Will Hayden Arrested: 'Sons of Guns' Star Accused of Child Molestation, Denies Ex-Girlfriend's 'Vengeful' Claims

Reports confirm that popular "Sons of Guns" star Will Hayden was arrested on Saturday (August 9), after an unidentified ex-girlfriend accused him of molesting their young daughter.

According to the infamous gossip webloid TMZ, Hayden was booked in East Baton Rouge, Louisana for charges including molestation of a child and a crime against nature. But Hayden insists that he's an innocent man, and his former baby mama's just angry.

He was released later Saturday on a $150,000 bond.

Hayden claims that his ex-lover is just bitter, and such shocking allegations are pure nonsense.

The Discovery Channel reality star tells TMZ that just about a week ago, his daughter's mother (now estranged) went to the cops and said he'd touched their child in an inappropriate way. Apparently he believes she did so "in retaliation for him ending their relationship."

Right now, this young girl is being raised by Hayden and his new wife. He claims that she was recently interviewed by Child Protective Services, and there was no proof of any wrongdoing. She later returned home and Hayden remains fully cooperative with authorities.

Meanwhile, Hayden's older daughter (and co-star) Stephanie reveals, "There was never any impropriety in our home. He was and is a good father."

"Sons of Guns" is a somewhat controversial television series that centers on Red Jacket Firearms LLC, a gun shop owned and operated by Hayden:
