Josh Duggar's legal team attempted to appeal his conviction following his 2021 child pornography trial
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Tuesday, October 10, indicate that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has upheld Duggar's conviction following his 2021 trial. A mandate was issued on Thursday, October 5, per the paperwork.
Duggar was found guilty of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material in December 2021, eight months after his arrest. Throughout his highly publicized trial, he was supported by wife Anna Duggar, with whom he shares seven children. She later attended his sentencing in May 2022, where he was ordered to serve 151 months in prison.
'That's been one of the hardest things,' she exclusively told Us. 'It is difficult to even discuss it. What I will say is that I am grateful for the justice system. I'm grateful that justice is being served with my brother.' Josh previously had a brush with the law in 2015 when he was accused of molesting multiple girls as a teen — some of whom were his sisters. That same year, he confessed to cheating on Anna after a data leak from Ashley Madison, a website that catered to people looking for extramarital affairs.
