Discovery Channel's representative has released a statement saying:  "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." This has been reported to TMZ on Wednesday.

According to the documents obtained from the police, the twelve-year-old daughter claimed she was "orally and vaginally raped" and it started back in March of 2013. She said that she kept mum about this since she was afraid her father would hurt her physically.

The girl said that the most recent abuse happened on July this year. She also claimed that her father told her not to tell anything to the police because he is all that she has. The girl was Hayden's daughter from another woman who is now his ex.

The 'Sons of Guns' star was initially arrested on August 9 but was released as he posted a US$150,000 bail. Hayden said that the accusations come from the "bitter" ex-girlfriend and denied that there was any truth in the allegations.  

During the first arrest, his elder daughter Stephanie, who is also a star in the reality show, claimed that her father was and is a good father. She added that there was never any kind of impropriety in their home.

Stephanie also posted on her Facebook page with regards to their show being cancelled. She wrote: "Guys the show is NOT cancelled! We so appreciate the outcry of injustice but [it's] not true, I guess some [people] just need ratings... We are on a hold with filming while my family takes care of a few things. You guys are the best fans ever & we love you so much! Thank u for standing strong with us!"

Hayden is still behind bars and was posted with a bail of US$250,000.
