Josh Duggar guilty verdict prompts reaction from sister Jessa, brother-in-law Ben Seewald

The Seewalds have broken their silence on Josh Duggar's child pornography conviction.

"From the moment we learned of this case against Josh we have prayed that God would cause the truth to be made known, no matter what it was, and that the facts would be followed wherever they lead," the statement begins on Twitter.

"We are grieved beyond words over the children exploited and abused in child sexual abuse material, and we are thankful for our justice system in its punishment of such evils. Our hearts break for Josh's family and we ask your continued prayers for them in the unfathomable grief and pain they are enduring," it concludes.
