Josh Duggar is attempting to delay sentencing in his child pornography case! According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the 34-year-old asked a judge to push back his April 5, 2022, sentencing for two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography by a month.
Why? The records noted that Duggar asked for the postponement to have more time to “pursue additional information and documentation,” stating: Furthermore, the records indicated that his legal team has “faced some delay in scheduling certain attorney-client privileged meetings by videoconference” due to “certain reasonable COVID-19 precautions” in place at the Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas, where he has been locked up since December.
His attorneys feel they need a “brief continuance” in order to give them more time to plan and collect evidence and documentation to present before his sentencing hearing in court.
According to The Sun, Duggar’s legal team insisted that the request is “not intended to unnecessarily delay or hinder the proceedings.” Related: Josh Duggar Ditched By Family On First Prison Birthday As you know, the 19 Kids and Counting alum, who was found guilty on two charges of child pornography back in December 2021, potentially faces up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines for each count.
