Josh Duggar trial live – Child pornography case to include testimony from Jill and Jedidiah after star spotted with wife

WHERE IS JOY-ANNA NOW?

Joy-Anna, 24, has settled down with husband Austin Forsyth and they have two kids together – son Gideon, three, and daughter Evelyn, one.

This week, she fueled rumors that she’s pregnant with baby number three when she posed in a baggy sweater for a sweet Thanksgiving family shoot.

The 19 Kids & Counting star appeared to hide her stomach as she stood next to Austin, with Gideon standing in front of her and pulling faces at the camera.

Meanwhile, she chose to snub her parents Jim Bob and Michelle’s family Thanksgiving this year and spend it with Austin’s family instead in Texas.

She shared a video of her in-laws preparing Thanksgiving dinner with potatoes and her grandmother-in-law’s traditional banana pudding.

WHERE IS JUSTIN NOW?

Justin, 19, shocked fans by marrying Claire Spivey, 20, at just 18 years old in February after a five-month courtship.

They have left Arkansas and moved to Texas to be closer to Claire’s parents.

Back in June, fans started questioning whether or not the Claire was pregnant.

She had kept much of her body hidden in a photo with her husband and her parents.

Earlier this month, fans wondered if Claire was getting ready to make a baby announcement over Thanksgiving – or whether she would delay it due to Josh’s child pornography trial.

WHERE IS JINGER NOW?

Jinger, 27, married pastor Jeremy Vuolo in 2016 and has two daughters with him – Evangeline, one, and Felicity, three.

The former reality star has packed up her bags and headed out to California with her husband.

The couple share plenty of photos and clips while living out west, which has also led Jinger to show off some skin under the LA weather.

Jinger has shocked fans by wearing everything from sleeveless tops to shorts and a tight tee to even showing off her long legs.

Aside from her transformation and family life, Jinger has also talked about her body issues and once said: “For me, the wrestling was with my weight and my body image, even though I was very in shape and I didn’t need to lose weight.”

WHERE IS JASON NOW?

Jason, 21, who is the 12th of Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 children, is the owner of a contracting business.

It seems things are going well for the budding property mogul, who sold a Bella Vista, Arkansas farmhouse he built by himself in July 2020.

The house was put on the market in mid-May and sold for its asking price of $233,950.

Back in 2017, Jim Bob co-signed for a local property that Jason fixed up and flipped when he was just a teenager.

The family bought the house for $33,000 with the intention of Jason gutting and transforming the home and it sold for $167,000 in 2018, according to Radar Online.

Jason hasn’t publicly dated anyone yet, but in September he was linked to a woman called Kayla Whaley.

They were spotted together during Jason’s trip to LA to visit Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo with Jana and James.

WHERE IS JED NOW?

Jed, 22, followed the family tradition by marrying young – he tied the knot with Katey Nakatsu in an Arkansas wedding in April.

Duggar fans were left feeling disturbed by their vows, with Jed promising to be Katey’s “leader”, while she vowed to “submit” to him.

They are living in a $365,000 three-bedroom home in Springdale, Arksansas, that was gifted to them by Jim Bob and Michelle.

In September, the couple revealed they are expecting their first child, who is due in Spring 2022.

They were slammed for mocking the Covid-19 pandemic in their “insensitive” announcement.

Jed locked lips with his wife in a series of photos, while holding a sign that read: “She tested positive, but not for Covid.”

WHERE IS JANA NOW?

Jana, 31, still lives with her parents Jim Bob and Michelle as well as her younger siblings at the family’s Arkansas compound.

She has been labeled Cinderella Duggar by fans, as she is the oldest unmarried sibling of the clan’s 19 children.

The reality star was rumored to be dating 27-year-old pilot Stephen Wissmann after they spent Christmas together.

In April, they both attended an airshow in Florida, and sparked engagement talk when a fan spotted an Instagram page with the name “Jana M Wissman”.

However Stephen sparked speculation that they had split in September after he was spotted dancing with “other girls” at a party.

JIM BOB SAYS HE’S ‘DEVOTED TO DOING HIS PART’

In a blog post, Jim Bob slammed “cancel culture” after his son Josh‘s arrest and said he refuses to let it stop him.

He wrote: “Like so many other families, we too have faced crises, difficulties, and heartbreak.”

“…They say because our family has faced problems we should shrink away—this is why they are often so relentlessly unkind, but we cannot sit on the sidelines during a time when one of America’s most important battles is taking place.

“We are devoted to doing our part and making a difference for our children and grandchildren.”

JIM BOB SAYS HE WILL NOT ‘SHRINK AWAY’ OVER JOSH’S ‘PROBLEMS’

Jim Bob Duggar has insisted he refuses to “shrink away” from politics despite his “family problems.”

Last month, Jim Bob announced announced his candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7 seat, according to Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

Now, the father of 19 revealed he won’t be backing down or staying silent in his fight for the seat and will be pushing through “crises” his family’s dealing with.

SOCIAL MEDIA USERS HOPE FOR A CONVICTION

Many have taken to Twitter to express their hopes that Josh Duggar is convicted in his sex pornography trial, which started this week.

