Former Sons of Guns reality star Will Hayden was convicted for raping two preteen girls more than two decades apart, according to a report in the Baton Rouge website The Advocate.

Hayden, 51, who appeared on the Discovery Channel show that featured him working at his Louisiana-based business that sold custom firearms, was reportedly unanimously convicted by the jury on Friday.

According to The Advocate, the victims, a 15-year-old girl and 37-year-old woman, cried and hugged inside the courtroom as the verdicts were read in East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana on Friday.

"At the end of the day, this is the survivor's day today," said District Attorney Hillar Moore, reported WAFB.

One of the alleged teen victims said the incident occurred in the 1990s when she was around 12 or 13-years-old. The other victim claims she was 12-years-old at the time of the alleged incident in 2014, WAFB noted.

The victims and their families didn't speak with the media, but D.A. Moore said, of one of the victims, "This was a young child that was raped at a very young age and she chose to testify in front of the jury, in front of her abuser, and she actually threw up five times while testifying."

Hayden was found guilty on two counts of aggravated rape and one count of forcible rape, said the reports.

The ex-reality star will be sentenced on May 11, and aggravated rape carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Sons of Guns was canceled after five seasons in 2014 because of Hayden's arrest on the sexual charges.

After being convicted on Friday, Hayden also faces additional charges of sexual assault against his daughter.

Stephanie Hayden Ford, as Fox News has reported,  made some horrific accusations against her father Will on the Dr. Phil show.

Ford, who also appeared on Sons of Guns, claimed he fondled her when she was 12.
