Rape allegations against US actor Danny Masterson have been in the air since 2017. Now a court has found the well-known Scientologist guilty – on at least two counts.
US actor and well-known Scientologist Danny Masterson has been found guilty of rape. A Los Angeles court found the 47-year-old guilty of raping two women between 2001 and 2003.
The jury could not agree on a third rape allegation. After the guilty verdict, Masterson was taken into custody with a sentence to be announced at a later date. He faces up to 30 years in prison.

Masterson is best known for his role in the series “That ’70s Show”, in which he starred alongside Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher from 1998. Allegations of rape against him had already become known in 2017.
The Netflix streaming service then announced its collaboration with the actor on the series “The Ranch”. Masterson said at the time the allegations stemmed from the producer of an anti-Scientology documentary series.
