Video of former reality TV star/accused sexual predator Josh Duggar inside an Arkansas jail has hit the internet.
The 33-year-old antigay activist was arrested last Thursday by federal agents on child pornography charges. He pleaded not guilty on Friday to one count each of receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

The pornography was reportedly obtained when Homeland Security raided his used car dealership in Springdale, Arkansas back in 2019 and is said to feature children under the age of 12 being abused.
Duggar’s arrest came just after his wife, Anna, announced she was pregnant with their seventh child.
Now, CCTV footage from inside the jail where Duggar is being held has leaked. It shows him handcuffed and dressed in a white sweater, dark pants, and black sneakers and being escorted by a group of law-enforcement officials.
Allegations of sexual misconduct with minors first surfaced around Duggar in 2015. Reports said that in 2006, he fondled several young girls, including two of his sisters, and that his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, tried to cover it up.
Duggar later admitted to the molestations but claimed God had forgiven him so it was all OK now. He again claimed to have God’s forgiveness after he was caught cheating on his wife by keeping an Ashley Madison profile paid for with his grandmother’s credit card.
As a result of Duggar’s scandals, TLC canceled the family’s show 19 Kids and Counting and Duggar lost his job with the antigay hate group Family Research Council. Throughout the show’s run, and through his work with FRC, he frequently denounced the “homosexual lifestyle” and voiced opposition to LGBTQ rights.
Duggar is currently being held without bond inside Washington County Jail. His trial is scheduled to begin on July 6. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Boring. Now show me the one where he is raped and beaten while in general population.

33, and already father to 7 kids…? Good lord, his poor, brainwashed wife…
Hopefully, he stays in prison for a LONG time and she and her brood gets free of the cult, now that their pedo patriarch is gone…
Also, why is it that nearly EVERY cult leader/religious fundamentalist patriarch turns out to be a pedophile…? It’s almost like they think that since the Bible says nothing against molesting kids, and features several instances of child brides and ‘holy’ rape, God must approve of them plucking underripe fruit and dominating them beyond hope of rescue…

If she does leave him she’ll just find another duplicate of him.

HIS parents will never allow her to dump him. Neither will HER parents. She should have dumped him back when he was first caught molesting his sisters and they only had two or three kids. Now she’s about to have the seventh. She’s is stuck with this child sex predator for the rest of her life. I feel sorry for her daughters.

I’m so sick of hearing about his “poor wife”. We all know she’s as hateful towards us as this guy is so that ugly wife of his gets no sympathy from me. You reap what you sow. And the religious right aka GQP/KKK are all criminals

Complete sicko.

How is this LGBTQ+ related?

He worked for Family Research Council which is a gay hate group. He condemns glbt people while being a closet perv and a sister diddler so hypocrisy. He is an active voice for a belief system that enslaves women and wants our rights taken away. So why not.

Here I’ll answer it again for you since you ask the same question whenever Josh Dugger comes up.
—The shithead has made a career out of working against gay rights. First working for the FRC and then working to get a local law passed against gay couples. Not to mention his buddies being well known right wingers.
All this while holding the virtue of concern for children. If he didn’t put himself there then no one would care.

Remember, Google is your friend. So is a history lesson. I only hope the first two comments are helpful for you.

Rot in jail, pedo. I hope you get bought for a pack of cigarettes and have to be prison wife to someone who smells like Doritos.

Doesn’t this usually happen with these hateful religious people they end up being the worst kind of human beings. Child protective services better check on his kids to see if he’s molested them.
