30 years to life is what the judge sentenced Danny Masterson to. The actor from 'That 70's Show' will spend considerable time in jail despite pleading not guilty. Emotional statements from the alleged victims helped put Masterson behind bars. ABC News reported on Danny Masterson's sentence of 30 years to life in a celebrity crime news article:
Former "That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday after he was convicted of raping two women. A Los Angeles jury found Masterson, 47, guilty of two counts of forcible rape in May during a retrial of a case involving three women. Masterson will serve two 15-year sentences consecutively, one for each charge. He must also register as a sex offender.
The third count against Jane Doe No. 3 was declared a mistrial and has since been dismissed after prosecutors said they would not retry Masterson on the rape charge. Masterson pleaded not guilty to three counts of felony rape following accusations by three different women, including a former girlfriend. The alleged attacks took place between 2001 and 2003.
