Dealing with the fallout. Amid Josh Duggar’s child pornography scandal, parents Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar have frequently spoken out about their feelings on the matter.
“We appreciate your continued prayers for our family at this time,” the 19 Kids and Counting parents said in a statement to Us Weekly in April 2021. “The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious. It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner. We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family.”
Josh — who shares seven children with wife Anna Duggar — was arrested without bail earlier that month on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. After a trial in his home state of Arkansas, Josh was found guilty and convicted in December 2021.
“This entire ordeal has been very grievous,” Jim Bob and Michelle told Us in a statement after the verdict. “Today, God’s grace, through the love and prayers of so many, have sustained us. Our hearts and prayers are with anyone who has ever been harmed through [child sexual abuse material].”
