During the hearing, investigators presented testimony detaining Duggar's alleged child porn collection. An officer from the Department of Homeland Security said Duggar possessed over 200 images of naked minors and child sex abuse material. The children in the images were as young as 5 years old. 

Duggar pleaded with the court to let him out of prison while he awaits trial. He says he hasn't fled the state despite knowing he was under investigation since November 2019. At the time, federal agents executed a search warrant at Duggar's workplace. The agents claim he asked if they were looking for child pornography. 

The reality star also admitted to knowing a TOR browser was on his computer which allowed access to the dark web.
