Josh Duggar has filed an appeal with an Arkansas court after being sentenced to more than 12 years in prison in his child pornography case last month, Us Weekly can confirm.
“Duggar respectfully provides notice of his intent to evaluate and pursue any and all meritorious arguments in his appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit,” the court document reads, which was submitted on Friday, June 3 — two weeks after the 34-year-old’s judgement of conviction was entered into record.
Duggar, who is currently incarcerated at Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was convicted of two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography in December 2021 after he was arrested in April of that year.
The father of seven was sentenced on May 25 to 151 months in prison, which is roughly 12.5 years. He will also be assigned 20 years of supervised release once his jail time is complete.
According to Friday’s appeal, the former TLC star is inquiring about one count of receiving child pornography. “Count Two [of possessing child pornography] was dismissed by the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas on May 25, 2022,” the filing reads.
“This Notice is being filed by Duggar’s trial counsel, Justin K. Gelfand, Ian. T. Murphy, and Travis W. Story … on Duggar’s behalf and pursuant to Duggar’s request,” Duggar’s attorneys stated adding they “intend to represent Duggar on appeal.”
The former TV personality’s legal team previously announced their plans to appeal the sentencing last month. “We’ll immediately file the notice of appeal within the next 14 days, as required by law,” one of Duggar’s lawyers told reporters outside of the Arkansas courthouse following the sentencing
