Joshua James Duggar, the 33-year-old former star of the popular reality TV show 19 Kids And Counting, appeared in federal court on Friday (April 30) to face criminal charges that he received and possessed child pornography, the US Justice Department said.
A spokesman for the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Arkansas confirmed that Duggar made his initial appearance in federal court and pleaded not guilty to the charges, which allege he obtained the sexually explicit material sometime between May 14 and May 16 of 2019.
