Josh Duggar news continues to dominate the Duggar family headlines. Federal agents arrested Josh in April 2021 on suspicion of obtaining child sexual abuse material, and he just had a pretrial conference on Nov. 18, 2021.

Josh Duggar news: Josh Duggar had a pretrial conference on Nov. 18, 2021
Recent Josh Duggar news revolves around Josh’s pretrial conference. Prior to the conference, Duggar family followers wondered if Josh would accept a plea deal, as a plea may lessen his sentence and allow him to skip the trial. It doesn’t seem as if he accepted a plea deal, though. This means we can still anticipate he’ll head to trial on Nov. 30, 2021.
As for the pretrial, KNWA Fox24 reports the judge scheduled an evidentiary hearing the day before the trial. Here, the witnesses will also gather. According to Shevin Law Group, an evidentiary hearing, the prosecutor explains why the accused should be charged with the alleged crimes — and this is also when the judge will go over the evidence. Prosecutors will likely call witnesses to testify as well. As for the defense, they’re unlikely to call their own witnesses to the stand, but they may question the prosecution’s witnesses.
Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, was spotted with Josh at the pretrial conference
Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, is also making news. Anna recently gave birth to the couple’s seventh child. While she’s kept quiet about the trial ever since Josh’s initial arrest, she took to Instagram to announce their seventh baby, Madyson Lily Duggar, was born at the end of October 2021.
Anna’s appearance at the pretrial conference marks her first public appearance since the birth of Madyson. A video posted by Duggar family critics on Reddit shows Josh and Anna walking hand-in-hand together into the conference. It seems Josh’s defense team is also with them.
Some Duggar family critics noticed Anna’s hair, makeup, and black dress gave a different image than her last court appearance with Josh. One critic suggested the defense may have told Anna to dress differently than the last time, as her brightly-colored clothing from the last court appearance wasn’t well-received by the public.
Where are Josh Duggar’s children now?
With Josh Duggar and Anna Duggar’s recent court appearances, fans are wondering where the kids are. So, where are Josh Duggar’s children staying while all of the legal action goes down? Early reports claimed Anna’s family took care of them.
“Anna is spending most of her time with Josh at the Rebers, and her family has stepped in to help raise all their kids,” an insider shared with The Sun. “She takes them to visit him or they are looked after while she’s there alone, despite what he’s been charged with she refuses to believe he’s guilty.”
A Reddit user shared additional insights. “Remember, the kids aren’t staying with him,” the noted. “So she either stayed over by him last night without the kids, [o]r had someone come watch the kids so she could go over early to tend to him. There’s rarely any reports of the kids being around him recently.”
