Josh Duggar was taken in by US Marshalls yesterday, and today we know why. United States Attorney’s Office Western District of Arkansas said, “According to court documents, Joshua James Duggar, 33. allegedly used the Internet to download child sexual abuse material. Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, in May 2019.
“Duggar is charged by indictment with receiving and possessing child pornography. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and fines up to S250,000.00 on each count.”
He is being held without bail, but that might change on May 5th when he has his detention hearing. If he is released on bond, the judge said he cannot stay in a residence with minors. That means he cannot go home to his wife, who is expecting his seventh child. Nor will he be able to stay with his immediate family, who all have minor children.
Duggar pleaded not guilty on all counts in court today. His trial is set for July 6th, according to KNWA.
If only there was a way to know that this might have been in the cards for him. For example, being accused of molesting four of his sisters and at least one family friend.
Last week, That ’70s Show’s Danny Masterson was arrested and charged with three counts of rape. Today, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s officce charged Ron Jeremy with “three counts each of forcible rape and forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery.”
The 67-year-old porn star is accused of forcibly raping a 25-year-old woman at his West Hollywood home in 2014. Then in 2017, he allegedly sexually assaulted two women, ages 33 and 46, at the same WeHo bar on different dates. Finally, they say he forcibly raped a 30-year-old woman at the same bar in 2019.
There was one woman, who came forward, but there was insufficient evidence to prosecute her case.
Jeremy is set to be arraigned today. The prosecutors are recommending that his bail be set at $6.6 million. If he is convicted, then he could face a maximum sentence of 90 years to life in a state prison.
Back in March 2017, four women accused That ’70s Show’s Danny Masterson of raping them, and he denied the accusations. Today, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office charged him with forcibly raping three women at his home.
The press releases says “The defendant is accused of raping a 23-year-old woman between January and December 2001, according to the complaint.
“In April 2003, Masterson allegedly raped a 28-year-old woman and sometime between October and December of that year he is accused of raping a 23-year-old woman who he had invited to his Hollywood Hills home.”
Two other women also accused him of sexual assault, but the DA decided not to file charges. They explained their decision as “one for insufficient evidence and the other based upon the statute of limitations for the crime alleged.”
If he is convicted of the crimes, he could face a maximum sentence of 45 years to life in prison.
He will be arraigned on September 18th.
Masterson is married to fellow Scientologist Bijou Phillips, and they have a daughter together.
Just over a year ago, the world was shocked to learn that Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, illegally used their wealth to get their daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, into the University of Southern California. Ever since that announcement, they have said that they are innocent. Well, today they are singing a different tune. They have both decided to plead guilty to the charges, according to WBZ.
According to the press release from the Department of Justice in the District of Massachusetts, they will plead guilty on a to be determined date to U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton. “Loughlin will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, while Giannulli will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud.”
If the judge accepts the deal, then she will do two months in prison and he will do five months. Along with the prison time, she will “pay a $150,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 100 hours of community service.” While he will pay “a $250,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 250 hours of community service.”
Who else is screaming 🐂💩? Talk about white, rich privilege. Felicity Huffman pled guilty almost immediately and she got 12 days. This couple strung the courts along for 14 months, and they get a little more time than her. What happened to throwing the book at them?
The one thing that no matter what the judge rules, their careers are over. Last year, $400,000 did not seem like a lot of money to the couple, now it feels like millions and millions of dollars. She better hope that Full House stays in syndication for a long time. Which it will.
It will be interesting to see if the judge, will accept the deal. Especially because people are going to be very vocal about how unhappy they are that the couple is getting such a light sentence.
