KEY POINTS
Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Sewald released a statement about Josh Duggar s charges on their Instagram Story
Jessa and Seewald said they were against any form of pornography or abuse and want the truth to be exposed
Josh has pleaded not guilty to receiving and possessing material depicting the sexual abuse of children
Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are speaking out after her brother Josh Duggar was arrested in Arkansas on child pornography charges this week.
Members of the Duggar family have released separate statements after Josh, 33, was charged with receiving and possessing material depicting the sexual abuse of children during a court hearing Friday. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. In a statement posted to their Instagram Stories Saturday, Jessa and her husband condemned abuse in all forms.
Nobody who recalls the cringe-inducing June, 2015 Duggar family interview with Megyn Kelly can be surprised at Josh s latest arrest. You may recall that the conservative-Christian parents of “19 Kids and Counting” seemed more concerned with the bad PR than the well-being of their children after Josh faced child pornography and child molestation charges (including molesting two of his sisters).
And that was far from Duggar’s only sleazy behavior.
People has a good rundown:
Months later, in August 2015, Gawker reported that the oldest Duggar son appeared to have had active accounts on Ashley Madison, a website created to facilitate cheating on your spouse.
