Jim Duggar, the father of 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar, warned the family of the child porn arrest before the feds turned up at his door.
“Jim Bob told all his kids and their spouses on Thursday morning that Josh would be arrested imminently,” a source told The Sun.
“He asked them all to pray for Josh and Anna, and trust that God would bring them closer together through the tough time,” the insider continued. “He also asked them to not speak publicly about the arrest or any issues with Josh.”
Josh was arrested by the feds last month. The former reality star is being accused of downloading child sexual abuse material, some showing children as young as 18 months up to the age of 12. He reportedly downloaded the porn in 2019.
Duggar has been charged by indictment with two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography. Josh faces up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines on each count if convicted.
Duggar was granted bail by a federal judge on Wednesday. He has six kids and one on the way.
