Now his large, famous family is reacting in various ways.<\/p>\n<p>Josh\u2019s wife Anna, the mother of their seven children, has been standing by her husband all along. Some other members of the tight-knit Duggar family, however, came to different conclusions about the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle, who became famous on their TLC reality show \u201c19 Kids and Counting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cousin Amy (Duggar) King expressed her feelings with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CeAJNvBvpav\/\">Instagram<\/a> followers just hours after Josh\u2019s sentencing. Amy said she wished Josh had gotten closer to the maximum punishment, which was up to 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew him getting the maximum sentence wasn\u2019t going to be the easiest to prove since it\u2019s his first offense in the judge\u2019s eyes \u2014 which I hate \u2014 but at the same time, he cannot have his computer, he cannot hurt [and] exploit any more children and when he sees his kids, he has to be supervised,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Amy continued, saying \u201cwhere he\u2019s going \u2026 the prisoners are going to take care of him\u201d but also said drama with Josh is \u201cfar from over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJosh\u2019s sickness stems from somewhere, and eventually we will hear about the trauma. I don\u2019t know when, or how, or who but eventually I think more will come out,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut hopefully tonight, I can sleep for the first time ever and rest assured that another monster will be put behind bars makes my heart feel a little lighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josh\u2019s younger sister Jill (Duggar) Dillard had mixed emotions about the ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last several weeks and months have been difficult emotionally. Yesterday was another one of those hard days,\u201d she and husband Derick Dillard wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dillardfamily.com\/2022\/05\/our-response-to-joshs-sentencing\/\">statement<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil now, he has yet to be held accountable to the extent necessary to cause change in his dangerous pattern of behavior,\u201d the couple continued. \u201cIt is unfortunate, but it seems that it may take spending over a decade in federal prison, and still more on probation, for Josh to have any potential for rehabilitation to the point he can safely live in society again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dillards also said they wanted Josh to, \u201cbegin to get treatment and begin to work toward a lifestyle where he is less likely to reoffend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to love Josh and his family and will be there for them however we can,\u201d they wrote in conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Josh\u2019s brother Jason said he believes the judge was \u201cfair\u201d but also said he\u2019d never stop loving his sibling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday my oldest brother was sentenced to 151 months, around 12 1\/2 years in prison for receiving and possessing child pornography,\u201d the \u201cCounting On\u201d alum wrote on his Instagram Story Thursday, per <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/05\/27\/jason-duggar-will-never-stop-loving-josh-after-sentencing\/\">Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, judge Timothy L. Brooks was fair in his ruling giving Josh a sentence that would be considered below the median for the crimes he has committed,\u201d Jason shared. \u201cMy heart is grieved over the choices my brother has made, his actions do not reflect that of a Christian believer and have doubtlessly defamed my Lord and Saviors [sic] name!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former reality star Josh Duggar was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison after being convicted of child pornography possession charges.
