Josh Duggar's wife Anna has been silent since the news broke that her husband allegedly fondled five women in the family home. They are expecting their fourth child together this summer, their second daughter. Her sister Susanna told RadarOnline.com she had no comment on the frightening allegations.
Josh, 27, was accused of fondling several minor girls, often while they were sleeping, in 2005. His parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar waited a year before they contacted authorities about the allegations.
