The charges were not read out at the arraignment, by request of Duggar's Lawyers. But, Duggar has pleaded not guilty. According to E!

According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Josh faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and fines up to $250,000.00 on each count.o details have been given as to why he was arrested."

In 2015, a police report from 2009 came to light that stated Josh was accused of molesting 5 girls when he was 14. His sisters Jill and Jessa revealed themselves as two of his victims. After this came to light, TLC canceled the family's show. In 2015, a hack of the Ashley Madison site revealed that Josh Duggar had been using the site, where married people look for affairs. Duggar admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and also having a porn addiction. According to E! News, it seems Duggar has removed the line about porn addiction from the 2015 apology.
