Appeals court upholds Josh Duggar's conviction for downloading child sexual abuse images, rejecting the former reality star's argument that a judge should have suppressed statements he made to investigators.
FILE - This undated photo provided by Washington County, Ark., Detention Center shows Josh Duggar. A federal appeals court on Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, upheld Josh Duggar's conviction for downloading child sexual abuse images, rejecting the former reality television star's argument that a judge should have suppressed statements he made to investigators during the search that found the images.
Duggar's attorneys argued that statements he made to investigators during the search of the dealership should not have been allowed at trial since his attorney wasn't present. Prosecutors said Duggar asked the agents, “‘What is this all about? Has somebody been downloading child pornography?" and that he declined to say whether he had looked at such material online, comments that were later used as evidence in the trial.
Justin Gelfand, an attorney for Duggar, said they disagreed with the court's reasoning and would evaluate all options.
