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.
