NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Toby Willis exercised autocratic control over his 12 musical children for 25 years. Despite the fact that the father was also sexually abusing at least four of his young daughters, as featured on TLC's 'The Willis Family,' no one dared to rebel against him. Some of the other children were beaten so severely that they had bloody bruises. Currently serving a 40-year term for child rape, Willis, 52, is inmate No 581910 at the Tennessee State Prison in Tiptonville. His oldest child, the musician Jessica Willis Fisher, bravely alerted authorities about him in 2016.

Jessica's brand-new memoir 'Unspeakable', details both her terrifying upbringing in a fundamentalist Christian household and the horror that followed her attempt to leave the family six years ago. The Willis family originally gained notoriety in 2014 when they took part in 'America's Got Talent' season 9. They later appeared on the brief-lived TLC program in 2015 and 2016.
