Just as I told you two days ago, and was confirmed today by a court filing, the case against the pedophile/child molesting/child p.o.r.n. loving reality star is falling apart.

Josh Duggar

Josh Duggar’s defense team is trying to shift blame onto one of his employees who admitted to watching porn on the job

Josh Duggar’s defense team argued in a new court filing that the child porn case against their client should be tossed.

They said federal agents failed to preserve cellphone evidence from one of Duggar’s employees.

Investigators have said they searched the employee’s phone, but found no child pornography.

In their latest effort to get Josh Duggar’s child pornography case tossed out, the former reality-TV star’s defense team suggested that authorities should have looked into a different person of interest: one of Duggar’s employees.

Duggar, 33, has been accused of receiving and possessing child pornography at the IP address linked to his used car dealership in Arkansas.

Duggar has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyers complained in an August 20 motion that federal agents “failed to preserve any evidence whatsoever” from the devices of three other people who had access to the wireless internet at Duggar’s dealership.

Duggar’s team sought to cast blame on a person identified in court documents as Witness #1. Federal agents interviewed Witness #1 in December 2019, roughly one month after authorities first executed a search warrant at the dealership.

According to court documents, federal agents originally designated Witness #1 a “person of interest to the investigation.”

Witness #1 told the investigators that he worked at Duggar’s dealership, and had even stayed there overnight “without Duggar’s knowledge or permission,” Duggar’s lawyers said.

Witness #1 also “admitted to viewing adult pornography through websites he accessed through the internet on his cellular phone,” though he denied viewing child pornography, according to the court filing. – Source
