Josh Duggar, a former reality TV star, currently being held in a prison cell for child pornography-related crimes, is believed to have been signed autographs for fellow prisoners at FCI Seagoville in Texas.

Known for being on the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting," the 36-year-old is currently serving a 12.5-year sentence for possessing child pornography .One person who spoke to The US Sun said that Duggar has been autographing newspaper articles about himself to the family members of his fellow inmates.

In 2021, federal detectives found sexual abuse materials on a computer that belonged to Duggar's car business. Duggar plead not guilty of any of the charges.

Duggar was convicted and sentenced in 2022, but after bringing a cellphone into the prison in 2023, his sentence was extended by a few months.

Duggar asked the Supreme Court last month to overturn his sentence. He claimed his lawyers should have had the ability to question a worker at the dealership, who had access to the computer, about his previous conviction. Lower courts were in favor of the initial decision, but the Supreme Court turned down Duggar's appeal in June.

Most people are familiar with their Duggar family through the TLC show. In 2015, TLC ended the show due to allegations that Duggar had assaulted four sisters and a babysitter in the past.

After being found guilty of child pornography, Duggar also admitted the apology he felt for his pornography addiction and past allegations of cheating on his wife.
