Jessa Duggar Seewald has broken her silence following the arrest of her brother Joseph on child molestation charges, but her message of support was deleted shortly after it was posted.
Jessa, 33, is married to Ben Seewald and is one of the 19 kids of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, featured on TLC's '19 Kids & Counting.'
Joseph, 31, has been arrested for allegedly touching the genitals of a nine-year-old during a Florida vacation in 2020.
Jessa wrote, 'We learned of this saddening news along with the rest of the world on Wednesday, and we are in complete shock.'
'Our hearts are grieving for this innocent young girl, and we know this is deeply grievous to God, who cares tenderly for children and the vulnerable. We are keeping her in our prayers,' she added.
Jessa also extended her support to Joseph's wife, Kendra and their children, writing, 'As a family, we are pulling together to support Kendra and her kids during this difficult time.'
However, the post appeared to be deleted shortly after it went up.
Joseph has been charged with serious crimes, including inappropriate sexual behavior involving a child under 12 and similar behavior by an adult over 18.
Kendra Duggar has also been charged with four counts of endangering a minor and four counts of false imprisonment in a separate case.
