Josh Duggar and Wife Anna Duggar Allegedly Went Shopping After Josh Downloaded Illegal Files, Trial Reveals

Josh Duggar's trial continues on, and recent allegations suggest Josh Duggar may have downloaded illegal and explicit content to his work computer hours before going on a shopping trip with his wife, Anna Duggar. Here's what was alleged in court.

Josh Duggar’s trial continues on Dec. 3, 2021. In April 2021, federal agents arrested Josh on suspicion of downloading child sexual abuse content — and the prosecution appears confident in their stance as the trial goes on. A recent report of what’s going on during the trial talks of an alleged shopping trip that involved Josh Duggar and his wife, Anna Duggar. This shopping trip reportedly happened just hours after Josh allegedly downloaded illegal files.

Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, continues to appear in court to support her husband. Starting at the end of November 2021, Josh Duggar’s trial began, and early reports of Josh’s alleged criminal activity suggest Anna believes her husband remains innocent. It’s unclear exactly what Anna believes now, though. Reporters haven’t noted much regarding her behavior during the trial, though a reporter from The Sun said she had a few reactions to some of the information presented.

According to The Sun reporter, Anna Duggar left the courtroom when child sexual abuse material was presented to the jury. Detective Amber Kalmer, a Little Rock Police Department FBI Task Force Internet Crimes Against Children detective, showed part of a downloaded video to the jury. This video was allegedly downloaded on the IP address connected to Josh’s workplace computer at Wholesale Motorcars.

More recently, another report from The Sun noted Anna appeared upset when the courts discussed Josh’s passwords. She also allegedly approached Derick Dillard in the courtroom about the password situation.

Allegations suggest Josh and Anna Duggar went shopping hours after Josh downloaded explicit and illegal content

According to new allegations made during Josh Duggar’s trial on Dec. 3, 2021, Josh Duggar and wife Anna Duggar went shopping hours after Josh downloaded illegal content. According to The Sun, allegations suggest Josh left his car lot, Wholesale Motorcars, around 8:14 p.m. on May 14, 2019. He then went to Lowes to shop for doors with Anna. They took a selfie together while shopping. But prior to the shopping trip, Josh allegedly downloaded many illegal materials to his computer.

In addition to the shopping trip reveal, the publication notes Josh’s phone was examined. A text from Josh’s phone sent on May 14 at 4:49 p.m. stated, “got stuck here.” Then, that same night at 5:28 p.m. and 5:38 p.m., two explicit videos were downloaded on Josh’s computer at work. At 5:48 p.m., another text was sent from Josh’s phone suggesting he was still at the car lot. At 8:14 p.m. that night, the phone evidence concludes Josh and Anna arrived at Lowes for the shopping trip.

Where are Josh Duggar’s children during the trial?

With everything going on with the trial, where are Josh Duggar’s children? Anna Duggar recently gave birth to their seventh child, and she broke her Instagram silence to post the news. But none of the Duggar family members commented on where Josh’s children currently reside.

In the past, when Josh stayed with the Reber family following his arrest, a source told The Sun that Josh and Anna’s six children stayed with Anna’s family. “Anna is spending most of her time with Josh at the Rebers, and her family has stepped in to help raise all their kids,” the source alleged. “She takes them to visit him or they are looked after while she’s there alone. Despite what he’s been charged with, she refuses to believe he’s guilty.”

Perhaps Anna’s family stepped in now to help out with the children. Only time will tell.
