Amy Duggar wrote a letter to the judge asking for cousin Josh Duggar to get the “maximum sentence” ahead of his sentencing hearing.
“As I understand the federal court process, me reaching out to the Judge wouldn’t have helped, because I wasn’t asked to write [a letter] from his legal team. But I wrote what was in my head and heart nonetheless. It was so cathartic to get this all out of this out, even if I couldn’t deliver it to the Judge,” the 19 Kids and Counting alum, 35, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, May 25, just hours before Josh, 34, was sentenced to just over 12 years in prison on child pornography charges. “Grateful for his wisdom and hopeful for the maximum sentence this court can offer.”
Adding that she suspects “this will be the first of many judgements” against Josh in his life, Amy continued, “Sadly I do believe this is far from over. This in no way equals justice for his victims and the innocence that was stolen from them, but it is necessary for Josh to finally pay for the sinful crimes he has committed.”
Alongside her post, Amy shared a video of herself reading the letter aloud, in which she slammed her aunt Michelle Duggar and Josh’s wife, Anna Duggar, for pleading that the judge give him a lighter sentence. “I am not interested in providing false character references for Josh, as other members of my family have so recklessly done,” she read, describing him as a “monster” that she believes “will offend again.”
Amy continued: “Offering leniency as his legal team has requested would be a slap in the face of the children [who were] already so previously harmed. … It upset me greatly to see that no one who chose to provide a character reference for my cousin had any concern for the victims.”