‘TOXIC PEOPLE’

As news of her cousin’s actions came to light, Amy made it clear that she did not want anything to do with her conservative Christian family.

Amy recently admitted she sought out “calm” ever since news of Josh being brought up on charges of “knowingly possessing material that contained images of child pornography,” including “of minors under the age of 12.”

The separation has been important for Amy’s mental health as she continues working to “let the toxic go” in her life.

Back in September the TLC star talked about needing a break amid the scandal while taking a relaxing trip to the lake with her husband Dillon King and their son, Daxton.

Just weeks before she re-shared an image of balloons on a brick background that read: “It’s okay to cut off toxic family for your own wellbeing.”

AMY DUGGAR PRAYING FOR ‘ULTIMATE SENTENCE’ FOR COUSIN JOSH

On Tuesday morning ahead of Josh’s trial, Amy shared a few messages on her Instagram Stories reflecting on her desired outcome.

She wrote: “Today is a heavy day. This whole week will be. Next week will be too. Until justice is served.”

She continued with a powerful prayer for the victims involved writing: “Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord, I will repay thee.

“Please pray for the victims, and for the truth to be revealed.

“Pray that the judge will give the ultimate sentence.”

The Counting On alum has been vocal about her feelings towards the allegations against Josh as she’s separated herself from her famous family.

‘THE WORST OF THE WORST’

Josh Duggar has been accused of possessing the sick images that were “the worst of the worst” that authorities had ever seen.

Homeland Security special agent Gerald Faulkner said in May that downloads made from a specific file were “in the top five of the worst of the worst that I’ve ever had to examine.”

JUROR EXCUSED FROM TRIAL BECAUSE HE’S RELATED TO JOSH

An insider exclusively revealed to The Sun that juror #7 was excused immediately after the judge learned of his relationship to the defendant.

The juror, whose name is not known, revealed: “I know Josh Duggar, I’m related to him. The marriage of my daughter to his brother.”

According to the source, the judge was “shocked” and said the juror should’ve been “filtered out.”

JOSH ALLEGEDLY CONFESSED TO FRIEND

The docs also noted: “Mrs. Holt then explained that on March 30, 2003, the Holts joined the defendant and his parents in his parent’s bedroom, where the defendant told Mrs. Holt that he had inappropriately touched the vagina of
Jane Doe 4 that day and had been touching the breasts and vaginal areas of Jane Does 1 through 3, both over and under their clothes, for years.”

It continued: “Mrs. Holt explained that he said he was telling her his because he was courting her daughter and that their relationship would have to end as a result of his conduct.

JOSH ‘SEXUALLY ASSAULTED GIRL WHILE SHE SAT ON HIS LAP’

JUDGE WARNED POTENTIAL JURORS OF ‘GRAPHIC’ EVIDENCE

Eleven potential jurors admitted they had read about the case online or from a newspaper, according to a Sun reporter who was at the Duggar hearing today.

Seven admitted they have been a victim of sexual abuse or knew a family member who had been a victim of sexual abuse, and were questioned in chambers.

The judge’s final note for the potential jurors was about how the case involves child pornography, “also known as sex abuse material.”

He noted that the case is “not about adult or legal porn, it’s about child sex abuse material.”

He warned there would be graphic images, graphic descriptions of body parts and graphic descriptions of sex acts and a limited amount of child sex abuse material.

He warned that if potential jurors were not up to seeing or having such evidence discussed, he needed to know.

When asked if there was anyone who had reservations about serving on the jury after that statement, no one stood.

SOME JURORS AWARE OF DUGGAR FAME

When asked to stand if they didn’t know who Josh Duggar was or if they were not familiar with Josh Duggar and his family, 14 potential jurors stood at today’s jury selection, a Sun reporter at the hearing reveals.

When the judge asked jurors to stand if they had watched the TV show, 28 jurors admitted they had watched either one episode, a few episodes or several episodes.

When asked by the judge if anyone had a strong positive or negative reaction about Josh or the family that may make it difficult to be a fair and impartial juror in the case, six people stood and spoke to the judge in chambers.

JUDGE ASKED IF JURORS COULD BE ‘IMPARTIAL’ DUE TO DUGGAR FAME

Judge Timothy Brooks went into questions specifically about Josh and the show, a Sun reporter at today’s hearing reveals.

He said: “This case has nothing to do with the show. It’s important I ask if there is a possibility of exposure to the show that could have shown strong feelings towards Mr Duggar or the family, positive or negative.”

“It can affect your ability to be impartial. This is important and is something everyone needs to know about. It doesn’t make you disqualified if you watch one episode or come across a simple post provided you are capable of being a fair and impartial juror,” he added.

JIM BOB RUNNING FOR SENATE AMID TRIAL, CONTINUED

In the statement, Jim Bob promised to be the “bold voice that is pro-family, pro-business, pro-gun, and pro-life.”

The TLC star concluded: “It’s time for conservatives to demand courageous leadership that puts Arkansas families, jobs, and our constitutional liberties first.”
