A judge has sentenced "That '70s Show'' actor Danny Masterson to 30 years to life in prison for raping 2 women.
"This has been a long & arduous road for the victims of Mr. Masterson," read a statement from District Attorney George Gascón. "They not only survived his abuse, they also survived a system that is often not kind to victims."
Masterson, a member of the Church of Scientology, was a star on the hit sitcom "That '70s Show," which ran from 1998 to 2006. He was first accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, which kicked off an investigation by the LAPD. In June 2020, he was charged with raping 3 women, including his former girlfriend, in his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003. The 3 women had all met Masterson through the Church of Scientology.
"You are pathetic, disturbed and completely violent," one of the women said to Masterson in court this morning.
A deadlocked jury led to a mistrial last year. Prosecutors retried Masterson in May, informing jurors that he drugged the women's drinks, & that the church tried to silence the women. The jury found him guilty of 2 counts of rape, but were unable to reach a verdict in the allegation that he raped his longtime girlfriend.
