East Baton Rouge Sheriff News

The founder and owner of Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge was arrested Tuesday evening and charged with the aggravated rape of a 12-year-old child, Casey Rayborn-Hicks, a spokesperson for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said.

The U.S. Marshal in East Baton Rouge Parish arrested William Hayden around 3 p.m. Tuesday. Hayden had a warrant out for his arrest and was apprehended in Livingston Parish as a fugitive from East Baton Rouge Parish.

Hayden is the star of Discovery's Channel reality TV show "Sons of Guns."

The alleged victim told deputies with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office that since March 2013, that Hayden had raped her almost daily, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

The victim says Hayden took her virginity when she was 11-year-old and would allegedly take her in his bedroom and rape, according to the affidavit. The victim told authorities she did not report the acts because she feared physical abuse from Hayden.

Initially, the victim said she didn't disclose any information because Hayden intimidated her when he allegedly told her, "Don't tell them nothing, because I'm all you got."

On Aug. 9, Hayden was arrested and booked on molestation charges of a juvenile and crimes against nature. Hayden reportedly told TMZ that charge was sparked from an ex-girlfriend's allegations. Red Jacket Firearms released a statement denying those allegations. Hicks said the Tuesday charges stem from the Aug. 9 arrest.

"We acknowledge that allegations of child abuse were made against Mr. Will Hayden," the company statement read nearly two weeks ago. "This was reported by someone intent on smearing his reputation."

Hayden bonded out of East Baton Rouge Parish Prison after his first arrest, posting a $150,000 bond.

Around 6:30 p.m., Red Jacket Firearms released the following statement on its Facebook page:

Today, Red Jacket Firearms has received complete legal separation as an entity, from Will Hayden. We will continue to operate, although with heavy hearts and promise to do everything in our power to fill customer orders, back orders and provide support to those affected by these new developments.

Ten days ago, Hayden's daughter, Stephanie Hayden Ford, who also appears on the show, denied the allegations of molestation and posted the following statement on her fan Facebook page.

"Guys the show is NOT cancelled! We so appreciate the outcry of injustice but its not true, I guess some ppl just need ratings lol! We are on a hold with filming while my family takes care of a few things. You guys are the best fans ever & we love you so much! Thank u for standing strong with us!"

Laurie Goldberg, a spokesperson for the Discovery Channel declined to comment on the show's future or any allegations relating to Hayden.

Dang. I really want these allegations proven false. We will see
when the facts come out, but I really do wonder if he is being
set-up. Either way (mother or father), one parent has decimated
their daughter's well-being. I hope she gets counseling.

I've never seen this show.

Sadly, many exes do this kind of stuff.  I pray the TRUTH comes out.

There are responses posted online that appear to be from his older daughter
and his son-in-law that, if authentic, appear to lend credence to his alleged guilt.  

When the first allegations came out, at first his oldest daughter stood up for him and denied he was a pervert.  It is my understanding that she is now admitting it and was perhaps herself a victim.

Do you have a link?

It took me forever to find this content again.   I don't know if they are fake, but if this content
was supposedly posted, it was removed from their sites from what I understand.   There were
two screens that I saw that were allegedly from Stephanie.   Kris, her husband, is a musician, so a
poem would seem consistent in his way of expressing himself if he wanted to resist picking
up a weapon.   However, I don't know if this material is accurate and it has been said that Kris
said his writing was misunderstood so it was pulled.   Will Hayden has not been convicted of
any crime, but that certainly could change.

Just because this couldn't possibly get worse (enter anger/sarcasm emoticon), Stephanie, Will's older daughter, is set to be on Dr. Phil's show airing on Thursday.   I hope she gets $600,000 from this *other* opportunistic jackass.   Just sayin'.  IMHO.  -IMFO

'Sons Of Guns' Star William Hayden Charged With Rape Of Another 12-Year-Old Girl

Authorities in Louisiana have added a new rape charge to the list of charges against William Hayden, an actor who starred in the reality television series "Sons of Guns."

Hayden, 49, was charged Monday with forcible rape, after a victim came forward and alleged that the man raped her 22 years ago, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office. The alleged victim said she was 12 years old when the rape occurred.

The woman went to police after the Hayden's much-publicized arrest in August, on charges of molestation of a juvenile and aggravated crimes against nature.

According to a probable cause affidavit in that case, the victim said that Hayden raped her and took her virginity at 11 years old, and continued to abuse her almost daily over the next year.

WAFB reports that four victims have now made rape allegations against Hayden. In addition to the new charge, he faces aggravated rape charges in East Baton Rouge Parish and an aggravated rape and an indecent behavior with a juvenile charge in Livingston Parish.

Discovery Channel, which aired "Sons of Guns," has cancelled the show in the wake of the investigation. Hayden is the founder of Red Jacket Firearms, a gun store featured in the show. In a statement, the business said that it has received complete legal separation from Hayden.

Following his arrest Aug. 8, Hayden told TMZ that his ex-girlfriend had made false allegations about abusing their daughter.

On Monday, TMZ reported that Hayden's older daughter, Stephanie Ford, had also accused her father of raping her. Ford had initially defended her father when the first allegations of abuse were reported.
