Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband Austin Forsyth have spoken out about the child pornography charges brought against her brother Josh Duggar.
The 23-year-old, also known as Joy-Anna Forsyth, and her spouse, 27, took to Instagram Stories on Saturday and addressed the controversy.
The 33-year-old was arrested on April 29 and has pleaded not guilty to two charges: one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. The recent accusations brought against Josh sadden us to our core, the couple’s statement read, as quoted by People magazine. We have not wanted to be hasty in making any statements while trying to process the news ourselves. We are especially heartbroken by the reality that there are children in the world being harmed and exploited.

The pair first announced their courtship in September 2020. Claire and I are excited to share that we are in a courtship, Justin said at the time.
He added: God brought Claire in my life and I wasn’t really expecting it, but he brought her along right when I needed her. Ever since then, I just knew that she was the one. Claire has a lot of good qualities and I can sit here and tell you all of them, but there are so many good things that I see in her. I’m so blessed to have her in my life.
