‘Sons of Guns’ reality show star Will Hayden arrested for rape of 11-year-old child

Source: THE RAW STORY

The star of the Discovery Channel’s reality show Sons of Guns was arrested Tuesday on charges of aggravated rape of his daughter.

According to FoxNews.com, the East Baton Rouge, Louisiana Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Hayden is accused of raping his 14-year-old daughter in a series of assaults that began with him taking her virginity at the age of 11.

TMZ reported that Hayden’s daughter is backing up the allegations, claiming that her father forced her to participate in oral and vaginal sex “almost daily” for the past three years.

When asked why she didn’t report the sexual assaults earlier, the girl said that she was afraid her father would hurt her.

“Don’t tell them nothing,” he reportedly told her, “because I’m all you’ve got.”

Sons of Guns is a five-season reality program that centers around Hayden’s business, Red Jacket Firearms, which sells, builds, designs and repairs guns. Red Jacket specializes in weapons fabrication and modification.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune said, “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.”

Hayden was released on $150,000 bail. The charges in Tuesday’s arrest stem from information that has come to light since Aug. 9.

This news was much discussed yesterday. Discovery Channel has cancelled the show, and Red Jacket Firearms has quickly maneuvered to sever all ties with him.

-- Gunnut. Check.
-- Reality teevee star. Check.
-- Raped his teenaged daughter daily for four years. Check.

Sounds to me as though he's Republican Presidential material. Or VP at least.

Because people who ask boneheaded questions like that should be punched in the face. As if an 11 year old abused child is not going to be scared out of her mind.

Yeah - it's all her fault for not reporting it earlier. What contemptible human beings they are.

Apparently our state government is in the habit of restoring gun rights to convicted felons, even violent ones and sexual predators.
