Josh Duggar’s cousin is speaking out against the former reality star as his child pornography trial starts.
Amy King took to Instagram to unleash on her family member while he sits in court fighting off two federal criminal charges.
“Today is a heavy day. This whole week will be. Next week will be too. Until justice is served,” she wrote.
“Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord, I will repay thee. Please pray for the victims, and for the truth to be revealed. Pray that the judge will give the ultimate sentence,” Amy ended.
The message is clear — Amy wants the judge to throw the book at Duggar for his alleged crimes.
Amy was featured on the Duggar family's TLC show 19 Kids and Counting. She is the daughter of Jim Bob Duggar's older sister.

Back in September, she first announced she was cutting ties with the family amid Duggar's criminal case. She posted a photo reading, "It's okay to cut off toxic family for your own well-being."
Recently, Amy sat down with Today following Duggar's arrest. "It’s OK to protect yourself from negativity and it’s OK to step back. I think that’s where I’m at," she said.
Amy, who has a 3-year-old son, described being disgusted by the charges brought against her relative. "To look at my little guy...my heart and my brain cannot comprehend that. It blows my mind. It’s heartbreaking and disgusting and evil. It’s so evil. I want nothing to do with it."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Duggar's case got off to an explosive start when his father Jim Bob took the stand the day before the trial officially started. Prosecutors subpoenaed Jim Bob because they wanted to grill him about his son's past sexual assaults.
Jim Bob lost it on the stand when he was pressed about the previous scandal. In 2015, Duggar admitted he sexually assaulted his sisters while they were assaulted. He committed the acts when he was a teenager. On the stand, Jim Bob claimed he could not recall the details of what Duggar admitted or information about the victims.
