Josh pleaded not guilty to the charges. He has not yet received bail, which means he will remain behind bars for the time being. Per People, Judge Erin L. Wiedemann told Josh that if he’s released from Arkansas jail, he must move to a “residence where there’s no minor in the home.” While TV Shows Ace initially reported that Josh must stay away from all minors, this could also mean his own children as well.

The former television personality and his wife currently share six children, with one more on the way. The judge made it clear that he can’t be present at home with any of his children because of the charges. This means that his children may never see him again. Josh did not release any statements, other than understanding the charges against him.
