At his federal trial, an investigating agent testified that what was discovered on Josh Duggar's work computer included images of children as young as eighteen months old — and ranked among the worst material that agent had encountered in his entire career.

Part 4 of Hidden Killers' five-part Duggar series traces the full arc of Josh Duggar's adult life: the 2008 TLC wedding, the lobbying career, a 2015 civil lawsuit alleging serious misconduct that was settled before any court adjudication, and the Ashley Madison data breach that revealed he'd had a paid account on a site built specifically for facilitating affairs.

After Ashley Madison, Josh released a public statement. He admitted to infidelity. He called himself the biggest hypocrite ever. He cited a pornography addiction. He said all of that years before anyone knew what was sitting on his work computer.

While Josh waited for his federal trial, Jim Bob announced a run for the Arkansas State Senate. His platform was pro-family. He ran. He finished third.

December 2021: the jury came back guilty. May 2022: twelve years and seven months. His initial appeal was denied. He is currently incarcerated in Texas.

Part 4 of 5.
