Sons of Guns cast member Will Hayden was arrested on Saturday in Louisiana on suspicion of child molestation and “crime against nature.”
The 44-year-old Discovery Channel star was booked and released over the weekend after posting $150,000 bond. Hayden claims the accusations are false and come from a “bitter ex-girlfriend.”
According to TMZ, Hayden says that the mother to one of his daughters went to the cops “in retaliation” for him ending their relationship, claiming he abused their daughter.
The girl, who Hayden has been raising with his current wife, was interviewed by Child Protective Services and returned to his home in Louisiana.
Hayden’s older daughter Stephanie went to her dad’s defense saying, “There was never any impropriety in our home….He was and is a good father.”
The Sons of Guns star has since returned back to work as the investigation continues.
