Jana Duggar has been charged with endangering the welfare of a minor.

According to the Washington County court document obtained by PEOPLE, the 19 Kids and Counting alum, 31, received the citation on Sept. 9. She has pleaded not guilty to the charge.


The document did not disclose the circumstances surrounding the charge. 

Jana is scheduled to appear in court for a bench trial on Jan. 10, 2022.

Her attorney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

The news of Jana's child endangerment charge comes one day after her brother Josh Duggar was convicted of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. 

Josh, 33, faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and up to $250,000 in fines for each conviction — though, because possession is a lesser included offense, he will technically only be sentenced for the receipt crime.


Josh had been on trial in federal court in Fayetteville, Arkansas, since last week with his wife Anna and some family members watching daily from the front row. Dad Jim Bob and others attended Thursday to hear the verdict. 

The guilty verdict comes about two years after Homeland Security agents first searched Duggar's Wholesale Motorcars in 2019, seizing two personal devices and a work desktop that became key to the case.

Josh was subsequently indicted earlier this year on both of his charges, with prosecutors at his trial showing evidence that he had devised an elaborate hidden system on his work computer with which to view the child pornography over three days in May 2019.

Josh's arrest was only the latest in a series of personal scandals that rocked the Duggar family: The reality show that first made them all famous was canceled in 2015 after a 2006 police report was released revealing he had been investigated for molesting the four younger girls when he was a boy and teenager.


Later in 2015, Josh also admitted to having a pornography addiction and being "unfaithful" in his marriage.

A spin-off of 19 Kids and Counting that followed the Duggar siblings, called Counting On, was canceled after Josh's arrest on the child pornography charges.

If you have been troubled by various Disqus sanctioned trolls, and have data as to their real identities, please feel free to email me with such information at the addresses below. Many folks have my other email address already, so I figure there is no necessity in listing that one on this post. americanresister@gmail.com vampirejesuschrist@gmail.com Those emails will remain open so anyone - including the silly trolls, can contact me with information regarding the Disqus trolls that Disqus will do nothing about. I want to waste their time, and trip them up so I can pursue my new hobby of destroying their lives. They made themselves targets, and severely underestimated a vicious, unfeeling, godless old bastard like me. I already have data on one Disqus troll - I found the surname sent to me surprising, because, among other things, I am a numismatist, and the name is similar to a petty counterfeiter who lived in the 20th century. See if you can figure that one out. I will be abandoning D...

Democrats calling for Biden to step down

By
  Democrats are calling for Biden to do that last thing anyone ever expected Joe Biden is undoubtedly the worst President America has ever seen. From his continued demands that every American be vaccinated to all-time high inflation rates, Biden is destroying the country. Now Democrats are calling for Biden to do that last thing anyone ever expected. Calls for Joe Biden to step aside aren’t just coming from the Right anymore. Word on the street in Washington, D.C. is even some Democrats have had enough with Biden and are making the case that he needs to let someone else run in 2024. Joe Biden has made a mess of the country in less than a year, and his obviously declining mental health is only making matters worse. Biden’s socialist “Build Back Better” spending bill has hit a real bump in the road and won’t see a vote before the end of the year, which could spell disaster for the President. Everyone knows that 2022 will be all about the midterms and which party takes control, so eve...
