Supreme Court Denies Josh Duggar's Appeal in Child Pornography Case

Former reality TV star's conviction and 12-year prison sentence upheld despite claims of alternative perpetrator.

  • Josh Duggar was convicted in 2021 for receiving and possessing child pornography, leading to a 12.5-year sentence.
  • The Supreme Court's decision follows previous rejections by lower courts, which found no merit in Duggar's defense.
  • Duggar's legal team argued that a former employee with a prior sex offense conviction could have been responsible.
  • The case has drawn significant attention due to Duggar's history of sexual misconduct and his family's public profile.
  • Duggar will remain in prison until at least 2032 and will face 20 years of supervised release upon completion of his sentence.
