Jinger Duggar Applauds the Conviction Of Her Brother, Josh Duggar, In Child Porn Case

Jinger Duggar is the latest Duggar family member to praise the conviction of her brother, Josh Duggar.

Josh was recently found guilty in his child pornography case, Page Six reported.

“We are saddened for the victims of horrific child abuse. We are also saddened for Josh’s family, his wife, and precious children,” Jinger, 27, began a lengthy statement on Instagram addressing her brother’s conviction, adding that her 33-year-old sibling has brought “dishonor” to Christ’s name.

His sister defended Christianity, which she feels may be questioned following her brother’s conviction since he was raised within the religion.

“When a professing follower of Jesus is exposed as a hypocrite, the response of many will be to challenge the integrity of Jesus himself,” she wrote. “They’ll question the legitimacy of a Savior whose so-called followers privately delight in the sins they publicly denounce. This is why the Apostle Paul told religious hypocrites that ‘the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you (Romans 2:24).’

“For Josh, we fear for his soul.”

The wife and mother of two also went to thank the jury and God for being “a God of justice who cares for the innocent and the helpless.”

“We are thankful to God for exposing Josh’s actions and to a legal system committed to protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty in this case,” she added. “We are grateful for justice. We are praying for further justice, vindication, protection, and healing for all those who have been wronged.”

Josh was arrested earlier this year, and on Thursday, he was found guilty on one count each of receiving and possessing child pornography.

The reality star faces up to 20 years behind bars and fines of up to $250,000 for each count.

In 2015, Josh was exposed for molesting five minors — which included two of his sisters, Jessa and Jill — in an InTouch exposé.
