Josh Duggar’s estranged sister Jill and brother Jed to testify as witnesses in child pornography trial

JOSH Duggar's estranged sister Jill and his brother Jedidiah will be testifying as witnesses at the disgraced star's child pornography trial this week.

Josh, 33, has pleaded not guilty to two child pornography counts.

On Tuesday, Arkansas judge Timothy Brooks held jury selection where he asked 52 potential jurors a series of questions.

The Sun can exclusively reveal that during the hearing, the judge read the witness list.

Jill, 30, and Jedidiah, 32, are set to testify this week.

It is not clear at the moment if they will testify for the prosecution or the defense.

The judge read the siblings' names out loud and asked if any of the jurors knew them, but no one did.

Twelve jurors and four alternates were picked by the end of the day.

Josh's trial will be underway on Wednesday for child pornography charges stemming from his April 2021 arrest.

The ex-reality star and his wife, Anna, were seen arriving at the courthouse today while holding hands, as the couple said nothing while entering the building.

The trial is expected to last five to six days.

Josh 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."

The mom of seven wore a black dress and a mask as she stayed close to Josh who kept it low-key in a suit and tie.

However, fans were quick to display their shock and anger at Anna's support of Josh, despite the charges against him.

While Jill and Jed will be testifying, their dad Jim Bob already was forced to take the stand on behalf of the prosecution.

However, he repeatedly claimed he couldn't remember the details of Josh's past admissions that he had touched the victims, who were called Jane Does 1 to 4, reported.

JIM BOB CAN'T REMEMBER

In 2015, Jim Bob had told police that Josh, 33, had confessed to touching underage girls, including Jill and his sister Jessa, in the family home between 2002 and 2003.

According to a 2006 police report, which Arkansas police later destroyed, Jim Bob first told cops in 2002 that he had molested young victims while they were asleep in the Duggar family home.

"This was something for a young man to come forward," he said, calling it a "juvenile record" and a "sealed case."

Jim Bob reportedly said to judge Timothy L. Brooks: "I'm not going to allow it, are you going to allow for that?"

"If there is [an] objection to be made, someone will make it but it won't be you," the judge replied.

BEHIND BARS?

Josh admitted the molestation in a statement at the time on his Facebook page, however, he never faced charges.

It has been said that Josh's trial could last until December 3, and if found guilty, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

He recently welcomed his seventh child, Maydson, with Anna, as he has had unlimited access to his children with his wife present.
