#The duggars family secret free
Prosecutors have two reasons for believing the court should allow them to admit Duggar's 2015 statements: first, that they are either a free admission against self-interest or a statement of motive and second, that they are necessary to explain some of the other physical evidence to be presented at trial. Several days after the statement, the family told the media that Duggar was in a rehabilitation program, though they did not specify for what. (He was never charged, though two of his sisters later revealed that they were among the children allegedly victimized by him.)Īccording to CNN, the reference to pornography in the statement was later redacted. The latter part was an apparent reference to the release by In Touch of a heavily redacted police report earlier that year that alleged Duggar had committed acts of child molestation as a teen against five girls. "I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust," it continued. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife."
The original statement, made on Facebook in August 2015 after his profile on the extramarital affair site Ashley Madison was leaked, said in part: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever.

In a new motion in the case, prosecutors argue that Duggar's 2015 statements on social media addressing what he then admitted was his long-term, prolific use of (what was then believed to be legal, adult) pornography should be allowed at his trial on the child pornography charges. Josh Duggar, 33, one of the now-grown children who appeared on the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting" who later worked as a lobbyist for the conservative Family Research Council's political action arm while the show was on the air, was arrested in April 20201 on one federal felony charge of receiving child pornography and one federal felony charge of possessing child pornography. A former reality star who took to social media to address allegations of extramarital affairs may see those statements used against him at his federal child pornography trial.
