Josh Duggar's 12.5-year prison sentence extended after cellphone reportedly found in his lockup

[tenderfoot]

Disgraced reality TV star Josh Duggar had his 12 1/2-year sentence extended by almost two months after authorities reportedly found he had a contraband cellphone.

In December 2021, a federal jury in Arkansas found Duggar guilty of charges of receiving and possessing child pornography, depicting the sexual abuse of victims “as young as toddlers.” Months later, U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks sentenced Duggar to more than a dozen years behind bars. He’s serving his sentence at a low-security prison in Seagoville, Texas.

Prosecutors say that Duggar went to great lengths to evade detention. His work computer had an anti-porn software called “Covenant Eyes,” which he said he installed after a dump of data hacked from the Ashley Madison website revealed that he had been pursuing extramarital affairs. The software would have alerted his wife Anna Duggar if he accessed pornography, legal or otherwise.

Duggar subverted this system by installing a Linux partition on the computer and then accessed videos and images depicting the sexual abuse of children through multiple levels of encryption. Prosecutors say that he used the Tor Browser to disguise his web-surfing and downloaded illicit materials using BitTorrent.

Federal prison records show that his release date has been scheduled for Oct. 2, 2032. His release previously had been scheduled for Aug. 12, 2032, Fox News reported.

No more visitations and only 1 short phone call per month.

7. He's lucky he's in solitary confinement instead of in the

general population, other inmates hate crimes having to do with children. Duggar would likely end up with a well deserved beat down.

4. Move his sorry ass to a medium security facility.

Let him get the whole prison experience.

5. I recently read that the child porn he had accessed was so bad it was considered

an urban myth until a few years ago. It was so violent and so deranged, people didn't believe it actually existed. And he watched it for entertainment.

This guy should never get out.
