Josh, who is married to Anna Duggar, is a father of six. Anna is currently pregnant with the couple’s seventh child.
“We intend to defend this case aggressively and thoroughly,” Josh’s lawyer said in a statement to E! News shortly after his arrest. “In this country, no one can stop prosecutors from charging a crime. But when you’re accused, you can fight back in the courtroom—and that is exactly what Josh intends to do.”
Other members of Josh’s family have also spoken out following the allegations.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Josh’s parents, said in a statement to E! News of the arrest, “We appreciate your continued prayers for our family at this time. The accusations brought against Joshua today are very serious. It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner. We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family.”
