Duggar argued he "has no criminal convictions, and has known about this federal criminal investigation since November 2019 when Homeland Security Investigations executed a search of Duggar’s prior workplace."

He also stated he cooperated with the U.S. Attorney's Office and kept in open contact with them regarding the probe.

But Duggar's best excuse was that he's too famous to fly under the RadarOnline.com undetected.

In the documents, Duggar said he's not a flight risk because he "has a widely-recognizable face and has spent the majority of his life in the public spotlight — making any concern that he is a risk of flight all the more unwarranted." 

Duggar was arrested last week on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.

If found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
