Josh Duggar Files New Appeal Blaming Coworker

The New York Post reports:

Josh Duggar is blaming his former co-worker for his crimes in a new appeal filed in his child pornography case.

The disgraced “19 Kids and Counting” star filed the appeal in an Arkansas court Monday, claiming that government agents failed to interview or investigate Caleb Williams, who “regularly used the only [computer] that had child pornography on it, was tech savvy” and allegedly sent Duggar a text offering to “watch the lot.”

The documents, obtained by Page Six, also note that Williams, who worked with Duggar at Wholesale Motorcars, is a convicted sex offender.

Duggar, 34, was sentenced on May 25 to 151 months in federal prison, followed by 20 years of supervised release with a host of special conditions attached, after his December 2021 unanimous conviction on a pair of child pornography charges.

The filing says that after federal agents told Duggar that they were executing a federal search warrant, he “took his cell phone out of his pocket and stated he was calling his attorney.”

The brief then states that one of the special agents “physically grabbed the phone out of Duggar’s hand, confiscated it, and stopped Duggar from speaking with counsel.” Duggar’s defense team has maintained his innocence throughout the case.

Child porn sicko Josh Duggar is seen behind bars for the first time, looking scruffy and unkempt, in a picture exclusive. Duggar, 34, has grown a thick beard and let his thinning hair grow out as he gets accustomed to his new life as inmate number 42501-509.

The disgraced reality star sips from a mug and mingles with prisoners in the photo taken inside the Federal Correctional Institute Seagoville, just outside of Dallas. The picture comes as Duggar files an appeal against his conviction for possession and receipt of child porn at his used car lot in Arkansas.
