Amy Duggar King, a cousin of the Duggar family, has publicly commented on the legal troubles of Josh Duggar. Josh Duggar was arrested in April 2021, not March 2026, and was convicted in December 2021 on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.
In social media posts and media interviews following the arrest and trial, Amy Duggar King stated she was "deeply angry" and heartbroken. She has consistently expressed support for the victims and emphasized the seriousness of the crimes.
Josh Duggar was sentenced to 151 months (over 12 years) in federal prison in May 2022. His conviction was upheld on appeal in 2023. Amy's comments have often contrasted with the private stance of other family members, as she has been openly critical.
The case drew significant public attention due to the family's fame from the reality TV show "19 Kids and Counting." Amy, who also appeared on the show, has since distanced herself from the Duggar family's public image.
