Former TLC star Toby Willis pleaded guilty to child rape.


Willis was the patriach of TLC’s former reality show “The Willis Family.” On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to four counts of rape and was sentenced to 40 years of imprisonment, People reported.



Julie Hibbs, the circuit court clerk in Cheatham County, Tennessee explained that Willis received a 25-year sentence for two counts of rape and 40-year sentence for the other two counts. The four sentences will run concurrently and will be served in their entirety. So, Willis will only be in prison for 40 years.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation started investigating Willis, 47, in August 2016 for sexual abuse involving an underage girl. The incident happened 12 years earlier when the girl was only between 9 and 12 years old.

Willis left his home in Ashland City to escape the law enforcement. He fled to Greenville Kentucky but was arrested on Sept. 9, 2016. He was initially charged with one count of rape, but three counts were added earlier this year, Billboard reported.

Willis and his family traveled around the country as a singing group. Aside from Willis and wife Brenda, their 12 children ages 5 to 24 sang and danced. They were popularly known as The Willis Clan. They catapulted to fame after reaching the quarter-finals of “America’s Got Talent” Season 9. Their series on TLC aired for two seasons and concluded in April 2016.

The Willis Clan already released a statement about the sentences and thanked their fans for “the outpouring of love and support during this most difficult year.” They were also grateful for the District Attorney’s office for its diligence and sensitivity in handling the case.

“Although the criminal case has concluded with Toby Willis receiving 40 years for the crimes he committed, the impact on the victims will remain much longer. The family is appreciative and grateful that people have respected their need for privacy during this trying time and asks for continued respect as they seek to move forward,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, Willis’ rape case is the third sex scandal that plagued TLC. In 2014, the network first canceled “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” after Mama June rekindled a romance with a convicted sex offender. In 2015, it axed “19 Kids and Counting” following Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal.

Over the years we have seen many instances of religious hypocrisy from members of the self righteous far right. Interestingly, while many of the far right condemn Islam for its supposed promotion of pedophilia, those same extremists remain silent in the face of the hypocrisy of perverse Pharisaism as conducted by others of their flock. Hopefully, some day these extremists will learn to apply a uniform standard of conduct and condemnation under all circumstances as required in their own Bible.

 

He won't be touching any kids for a loooonnnggg time.

40 years is an unimaginable sentence in Australia. You wouldn't get it if you killed your own mother. Good on you for having balls.

 

Typical, but not surprising.

 

Perhaps you could show me where Jesus ever promoted pedophillia? On the other hand we have Islam https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Pedophilia
Power hungry, morally bankrupt people will corrupt religion in order to enrich themselves and their perversions. But while you'll have these hypocrites preaching one thing and doing another those on the right do not support them and will condemn them and demand justice. They don't make excuses like the left does for their perverts.

 

typical is the opposite of surprising. nice job using words.

 

define "remain silent".

 

This story really struck a nerve huh?

 

hell no we went through this a decade ago, and a lot of people left the church over it.

don't see many muslims leaving their faith over terrorism...................................................

 

The ultimate red herring. What do Muslims have to do with this?

 

Christian professing Pharisees cover up for their perverts. Jesus condemned Pharisees for being that way - a message lost on these hypocrites.

 

Ew. The Quiverfulls are a very slimy bunch.

 

notice how he did not address the substance of the thread - typical response from the far right

 

Jesus's said to love everyone. Presumably including children under 10.

BOOM.

 

By contrast, the self righteous Pharisees in the GOP for many years insisted that it was the party of morality and family values and they condemned anyone who dared disagree with anything they said. All this to mask their Pharisaical hypocrisy and perversions.

Note how forum Republicans fail to condemn Willis the pervert. No surprise, actually.

 

Really ? You still go to a catholic church ?

 

First time hearing the name, or the (one of a million) reality show. How did you come across it and draw the conclusion that anyone else cares about some perv who will likely die in prison?

 

Sad but true.

 

Seems odd to paint an entire faith with the actions of this guy:

Thoughts on this?

DO IT AGAIN: Substitute teacher, 40, who had sex with her 17 year old boy student, is rearrested for violating probation with booze and Facebook.

 

You going to lump everyone on the right with a few Catholic officials who covered up crimes committed by a few priests?

 

Do you even get the hypocrisy in that response ?

 

I see it only if I try to think in a bizarro world of a Lib. Where up is down and left is right.

 

Never heard of him. But glad he's going away.
Never watched any of this shows listed.

Most people I know are Christians and don't condone child rape by anyone.

 

TBH, it sounds like your are more offended by their double standard than that this guy was molesting girls. Some people believe that Numbers 31:18 in the Bible condones having sex with young girls. Apparently having young brides historically used to be not that uncommon for adult men. Not condoning it, but putting the issue in perspective in relation to history and the Bible.

 

Regardless of political ideology, (all have slime adherents) He should be in the deepest darkest pit in the joint.

 

A Christian buddy of mine from the Ozarks told me that his mom married at age 13. No surprise for that part of the country and for other parts of the world.
