A federal judge will allow videos found on electronic devices used by Josh Duggar to be used as evidence in his child pornography case.
Duggar, who appeared on the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting" with his parents and siblings, was charged with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography earlier this year. The 33-year-old faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 if convicted on each count.
Duggar's attorneys filed a motion to suppress video evidence found on his devices, arguing the case had become "stale" since so much time had passed between the time federal agents downloaded the files and the time they obtained a search warrant, the Associated Press reports.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks said the motion isn't warranted and that courts, on numerous occasions, have found that evidence in child pornography cases doesn't become stale, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Even though time has elapsed between the downloading of the files and the search warrant, Brooks said the investigators did not take too long to review the electronic devices. He said these searches are complicated and can take a while.
According to court documents, in May 2019, Duggar allegedly used the internet to download child pornography, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12.
In 2015, In Touch magazine published a 2006 police report that claimed Duggar sexually molested five girls as far back as 2002. The incidents were not reported to police until 2006 and authorities could not pursue charges because the statute of limitations had passed.

Perhaps they are aficionados.
Both Hunter and Josh had political connections. Don’t believe me? Look at every Republican Politician Josh has been pictured with, then tell me why he got away with the crap he did in the past.
Only difference is, this time he’s not that politically connected, ie his dad is not President.
Then again, they may be busting Josh to get other other “big fish” if you know what I mean.
You are correct, dragonblustar; those in the field are only allowed to work a set amount of time and then rotated out for a bit. To get a ‘reset,’ of sorts, I would presume.
Imagine the horror they carry in their minds. And the the frustration of knowing only a tiny bit are caught and the elites never get punished.
It’s like the guys/gals in the POW camps the military goes through......
The guys/gals in the camps get rotated out because it has an effect on the mind, being the ‘bad’ person all the time.
Seeing terrible things must be the same way, especially on the human spirit.
Nope. Don’t know the guy. Being skeptical doesn’t close me to other evidence. If porn on his equipment is the only thing they have against him then I would believe that there is no credible evidence of anything. Porn-on-the-laptop is too often a charge for political reasons. It is so easily placed that it should not be admitted as evidence in a court of law.
So you believe that porn found on a man’s cell phone is sufficient to righteously put the man in prison without any other evidence? I said I don’t put credence in that as the only evidence of a man’s criminal proclivity and you took offence. I know a few people like that way out there on the left. Argue by indignation.
Enough of your hypothetical bs. This thread is about that sick fck Josh Duggar. Be gone troll.
