Actor Danny Masterson has been given a jail sentence of 30 years to life for raping two women 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
Masterson, best known for his role in TV comedy That 70’s Show, was handed the prison term after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine F Olmedo heard from the women he assaulted, who detailed their trauma and suffering.<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old US actor, who has been in custody since May, sat in his suit without a reaction as the pair spoke.<\/p>\n
“When you raped me, you stole from me,” said one woman.<\/p>\n
“That’s what rape is, a theft of the spirit.”<\/p>\n
“You are pathetic, disturbed and completely violent. The world is better off with you in prison.”<\/p>\n
The other woman, who he also raped in 2003, said Masterson “has not shown an ounce of remorse for the pain he caused”.<\/p>\n
She told the judge: “I knew he belonged behind bars for the safety of all the women he came into contact with. I am so sorry, and I’m so upset. I wish I’d reported him sooner to the police.”<\/p>\n
A mistrial was declared in December 2022 after a jury failed to reach a verdict on three rape counts, and he was retried on all charges.<\/p>\n
