Toby Willis Update: Attorney Says Toby May Not Be Competent To Stand Trial, Hearing Reset For Fourth Time
Fans of The Willis Clan have been anxiously waiting for family patriarch Toby Willis to finally have a hearing regarding allegations that he raped a young family member roughly 12 years ago. However, for the fourth time since his September 9 arrest, Willis’ hearing has been postponed. This time, the postponement was at the request of Toby’s defense lawyer, who says the father-of-12 may not be competent to stand trial and needs a psychiatric evaluation. The judge agreed and the hearing was rescheduled until March 1, 2017.
The Tennessean reports that Willis family fans and supporters will have to wait at least three more months to hear Toby Willis respond to allegations of raping an unnamed 9- to 10-year-old female family member. The father-of-12 was arrested on September 9 of this year for charges of raping a minor. The alleged rape reportedly happened in 2004 while Toby was staying with the family member in a Nashville hotel.

Investigators note that the rape was reported to them on August 29 and enough evidence was found for an arrest warrant to be issued on September 9. However, Toby Willis reportedly fled his home in a bid to escape arrest and hitchhiked his way to Kentucky where he was eventually found and arrested. He has since been extradited back to Tennessee.
