JUSTICE SERVED! Danny Masterson SENTENCED To 30 YEARS In Prison – BREAKING NEWS! – YouTube
In a recent verdict, actor Danny Masterson, known for his role in “That ’70s Show,” has been sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for the rapes of two women that occurred in 2003. The sentencing took place in the Los Angeles Superior Court, where Masterson had been in custody since May. The judge, Charlaine F. Olmedo, delivered the sentence after hearing emotional statements from the victims, who described the enduring trauma caused by the incidents.
One victim expressed that rape was akin to a “theft of the spirit” and condemned Masterson as “pathetic, disturbed, and completely violent.” The other victim lamented the lack of remorse on Masterson’s part and wished she had reported him to the police sooner.
After an initial jury failed to reach a verdict, Masterson was retried on all counts earlier in the year and found guilty on two counts. The attacks occurred at his Hollywood home in 2003, during the peak of his fame on “That ’70s Show.” The third count resulted in a hung jury vote of 8-4 in favor of the conviction.
Masterson’s defense argued for a lesser sentence, emphasizing his role as a father and community servant. Prosecutors alleged that Masterson’s association with the Church of Scientology, to which the victims also belonged, shielded him from accountability for years.
Despite the defense’s claim of consensual acts, the victims testified that they were drugged before the assaults. The issue of drugging could play a role in Masterson’s planned appeal.
This case is significant in the #MeToo era, showcasing a successful prosecution in Hollywood alongside the conviction of Harvey Weinstein.
