Josh and Anna Duggar welcome baby No. 7 amid child porn scandal

Josh Duggar has welcomed his seventh child with wife Anna Duggar, a daughter named Madyson.

“Meet little Madyson Lily Duggar!” Anna captioned a cheerful Instagram post Tuesday, along with a pink heart emoji. 

The newborn joins siblings Mackynzie, 12, Michael, 10, Marcus, 8, Meredith, 6,
Mason, 4 and Maryella, who turns 2 years old this month.

Her arrival comes just days ahead of Josh’s Nov. 18 pre-trial hearing in his current child pornography case. The trial is set to start on Nov. 30.

The former “19 Kids and Counting” star was arrested in Arkansas just days after Anna announced her pregnancy back in April and indicted on one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

The feds claim that Duggar — who has pleaded not guilty to the charges — had at least 65 images of child porn on a computer at his now-shuttered used car dealership.

Authorities allegedly recovered one file that depicted sex abuse involving children ranging from 18 months to 12 years of age, as well as a two-minute video that showed a man sexually abusing two girls between 5 and 10 years old, Homeland Security special agent Gerald Faulkner testified, according to the Sun.

Due to the nature of the charges, Josh currently lives with family friends LaCount and Maria Reber and is only allowed to visit his children when Anna is present.

Duggar faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in state prison if convicted.
