Josh Duggar will be sentenced on Wednesday in his child pornography case. A judge previously denied a long shot request on Tuesday by Duggar’s attorneys for a new trial on child pornography charges just hours before the former reality star is set to be sentenced.
The "19 Kids and Counting" alum, 34, 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.
Duggar has been held at the Washington County Detention Center in his home state ever since. Duggar's attorneys released a statement to Fox News Digital at the time, saying they intend to appeal the verdict. "We appreciate the jury’s lengthy deliberations, we respect the jury’s verdict, and we intend to appeal," defense attorneys Justin Gelfand, Ian Murphy, and Travis Story said in December.
