JOSH'S SENTENCING The outing comes after her brother Josh, 33, was sentenced to prison on December 9 following a nearly two-week-long trial. Jana along with many of her other siblings were in attendance at the trial to offer their support. Josh was arrested and charged with possessing and receiving child pornography in April 2021. Upon his guilty verdict, he was immediately taken into custody at Washington County Jail, where he was placed in solitary confinement away from other prisoners for his safety until his sentencing next year. Amid Josh's sentencing, he was transferred to federal prison for the crime and faces 20 years for each count. JANA'S LEGAL TROUBLES Just days after her brother's fate was decided, news broke that Jana had a court battle of her own after she was charged back in September of 2021 with endangering the welfare of a child. The TV personality posted bail at $430 at the time. A clerk confirmed to The Sun that Jana's next court date will be on January 10, 2022, at 1.30pm. Without a Crystal Ball was first to report the news of her charge. JANA'S DEFENSE On Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Jana took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the situation regarding her charges. ...I prefer a more private life, but I know my last name means that everything we do is open to public criticism and interest, especially during this time.... She claimed: ...The raw facts: I was babysitting a few months ago when one of the children wandered outside alone. ...A passerby who saw the child called the police. ...This resulted in a written citation, as well as a follow-up with child welfare who concluded that it was an accident and the child was unharmed." The Counting On alum concluded: ...They recognized it was a case of a child slipping out of the house when you turn your back for a moment. ...It all happened so quickly and was scary.... FAMILY'S SUPPORT Jana's sister, Jessa, 29, also took to social media to claim that the media was ...sensationalizing... the incident. ...Getting messages about headlines about Jana. Bottom line \- it was an innocent mistake. ...She was babysitting and one of the kids slipped out the door unnoticed, but it ended safely.... Jessa's Instagram post went on: ...Could've happened to anyone. The media is sensationalizing this because of other current family circumstances and it makes me so mad....
