Josh Duggar arrested for possessing child sexual abuse material
βBefore the agents tell Joshua Duggar what they're even investigating, he opens his mouth and he asks, what is this about? Has somebody been downloading child pornography? What? It's the kind of question that answers itself, but it doesn't even matter because based off of all of his devices, the evidence is already there.β

Homeland Security used metadata flags to track downloads
βEvery CSAM picture, screenshot, thumbnail, video is logged with a specific metadata code, and that code is then shared with all the local police stations and all of the Internet service providers. And so if anybody's device downloads or sends out one of those codes, even if they're using a VPN or whatever they try to do, dark web, it usually flags.β

Josh bypassed monitoring software using Linux and Tor
βThey even bring in people from Covenant's eyes to testify how the operating system only works on Windows, but Joshua went and got Linux to bypass any and all detection that the software could have. The password used was allegedly the same password Josh used for the family's Instagram account.β

Jim Bob Duggar provided selective and non-credible testimony
βJim Bob is also called into court, and his relationship with memory seems to be highly strategic. He largely states that he doesn't remember much. The court even states, 'the court found mister Duggar's selective lapse in memory to be not credible.' He was obviously reluctant to testify against his son.β

Evidence linked download times to personal text messages
βEvery time Josh would text his wife that he was going to be late from work or that he was being held up somewhere, soon after, his computer would download videos of children. Additionally, through cell tracking towers, the prosecutors were able to prove that Joshua was the only one there at the lot.β
