Prosecutors are seeking a maximum sentence for Duggar, whose large family was the focus of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” reality show. His lawyers have asked the court in Fayetteville, about 140 miles northwest of Little Rock, to send him to prison for five years.after a Little Rock police detective found child porn files were being shared by a computer traced to Duggar.
Months later, he publicly apologized for cheating on his wife and a pornography addiction, for which he then sought treatment. “This past conduct, when viewed alongside the conduct for which he has been convicted, makes clear that Duggar has a deep-seated, pervasive, and violent sexual interest in children, and a willingness to act on that interest” the court filing said.
Duggar has maintained that he’s innocent and that he intends to appeal, his attorneys wrote in their sentencing memorandum.
