TRIAL TIME
Josh, 33, and wife Anna, also 33, were recently spotted leaving the courthouse.
The duo appeared unhappy in photos obtained exclusively by The Sun outside the John Paul Hammerschmidt Federal Building in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Josh and Anna were pictured wearing black face masks and holding hands.
The eldest Duggar boy stands accused of possessing child pornography, described as among "the worst of the worst" authorities have ever encountered.
Prosecutors in the case detailed a specific video found on Josh's HP desktop computer.
They went on to explain that the computer was associated with both Josh's name and address.
Other footage was also found in a folder on the computer.
In total, authorities found about 65 thumbnail files.
Josh has been charged with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography.
He has pleaded not guilty.
If a jury finds him guilty of these alleged crimes, however, he could face up to 20 hears in prison.
Josh's sister, Jill Duggar, is expected to testify in Josh's trial.
SIBLINGS SPEAK
Jill isn't the only Duggar sibling set to speak.
Jedidiah Duggar is also due to take the stand.
It's unclear, however, whether they will be on the prosecution or defense side.
In addition to their testimony, Judge Timothy Brooks has ruled that evidence of Josh's past molestation of underage individuals will be allowed in the current trial.
"In the motion, the Government advises that it may seek to introduce evidence at trial that the defendant committed other acts of child molestation, as that term is defined by Rule 414," a court document filed in the United States District Court, Western District of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division read.
