JOSH Duggar’s alleged text messages prove he was at a car lot when child sex abuse materials were downloaded.
The ex Counting On star is currently on trial in Fayetteville, Arkansas for child pornography charges stemming from his April 2021 arrest.
While going through various dates in court on Friday, alleged texts from Josh’s phone, as well as photos taken on the device, were shown to take place at the same time that child pornography content was supposedly being downloaded elsewhere.
The alleged texts discussed cars and some included photos from the lot.
A program used in court showed that the location of where the photos were taken was the car dealership.
On May 11, 2019, some texts were sent from Josh’s phone to Joshua Williams, an employee, around 5.59pm, discussing a car.
Photos from the car lot at that time, as well.
On the same day, Linux/Ubuntu was installed on the computer at 5.47pm, according to testimony at the trial.
Josh has been accused of possessing sick images of child pornography, which have been described as some of “the worst of the worst” that authorities had ever seen.
He was charged earlier this year with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography
Josh pleaded not guilty.
The former reality star faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
Some of Josh’s family members have been showing up to support him during the court hearings this week.
In addition to his wife Anna, 33, his brother-in-law Derick Dillard watched from the first row the whole time on Thursday.
Derick is married to Josh’s younger sister Jill, who was included on the potential witness list for the trial.
On Thursday, it was revealed that one file name on Josh’s HP desktop computer is a video of a “three-month-old being sexually abused and tortured.”
The prosecution explained that this computer was associated with Duggar’s name and address.
In a folder that contained 65 thumbnail files, the child pornography was discovered.
