Josh Duggar is a former television personality best known for his role on the TLC series 19 Kids and Counting.

The Sun exclusively reported that Josh, 33, was arrested and jailed in Arkansas on federal charges on April 29.

At his arraignment in court on Friday, Josh pleaded not guilty to the charges, and was ordered to remain in custody until at least May 5.

According to a new indictment, he was arrested for child porn possession, featuring minors under 12.

If he is allowed to bail himself out next week, he cannot be around any minors, the judge told the star and his legal team during the court hearing.

The bombshell bust comes just six years after claims he molested five girls as a teen.
