One month after he was found guilty amid his lengthy court battle, Josh Duggar and his legal team have filed a motion for acquittal.
The 33-year-old was convicted on two counts of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material in December 2021 after being arrested in Arkansas eight months prior. Documents filed on Wednesday, January 19, and obtained by Us Weekly argue that the former TLC personality should be granted a new trial.
“The evidence elicited at trial does not support a conviction on either count — even in the light most favorable to the Government,” the motion reads. “The Government failed to adduce any evidence that Duggar ‘knew that the visual depictions were of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct’ — a necessary element for conviction of each count.”
Duggar’s latest filing claims prosecutors failed to provide “exculpatory evidence” regarding an alleged former employee who “regularly used the desktop computer in the months and weeks leading up to May 2019,” when the political activist is said to have downloaded the inappropriate material that led to his arrest. The motion argues that “law enforcement had failed to meaningfully investigate the possibility that anyone other than Duggar may have committed the crimes charged.”
According to the defense, Duggar’s former colleague Caleb Williams was interviewed weeks before the trial began but was never called to the witness stand. In an email allegedly sent to prosecutors following the interview, Williams claimed he was “completely mistaken” about parts of his testimony.

Josh Duggar has asked a federal judge for a new trial or an acquittal, six weeks after he was convicted of receiving and possessing child pornography.

A jury found Duggar guilty last month on one count each of receiving and possessing child pornography.
