Amy King Says Josh’s 12-Year Prison Sentence Is “Not Enough”

Ever since Josh’s trial, even prior to Josh’s trial, Josh’s cousin Amy King has been vocal about how she feels about Josh and the whole child pornography situation.

On Wednesday, May 25, the eldest of the Duggars, Josh Duggar, 34, was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison for being guilty of receiving and possessing child pornography.

Although Josh was given 151 months, the verdict didn’t sit well with a lot of people who wanted him to get 20 years which is befitting to the nature of the crime he committed according to federal law. Although Josh’s mom Michelle Duggar, and wife Anna Duggar once wrote to the judge ahead of the sentencing to be lenient with Josh’s verdict and instead, give Josh a 5-year sentence, Amy has never minced words when saying that Josh deserves to serve 20 years in jail for his crime.

Reacting to Josh’s punishment, Amy told Celebuzz, “Twelve and a half years isn’t enough, but I hope that every single second he’s there feels like an eternity.”

She later expanded her thoughts in an Instagram video, saying she could “breathe” knowing that Josh would be serving a hard time.

Amy then went on to thank her followers for “all the support” and “all the love. “Hopefully, tonight I can sleep for the first time ever and just be rest assured that another monster will be put behind bars,” she added. “Makes my heart feel just a little lighter.”

Along with his prison sentence, Judge Timothy L. Brooks of the Western District of Arkansas Federal Court fined Josh $10,000, according to court documents.

According to the docs, the former TLC star, who is the oldest child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, will be placed on a 20-years supervised release, where he will be required to participate in a sex offender treatment program, upon his release from prison. He will also be prohibited from unsupervised contact with minors and will not be able to use a computer or any device with internet without approval or use marijuana.

Amy previously spoke out ahead of Josh’s December convictions, asking her followers to “pray that the judge will give the ultimate sentence.”

“Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, I will repay thee,” Amy wrote, quoting the Bible, in a Nov. 30 Instagram Story. “Please pray for the victims and for the truth to be revealed.”

Amy King — On Begging Anna Duggar To Divorce Josh

Being that Anna is the mother of seven beautiful children, Amy saw that as a valid enough reason for Anna to consider leaving Josh for good.

Earlier this month, Amy penned an open letter to Josh’s wife who has chosen to stick by his side, and told her that she’s “being surrounded by the wrong kind of support.”

“If no one else in your life is saying it, I need you to understand that there is no shame in divorcing Josh,” Amy wrote to Anna on Instagram. “Someday your kids will be old enough to understand what kind of guy their father really is. You can’t protect them from the truth for forever!”
