Government Accuses Josh Duggar Of Using Same Password To Access Child Porn As He Did For His Instagram
Josh Duggar reportedly used the same password to access disgusting images of children as he did to log onto his family Instagram account.
According to a newly unsealed court transcript obtained by RadarOnline.com, prosecutors went hard on Duggar during his May bond hearing.
As the former TLC star was pleading for release, the government was making the case to keep him locked up.
During the hearing, the investigators laid out the evidence they had against Duggar.
They explained they found child pornography on his work computer at his car lot. The material was downloaded via a peer-to-peer program and included children the age of 12 and as young as a toddler.
The government said the pornography was accessed on days that Duggar was at the lot. They explained he was using a program that hide his activity and downloads from view on the computer.
The prosecutor said, “All of those things go to show what Mr. Duggar was doing and the links he was going to in order to conceal his activity.” One investigator said what they found on Duggar’s computer was the worst they have ever seen.
The password on the computer matched the password that Duggar used on his other accounts including his bank account and family Instagram account.

They said, “That was the password that Josh Duggar had been using for years, and it goes to show that he is the person behind” the secret program.
The prosecutor told the court, “That was the password that Josh Duggar had been using for years, and it goes to show that he is the person behind the partition, behind downloading the child pornography.”
One lawyer representing the government said, "We know he is capable of hands-on offenses because he has engaged in them in the past, and we know that the child pornography that Mr. Duggar was looking at involves the sexual abuse of toddlers and young children. He has a history, a history dating back 20 years, that shows his sexual attraction to children and the deviousness of his activity."
Duggar's team argued that the material was accessed on a computer that could have been used by multiple individuals. The government scoffed at the suggestion.
The judge ended up deciding to allow Duggar out on bond. He was released into the custody of his parent's church friends. He is not allowed to be around any minor children or his own children without permission from his wife Anna.
His trial is set to begin later this year.
