything they say I take with a grain of salt.

Duggar seems like a kiddy porn perv, seems like he's had issues in the past, but I'm not so certain anymore than everyone charged with such crimes is equally guilty. There's no better way to thoroughly destroy someone than to hem them up in a child porn scandal.

Applying for a search warrant six months after the search should get the case dismissed.

Is everyone who used the computer a suspect too?

TLC has become a modern version of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, just one freak show after another.

Yes he did molest 4 sisters and a babysitter when he was 13. He also was on Ashley Madison after married to Anna and was in strip bars and paying women for sex.

He also got addicted to legal porn. I guess it’s a slippery slope to child porn. He had everything going for him and likely ruined his life.

I don’t know if that’s possible with someone like Josh Duggar. He downloaded and watched the rape of an 18 month old child while hung on a hook. That’s deep, demonic evil. He needs executing. And that dumb wife of his is pregnant with their 7th kid.
