Josh Duggar is beginning his 12-year federal prison sentence. On Friday, the "19 Kids and Counting" alum was transferred out of the Washington County Detention Center where he’s been held since his conviction in December, FOX 24 reported.

Judge Timothy L. Brooks handed down 151 months to Duggar in May. Josh Duggar was transferred to a federal prison on Friday. (Washington County Sheriff's Office) Duggar was found guilty in December by a federal jury in Arkansas on charges related to the receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

A judge previously denied a long shot request by Duggar’s attorneys for a new trial on child pornography charges just hours before the former reality star was set to be sentenced.
