"Toby Willis, father of the "Willis Clan" and former TLC reality star, pleaded guilty this morning to four counts of child rape. Cheatham County Circuit Court Clerk Julie Hibbs confirmed that Willis received two 25-year sentences on two counts and two 40-year sentences on the other two. Those sentences will be concurrent, and served at 100 percent, giving Willis a total of 40 years in prison. " www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/cheatham/2017/07/11/willis-clans-toby-willis-pleads-guilt-child-rape/468319001/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin=He promotes the usual conservative views about religion and sex like the importance of sexual abstinence before marriage, etc. Of course he does. Do as he says not as he does - unto the children. But I'm supposed to be worried about the transgender woman in the stall next to me who just wants to pee. Mmm-hmmmm. |

His parents and siblings were in the van/truck accident that started the downfall of Governor Ryan. All the children (I believe 6) were killed when a truck driven by a illegal immigrant rear-ended them. The parents survived. His father is a minister. This is just so sad and sick. Those poor kids, the victims and his children. Edited to add: You are right, their house did burn down also. |

The willis' accident happened when they rode over a piece of metal and it caused their van to partially explode and catch fire. the metal had fallen off a truck whose driver had bribed an Illinois official to get his license, and that started the big political investigation/landslide. |

This is horrible. I missed the news about this last year. I really liked how much talent that family had too. My guess is that it was one of his daughters....sick bastard.

I watched their show for two seasons and wasn't crazy about the Dad, there was something off that I couldn't put my finger on.
As for the kids, I think they're pretty talented so I hope they can carry on with their singing careers.

I'm so sorry for his victim.
The only justice would be executing him. There is no cure for being a pedophile.

I actually enjoyed their show and the kids are indeed very talented. Awful that Toby Willis did this and I can't imagine the heartbreak his parents must be going through having their surviving child do something so disgusting.

We are thinking of the same accident, but you are correct, it was not a rear-end accident, it was a piece of metal. The driver bribed someone in the IL Secretary of State office and he was illegal. |

We saw them perform at Dollywood a couple of years before they went on America's Got Talent. Those kids are wonderful musicians. My husband and I were completely stunned when he was arrested. Just broke my heart for those children.

“But the bottom fell out last September, when their father, Toby Willis, was arrested for child rape and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Though not stated at the time, it eventually came out that the rape in question involved his oldest daughter, and the family cancelled all of their stage shows and clustered together to deal with the aftermath.” I really liked this family, and it makes me really sad. So disgusting. |

That is really sad. I hope the family minus the dad of course gets all the help they need. The mom seems like a very strong woman.. I swear I hope she didn't know about what was going on. I did like their show.

You know I was really hoping it wouldn't be his daughters, I mean I don't want it to be anyone, but it's such a betrayal of trust when it is your parent.
And there it is, that thing I couldn't put my finger on when I watched the show. Thought the kids were all crazy talented but he just weirded me out.

And there it is, that thing I couldn't put my finger on when I watched the show. Thought the kids were all crazy talented but he just weirded me out. I felt the same way. Def controlling and one scene they were talking about land and how they would divide it all up and the kids would live on the land. The oldest dd said nope and was totally against it. I did read somewhere that the 3 oldest girls are now married. Not sure if that’s true but good for them. They seem like great kids who truly care for one another. I hope their mother is strong enough to carry on and hopefully leave her husband behind. |

He needs to be locked away forever, but that won't happen. He's an animal.

You lose 6 siblings. You'd think that would be enough for you to appreciate your family and not commit some horrific crime like rape. What a sick individual.

15 TLC Stars Who Shouldn't Have Been Given Any TV Time "TLC is a TV network that focuses primarily on reality series involving "lifestyles, family life and personal stories." Sounds nice, right? TLC even stands for "The Learning Channel!" Oh, we've learned a lot, TLC. We've all learned things that we wish we could forget." Have never understood the appeal of "reality" shows as they are obviously being filmed which puts any "reality" right out the window. They always have reminded me of the seediness of some of human nature's voyeuristic tendencies. link |

I'm sure you know this, but it's about control and dominance, not appreciation or lack thereof. Yes, and what I meant is that if you lost 6 of your siblings, you'd think you'd treat your own family preciously and not abuse them. In Toby's case, it probably was about control and dominance, but it also has to do with the fact that he's one sick perverted individual to have done this to his four oldest daughters. |

Willis daughter speaks: www.jessicawillisfisher.com/"… my father controlled the family in every single area of life. Underneath the outward foundations of family, religion and homeschooling with an emphasis in the arts, there was a constant current of manipulation, domination, fear and favor… The abuse developed and ebbed at various intervals over the years and into puberty. The most graphic sexual abuse faded off for me when I was around seventeen years old but many inappropriate actions and attentions continued.... I came into my hotel room that night to find my mother and some of my sisters sitting on the bed crying with that look on their face I had seen so many times before. The coldest, blackest pit opened up in my stomach because no words needed to be said for me to know something had happened. How was I here again? I could not stay in denial about my past because it obviously wasn’t staying in the past even though at times I had tried so hard to forgive and forget. Things were not over. They had never been over. Sexual abuse was still happening. ". |

If you read Jessica's story in the link above, the dad was a violent, controlling monster that pretty much held the whole family captive to his demands. Extremely sad and disturbing, but not unheard of.  |
