Prosecutors were seeking a maximum sentence for Duggar, whose large family was the focus of TLC's '19 Kids and Counting' reality show.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.Former reality TV star Josh Duggar has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for child pornography.
Duggar’s parents said he had confessed to the fondling and apologized. After the allegations resurfaced in 2015, Duggar apologized publicly for unspecified behavior and resigned as a lobbyist for the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group.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.Josh Duggar, the eldest of the Duggar family's 19 children, first rose to stardom in 2008 on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting.
