Josh was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison on Wednesday after he was found guilty on child pornography charges.
TV stations KSFM and KNWA reported that the judge in Arkansas sentenced the man to over a year in prison.
According to People and 4029 News, his possession conviction was dropped before he was sentenced for receiving and possession of child pornography.
The maximum sentence of 20 years was pushed for by prosecutors.
The expanding family, helmed by his parents, gained prominence in 2008. The reality show was canceled in 2015 after it was alleged that he had molested some of his sisters and a babysitter. He apologized to his wife for cheating on her and for having a pornography addiction. Counting On ran on the network from 2015 to 2020. He was arrested in April of last year after child pornography images were accessed on a computer at his car dealership. He denied the charges. Authorities testified that the images included the abuse of toddlers. He has maintained that he is innocent, despite denying that he downloaded the images. A judge denied a request for a new trial before sentencing. The conduct for which he has been convicted, along with the conduct for which he has been accused of molesting, makes clear that he has a deep-seated, pervasive, and violent sexual interest.
