East Baton Rouge Sheriff's OfficeSons of Guns star Will Hayden was indicted by a Baton Rouge grand jury Wednesday on three counts of rape, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Hayden's indictment comes about four months after the 49-year-old was arrested for allegedly molesting a young girl. Days after his August arrest, Hayden was formally charged with raping his 12-year-old daughter. The victim stated that Hayden allegedly raped her almost daily since March 2013, according to legal docs obtained by E! News at the time
The victim also said Hayden took her virginity when she was 11-year-old and would allegedly take her into "his bedroom where the Defendant removed victims clothing and raped her orally and then vaginally," the papers state. The victim told authorities that this occurred almost daily but did not report the acts because she received "threats of physical abuse from the Defendant."
Despite his arrest, Hayden's oldest daughter Stephanie defended him against the rape allegations, telling TMZ in over the summer, "There was never any impropriety in our home. He was and is a good father."
Discovery also cancelled Sons of Guns in August over the controversy. "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," Discovery said.
If convicted of aggravated rape, Hayden faces a mandatory life sentence.
