Soon after the cancellation, daughter and co-star Stephanie Hayden-Ford went from defending her father against the rape charges to claiming that she was also victimized as a child.
Will Hayden’s criminal activity obviously started long before he ever bolstered weapons on TV for Sons of Guns, which premiered in 2011.
Other star Kris Ford was later arrested for child abuse and assault of a minor, and Hayden-Ford was then arrested for assault, since it was her child involved.
Focusing on the legally troubled company Red Jacket Firearms, the series lasted for five seasons and came to an abrupt end in 2014 when multiple charges were brought against Hayden for child endangerment, child rape and other heinous crimes.
