Given the serious and horrific nature of the charges against Will Hayden we have decided to halt further production of 'Sons of Guns' and cancel the series the network said in a statement.
Hayden is accused of raping a minor almost daily since March 2013 and taking her virginity when she was 11 years old. TMZ reports the girl is Hayden s daughter.
During an interview with detectives the alleged victim said she did not report the sexual abuse because she was afraid Hayden would hurt her. The most recent abuse of the now 12 year old girl occurred during July 2014 according to the documents.

According to police documents the alleged victim claims that Hayden told her don t tell them nothing because I m all you got.
Hayden was booked on Wednesday and his bail is set at $250 000. There was a warrant out for Hayden s arrest and The Times Picayune reports he was apprehended in Livingston as a fugitive from East Baton Rouge.
Discovery Channel s reality show Sons of Guns follows Hayden and his Red Jacket Firearms company which buys sells designs and rebuilds firearms.
The company distanced itself from the reality star on Tuesday posting a statement on its website.
Red Jacket Firearms LLC has initiated and received full legal separation as an entity from William M. Hayden the statement read. With heavy hearts we will be continuing to operate and ensure the fulfillment of new customer orders back orders and to provide support to those affected by these new developments.
Earlier this month on Aug. 9 Hayden was arrested for molestation of a juvenile and aggravated crimes against nature. He posted his $150 000 bond and was released. At the time his lawyer told FOX411 the charges were stemmed from a conflict with a fired ex employee who was seeking revenge.
His lawyer did not respond immediately to a separate request for comment on Wednesday.
Following the initial allegations his daughter Stephanie Hayden Ford who appears on the show with her dad took to her Facebook page to deny reports that the hit series was in trouble.
