Josh Duggar, the former star of 19 Kids and Counting, has been moved to a federal prison - FCI Seagoville or FCI Texarkana, both in Texas.

The facilities are several hundred miles from the Fayetteville, Arkansas detention center where he has been housed and began serving his 12 year sentence. 

Duggar, 34, was transferred in the early hours of Friday according to US Magazine.  

He has been in custody since December when a federal jury found him guilty of possession and receipt of child pornography. The possession charge was dropped at his sentencing.

Duggar has since filed an appeal with a court in Arkansas to challenge his sentence.

'Duggar respectfully provides notice of his intent to evaluate and pursue any and all meritorious arguments in his appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit,' a court document submitted on June 3, read.

The court heard in December how the dad-of-seven used the desktop computer at his car dealership to trawl the dark web for hundreds of warped films and photos.

'The images were some of the worst that this court has ever encountered,' Judge Brooks told Duggar, as his wife Anna sat a few yards behind him in the public gallery during his hearing. 

One notorious movie, 'Daisy's Destruction', featured the abuse and torture of an infant. Another sequence of images depicted a girl being whipped with a cat o' nine tails, tied up and locked in a dog cage.

The judge in his case stated that he was giving the convicted pedophile a harsher sentence because of the sexual abuse that he had subjected his own sisters to when he was a teenager. 

Duggar is a father to seven kids he had with his wife Anna Duggar: Mackynzie, 12, Michael, 10, Marcus, 8, Meredith, 6, Mason, 4, Maryella, 3, and Madyson, 7 months.

When he is eventually released, he will not be allowed to have unsupervised visits for another 20 years. 

Court documents outlined the conditions of his supervised release:

'If there is a concern about the potential for inadvertent contact with a minor at a particular place, function, or event, then the Defendant shall get approval from the U.S. Probation Office before attending any such place, function or event.'

It also bans Duggar from having 'access to a computer or any other electronic device that has Internet or photograph storage capabilities without prior advance notice and approval of the U.S. Probation Office.' 

Any device he is allowed to have will need to be approved and also be subject to random searches via the use of monitoring software. 

Duggar's Apple laptop was seized by investigators during a raid that lead to his arrest. There was no evidence of child porn on the Macbook but it did contain backed up data from Duggar's old iPhone 8 that allowed investigators to access his old texts and pictures
