Additionally, Jessica Willis Fisher, one of Toby’s daughters, shared her father’s abusive behaviors when she just three years old on her website. She said,
As far back as I can remember, I was sexually abused by my father. I figure I was around three years old in some of the earliest memories. Initially, I had no way to know that anything was wrong. When I did eventually come to realize the fact, I had no way to accurately express what was happening to me. There followed immense shame, distrust and hurt throughout my childhood – even in the happy times. Thus ran the two parallel storylines that became my life.
Following the incident, Willis’ elder sister has promised to take care of their younger siblings.
