But in 2003 the parents learned about additional incidents of abuse committed by Josh Duggar. He received counseling from the church and also was sent to do physical labor away from home. Then in the same year, Jim Duggar decided to talk to his friend James W. Hutchens who was an Arkansas State Trooper. This was the first time the family decided to share the news with the law enforcement authority. Hutchens gave a stern talk to Duggar and did not further the case. But according to Arkansas law, he has to call Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline when learning of a sexual abuse incident.
On April 29, 2021, the US Marshals arrested Duggar charging him with receiving and possessing child pornography. It was revealed that he got the videos in 2019. All the pornographic videos in Duggar’s possession were said to be the worst of the worst ever examined by the authorities.

After his arrest, Duggar got booked in the Washington County Jail. Then in 2021, he pleaded not guilty and he is going to fight back in the courtroom. But the Judge claimed that if he was going to jail, he has to be in a residence where there must be no minors. Duggar’s children were all under eleven and his wife was carrying his seventh child at that time. So, he was only permitted to see his children in the presence of his wife. If he gets convicted, he could get up to 20 years in federal prison and also up to a $250,000 fine.
