Jessa Duggar Reveals Truth Behind Jana's Legal Charge In Fiery Reply To Critics

The hits just keep coming for the super-sized Duggar brood.

On the heels of Josh Duggar's guilty verdict on December 9 for receiving and possessing child pornography, it's now his sister, Jana Duggar, making headlines. On December 10, In Touch Weekly confirmed that Jana has been charged with endangering the welfare of a minor –  a crime that can be classified as a Class D felony or a Class A misdemeanor, though it's reported she's been charged with a misdemeanor. 

While there is still little information as to what actually took place and led to the child endangerment charges we do know that the incident in question occurred on September 9 and per Without a Crystal Ball, a family insider maintains that Jana has pleaded "not guilty" to the charge. Recently, however, Jessa Duggar shed new light on the mysterious charges during a fiery message to her sister's critics...

Jessa Duggar is clapping back!

Following the news that Jana Duggar had been charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, the backlash was swift. Due to the nature of her brother's crimes, many couldn't help but wonder if there was a correlation between the two cases — but little sister Jessa Duggar was having none of it and took to her Instagram Story to set the record straight once and for all. "Getting messages about headlines about Jana. Bottom line — it was an innocent mistake," she began. "She was babysitting and one of the kids slipped out the door unnoticed, but it ended safely. Could've happened to anyone," she continued. "The media is sensationalizing this because of other current family circumstances and it makes me so mad." As for Jana, Jessa remained firmly in her corner. "She's without a question one of the most amazing women I know and I'd trust her with my kids any day of the week. Do me a favor — give the girl a break, and all you perfect humans go back to living your lives."

While we don't know if Jessa's recent clap back was enough to sway the court of public opinion, we do know that her hearing before a court of law is set for January 10, 2022 per In Touch Weekly.
