Josh Duggar
Joshua James Duggar is an American reality TV star and convicted sex offender. He first rose to fame alongside his parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, and his 18 younger siblings on the reality TV show
19 Kids and Counting
, which followed the fundamentalist Christian family's daily lives. In May 2015, Duggar apologized for "wrongdoing" after a 2006 police report revealed that he had been investigated as a teen for inappropriately touching five underage girls. His sisters Jill, 29, and Jessa, 28, subsequently
stepped forward as two of the victims.
In August 2015,
Gawker
reported that the eldest Duggar son appeared to have had active accounts on
Ashley Madison
, a website created to facilitate cheating on your spouse. He confessed to cheating on his wife Anna Duggar and having a pornography addiction. In April 2021, Duggar was arrested on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography. He was found guilty on two charges for knowingly obtaining and owning the material in December 2021.
