The home is an upgrade from his previous living conditions, as he resided on the Duggar family compound in a renovated warehouse with his wife and children.

Anna recently welcomed their seventh child together.

The warehouse was featured on Counting On as a wedding dress pop-up shop for John Davids wife Abbie.

The photos from the episode match all of the photos of Annas Instagram inside the home.

He previously volunteered as a chaplain at the Washington County Jail, where Duggar remained for a week.

Maria is a homemaker, and shares a son and daughter with her husband.

Their daughter, Hannah, 22, teaches piano lessons from the family home.

LaCount and Maria are church friends of Jim Bob and Michelle.

They admitted at the hearing that they did not know Josh well.

At Joshs detention hearing, parole officer Diem Nguyen said Maria had reservations of Josh living with her family.

Diem explained: "Her concern was she was a woman and Josh was a man and that she felt, she didnt know how she felt about being alone with him for a long period of time.

The officer then explained how minors come in and out of the home for piano lessons, but that they are always supervised by an adult.

The family also owns firearms, which caused concern for the judge.

Josh would stay in an add-on bedroom in the home. The Internet is password protected.

The parole officer said: "Based on his job and hes a pastor, volunteers, they could be suitable third party custodians. However, the minors coming into the home and the pistols cause the probation office some concern.

When Joshs lawyer spoke, he said they would provide a suitable residence.

She agreed, however, to remove the firearms from the home and not have the lessons there as well.

On Hannahs piano Instagram page, she told a follower on Friday: Currently, Im doing lessons via Zoom or FaceTime.

According to conditions of release obtained by The Sun, he is restricted to the residence of LaCount and MariaReber at all times except for employment, education, religious services, medical or mental health treatment, attorney visits, court-ordered obligations, court hearings or other activities approved by a parole officer.

The Arkansas judge ordered Josh to wear a GPS ankle monitor.

Other terms include maintaining employment, no possession of firearms, no excessive alcohol use, no possession of pornography and more.

Josh has unlimited access to his children with his wife Anna, 33, as long as she is present.

He is unable to have contact with other minors, including his siblings, nieces and nephews.

Thejudge said of her decision to releaseJim Bob and Michelles oldest son: "The court views these charges as very serious. It is a concern to have an agent testify that the file download found on a computer is some of the worst child abuse pornography in 1,000 cases, that concerns the court.

"The victims of your crime, if you committed it, concern the court. Children are involuntary victims of pornography. Theyre subject to human trafficking. This weighs against your release into the community.

18

She said the molestation scandal that was made public concerns her, because of the age of the victims and the children in the videos and photos.

The judge added: "I am concerned images and ages are very close to the ages of your children and nephews and nieces and siblings' children.I don't know if you're a danger.

Special Agent Gerald Faulkner from Homeland Security was the first to take the stand at the hearing, as he was questioned by the prosecutor.

He said: In May of 2019, [an Arkansas police officer] identified a computer participating in the known sharing of photos and videos of child pornography.

He claimed Josh had one two-minute video that contained graphic images.

Also found were 65 images of an underage female consistent with child pornography.

The victims were ages 5 to 10.

It was also allegedJosh accessed the dark webin order to get a hold of the images.

Joshadmitted he had a TOR browser on his computer, which gave him access to the dark web anonymously.

The Homeland Security special agent explained how the child pornography could be found on the dark web.

The special agent said downloads from a specific file were made which were "in the top five of the worst that I've ever had to examine.

The specific file has been known to include children as young as 18 months old.He did not say if Josh downloaded the photos involving an 18-month-old.
