The Insider reports:
Josh Duggar, one of the stars of the since-cancelled TLC reality show “19 Kids and Counting,” pleaded not guilty on Friday to multiple unknown federal charges.
At an arraignment hearing in federal court in Arkansas, Chief Magistrate Judge Erin Wiedemann did not read out what Duggar was charged with, nor was a complaint immediately released.
Wiedemann told Duggar’s lawyers that “given the nature of the charges against him,” Duggar would likely need to reside with a “third-party custodian” who could ensure he complies with his bond conditions. That custodian must live in a home where there are no minors.
Read the full article. Duggar remains in custody for now. As you can see below, reporters were allowed to tweet the charges after the hearing was concluded.
