Danny Masterson has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on two counts of rape.
The former “That ’70s Show” star was sentenced on Thursday in a Los Angeles court. With two out of his three counts resulting in a guilty verdict, the 30-year sentence was expected.
In May, Masterson was found guilty on two charges, while the jury remained undecided on the third count. The incidents in question occurred between 2001 and 2003, during the actor’s time on his comedy series.

Masterson’s first trial took place in October, but it resulted in a mistrial a month later due to the jury’s inability to reach a verdict. Despite his legal team’s efforts to have the case dismissed, a retrial was ordered, and Masterson was ultimately found guilty.
Masterson’s attorney, Philip Cohen, stated after the mistrial that the case hinged on the credibility of the accusers, with their ever-changing statements being a key factor in the defense’s argument.
Since his conviction, Masterson had been held in “administrative segregation” at the L.A. County Men’s Central Jail, separate from the general population. This is the same facility where high-profile inmates like O.J. Simpson and Suge Knight have been housed.
