Josh Duggar’s Reality TV Career and Political Involvement

At 17, Josh Duggar began appearing on reality shows that featured his family. He became a regular on the TLC series “19 Kids and Counting” in 2008, which followed the lives of the growing Duggar family. Josh’s wedding day was highlighted in an episode in 2009, emphasizing that he waited until marriage to kiss his bride. He also appeared on the show with his wife Anna when they began having children.

Aside from his television career, Josh became involved in politics. He worked as a part-time political consultant in 2007 and worked on the Republican presidential primary campaign of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in 2008. From 2013 to 2015, he was the executive director of FRC Action, a political action and lobbying organization sponsored by the Family Research Council. He campaigned for Senate candidates in Kansas, Mississippi, and Virginia leading up to the 2014 midterm elections. His advocacy for conservative values, including opposition to abortion, divorce, and gay marriage, earned him the label of “anti-gay activist” from pro-LGBT rights organization GLAAD.

Josh Duggar’s Controversies and Legal Troubles

Josh Duggar, a former reality TV star, has been embroiled in several controversies and legal troubles in recent years.

In 2015, it was revealed that Duggar had been accused of sexual misconduct towards minors as early as 2006. An investigation by the Springdale police revealed that there had been incidents of sexual misconduct in 2002 and 2003 but no report had been made and the statute of limitations on these charges had run out. The 2002 and 2003 incidents remained largely unknown to the public until the magazine “In Touch Weekly” released a story that provided details about the police reports related to the incidents. Duggar resigned from his position at FRC Action and the reality TV show “19 Kids and Counting” was cancelled due to the controversy.

Around the same time the story broke, the Ashley Madison data breach also occurred. This breach revealed that Duggar had paid for two Ashley Madison subscriptions. Duggar released a statement in which he admitted to watching pornography and being unfaithful to his wife, actions which he deemed to be hypocritical in his apology.

In April of 2021, Duggar was arrested on federal charges of receiving and possessing child pornography. His trial began in November of 2021 and revealed that Duggar had partitioned the hard drive on his computer into two sections: one on which Windows was installed which he used for work and one on which Linux was installed which he used to download and share child pornography. In December of 2021, Duggar was found guilty of receiving and possessing child pornography and subsequently sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison. Following his release, he will need to complete 20 years of supervised release during which time he must register as a sex offender and can have no unsupervised contact with minors.
