Danny Masterson, star of “That ’70s Show,” has been sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after he was found guilty of raping two women in 2003.

The sentence was the maximum allowed by law. It means Masterson will be eligible for parole after serving 25 1/2 years, but can be held in prison for life.
Masterson waived his right to speak before he was sentenced and had no visible reaction after the judge’s decision, nor did the many family members sitting beside him. His wife, actor Bijou Phillips, was tearful earlier in the hearing.

It amazes me how much Danny and his wife looks alike…like brother and sister.
And Biden and Hillary walk with Hunter. This is bs
The Jane doe’s just want the money.
Somebody sister going to be happy to meet your butt
Every dog gets his day in court!! He won’t be smiling nor smirking in jail. I promise you that!!
Just call it a witch hunt like President spray tan. Millions will believe you even though the courts and judges are professionals who do their job. Of that doesnt work blame the DEEEEEEPSTAAAAAAATE
Could you imagine from going from fortune and fame to prison for the rest of your life!? Wow!!
SCUMS LIKE HIM BELONG IN PRISON- thank goodness that justice prevailed!
2003!? Why did this take so long? That’s crazy too. It took 20 years to convict him? Wtf
Damn that’s crazy! I used to think he was sooo fine. I met him and he was nice.
Before everyone jumps to conclusions look at the facts of the case. These women came forward many many years ago when it happened but were suppressed by the church of scientology. I'm so glad they FINALLY are getting justice. Just sad to think that for every Danny Masterson getting convicted there are countless others who evade justice because no one will believe the victims.
I haven’t followed this but Why is his sentence so much greater than others convicted of rape?I
I just don’t understand waiting so many years to come forward like wtf
To all the commenters here shaming the victims or saying – why did they not report before ,or saying comments like "really? 20 years later? this is ridiculous"- STFU. Read about the case before you let stupid things out of your mouth. THEY DID REPORT. GO EDUCATE YOURSELF before commenting. My god, you make me feel ashamed I am a human being
But hes cool….as someones future but buddy!
Back to point and convict? (Theylied lawsuit khoraki vs Longoria)
I’m so happy this got settled for the victims .. Scientology played a strong role in him, avoiding prosecution!! That whole organization is shady!! Now go meet your girl friend!’ 👋👋👋
20 years ago? This is ridiculous
Sorry to hear about the O. D
What's the over/under on time?
I'm honestly super surprised at the sentence. Not just bc he's an actor bit bc in the US rape convictions rarely receive such harsh sentences. Hopefully this will be the point where that begins to change.
It wasnt 30 years to life. It b was life no parole in 30 years
Dont they have statue of limitations? And why didnt the women report it when it happened. Good god 20 yrss later. I think that is ridiculous. I had this happèn in 1983. Can i go back and charge them. NO. anð i woud not do that aftèr all that time.
Is this the first heavy sentence ever given to an actor / Scientology member who raped without killing? If it is, historians should take note. I am relieved that justice finally has been done after a lot of people thought Scientology and a constantly repeated half-hour sitcom guaranteed a slap on the wrist. Possibly the appeal of the sitcom that includes Mr. Masterson has lost its sense of humor and its entire appeal. If it has, that is good. The real 1970s were bad enough. A stupid half-hour sitcom views the Me Decade through rose-colored glasses, and that makes memories of the decade even more painful for those who are forced to watch reruns in doctors’ office waiting rooms and other tension-filled public places. Mr. Masterson’s two victims have helped expose the sitcom for what it is : tasteless humor based on false generalizations. According to the writers, in the 1970s every young white person did this and did that. Oh, and does anyone ever point out that throughout the real 1970s, the number of reported rapes skyrocketed? Which character on the tasteless sitcom, if any, mentions even one time that a female must learn how to defend herself against a potential rapist?
only rape going on here is the Raping of the American Laws of Statute of Limitations
A lot of actors and actresses think that they are untouchable and should be able to do whatever they want and nothing ever happening to them. And if something like that happens, the first thing they yell is I am a start I’m better then anyone. You don’t understand what it’s like. B.S. they need the same punishment any of us would get !!!
What a complete moron and evil person, he didn't have to bill Cosby them because he had so many offers from girls but maybe he was an evil scumbag on the down low!!! Maybe bubba do the same to him without drugging him, give him an offer either the easy way or hard way , for me their is no easy way!!!!
Hell yeah
All these pedophiles getting slaps on the wrist literally months in jail and he gets 30 years!!!! Awful just awful rape should never go unpunished but there are literally hundreds of millions of men masterbating to child rape in porn!!!!!!!!!! And this is what gets 30 years!!!! Tons of women saying he is so gross what a scumbag and their bfs and husbands are masterbating to girls under 18 being raped on the internet —- you are all blind!!!!
What a scumbag. Assign him cell with Big D Willie
In and out 😅
Meet bubba now ✌🏽💡💡
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen und Musik!🍒
