JOSH’S TRIAL
Immediately after the guilty verdict was revealed, Josh was taken into custody.
The eldest Duggar child was arrested and charged back in April with receiving and possession of child pornography.
Now that the jury reached its verdict, the former TLC star could face up to about 20 years behind bars on each guilty count.
The disgraced reality star is expected to be sentenced in a few months.
Josh’s lawyers have planned on appealing the case.
The Duggar matriarch has been keeping a low profile following the scandal.
‘HEARTS AND PRAYERS’
Michelle and her husband Jim Bob, 56, took to their family’s website and shared a lengthy statement shortly after their son’s guilty verdict was announced.
The statement read: “This entire ordeal has been very grievous.
“Today, God’s grace, through the love and prayers of so many, has sustained us.”
The text continued: “Our hearts and prayers are with anyone who has ever been harmed through CSAM.
“In the days ahead, we will do all we can to surround our daughter-in-law Anna and their children with love and support.”
The statement concluded: “As parents, we will never stop praying for Joshua, and loving him, as we do all of our children.”
LEANING ON FAMILY
Earlier this month, Michelle- who shares 19 kids with Jim Bob- made a rare appearance on social media while spending time with her daughters.
Jana shared a photo that captured Michelle enjoying a meal with her daughters Josie, 12, Jordyn-Grace, 13, Johannah, 16, and Jennifer, 14.
Alongside a shopping bag emoji, Jana captioned the post: “Lunch and shopping with Mom and some of the girls today!”
