Bail has been increased to $350,000 for Will Hayden, the founder of Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge and the star of "Sons of Guns," a now-canceled reality TV short on Discovery Channel.
Hayden, who is being held at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, was booked on additional count of forcible rape on Monday for the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl that occurred nearly 22 years ago in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Hayden was booked on aggravated rape on Aug. 26, in which he's accused of raping a 12-year-old girl that allegedly started in March 2013.
The victim from 22 years ago came forward when Hayden's arrest was made public and told authorities that she was raped by Hayden while staying with his family at their apartment on Cedarcreat Avenue when she was 12-years-old.
The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office brought similar charges against Hayden on Sept. 5. Hayden was booked with one count of aggravated rape and indecent behavior with a juvenile. The aggravated rape charge stems from an incident in March 2013 involving a girl who was 11-years-old at the time.
A second woman, who recently came forward, told LPSO Detectives that Hayden had conducted in indecent behavior with her back in 1995 when she was 12 or 13-years-old.
"LPSO currently has a 'hold' placed on Hayden – meaning, once he makes bond in EBR, he'll be transferred back to the Livingston Parish Detention Center," Lori Steele, a spokesperson for LPSO said.
In Livingston Parish, bond for the aggravated rape charge is set at $100,000 and bond for the indecent behavior with a juvenile charge is set at $25,000.
"There is shocking personal and company history to be told about the behavior of the accused; Will Hayden, a "family man" who controlled Stephanie's life and much of the content behind the hit reality show "Sons of Guns" on Discovery Channel for the last 5 years," Jill Trammell, owner of Patriot Promotions PR and spokesperson for Stephanie Hayden Ford.
Trammell says Stephanie Hayden Ford, Will Hayden's daughter, will appear on the syndicated daytime talk show Dr. Phil on Thursday, (Sept. 11) in an exclusive interview.
"In the interview, Ford talks to Dr. Phil about what she thinks of the allegations against her father, and if she believes them to be true," a prepared statement said. "And, for the first time publicly, Ford makes new allegations against her father."
Stephanie Hayden Ford released the following statement about Thursday's appearance:
"I decided to appear on Dr. Phil to tell my story exclusively because I know he would take it seriously. With my father now in jail, everyone in my family and in our company are now talking openly for the first time. I have nothing to gain from this exclusive interview, but to begin living in truth and getting help for myself and my sister. I just pray that our story will somehow prevent another victim from staying silent."
