Katie Thurston ex suitor on The Bachelorette arrested and charged
Katie Thurston’s ex-suitor is in big legal trouble are being caught with child porn. Joshua Tylerbest first appeared on The Bachelor franchise when Katie was The Bachelorette. TMZ broke the news about Joshua’s arrest. It seems he was busted last month after an investigator discovered Joshua allegedly uploaded approximately 50 images and videos showing child sexual abuse. A Google account registered under his name was flagged for this and investigated further.
A search warrant was apparently obtained and law enforcement was able to determine that Joshua had been interacting with the pornographic material. After this discovery, another search warrant was obtained to search his residence and seize certain electronic devices including his mobile phone.
The police allege that 15 more files were found and fit the bill for child porn. Investigators also claim the clips discovered on the devices include videos of kids, some of whom are under 10, involved in graphic sex acts with adults.
Joshua was formally charged with 15 felony counts of possessing material that shows sexual acts by children. He was released on a $5,000 bond and will return to court in June. So far he has pled not guilty to the charges.
His time on the show
Joshua wasn’t eliminated immediately on Katie Thurston’s season of the show. He actually made it to week 4 before finally being sent home by The Bachelorette. At the time, there were no indications he was capable of these alleged actions. He got along with the men and even hung out with them post-show.
One photo appeared on social media in which he is seen hanging out with Justin Glaze, Michael Allio and another contestant. At the time his bio for the show noted that he loves spending time with family. The bio also said he longs to spend time with someone special and bring them home for a barbecue and a night of playing cards.
