Last week, Joy-Anna and her husband Austin broke their silence over Josh Duggar’s child porn arrest.
The couple both took to their Instagram stories to share the same statement, reading: “The recent accusation brought against Josh sadden us to our core.
“We have not wanted to be hasty in making any statements while still trying to process the news ourselves. We are especially heartbroken by the reality that there are children in the world being harmed and exploited.”

“We ask for prayer for all those involved, and it is our continued prayer that the truth comes to light,” they concluded.
Josh, 33, has pleaded not guilty to possessing 65 child porn images and was released after making bail.
The father of six left jail wearing an ankle monitor, and will now be confined to his home until his July 2021 trial.
The TLC star has “unlimited access” to his children and his pregnant wife Anna, though he is unable to have contact with any other minors, including his siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Jill and her husband Derick also previously spoke out about the horrifying news, as they exclusively told The Sun they were “very sad.”
“We’re very sad about the whole thing, it’s horrible. It’s all very sad. Josh’s wife Anna is pregnant with their seventh child, I cannot imagine how she is feeling.”
Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo also issued a statement, reading: “We are disturbed to hear of the charges against Josh.”
“While this case must go through the legal system, we want to make it clear that we absolutely condemn any form of child abuse and fully support the authorities and judicial process in their pursuit of justice.”
