‘That ’70s Show' actor Danny Masterson gets 30 years to life in prison for rapes of 2 women

Great, now do the Scientologist pricks that protected him for years and threatened his victims.

By the time he gets out, he'll be That 70's Guy.

Turns out red was right all along.

Is it just me or does 30 years to life seem longer than you would expect? I'm not trying to argue what he deserves or what the correct amount of time is for rape. I'm just saying that if I had to guess what kind of sentence someone would get for 2 counts of rape, I'd have guessed something like 15 years at most. It seems especially unusual given that he's rich, white, and presumably a first-time offender.

If the sentence is unusually long, would that mean an appeal is more likely to be successful?

Wooops I guess he’s not rich enough to pay off judges and prosecutors. Sucks to suck.

Man, I love That 70s Show, but so much fuckery and creepy shit happened during production. The irony being that this guy could have had any woman he wanted without assaulting them. He was the "cool funny" one on the show. Fucking gross piece of shit.

Now do trump.

Just for curiosity's sake, what did he do to deserve 25 1/2 years before he can be eligible for parole that convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner didn't do when he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster? They were both convicted in California. Why did Turner, who has been going by Allen Turner and was last seen in the Dayton, OH area, do differently such that his custodial sentence was for 6 months, roughly 2% of the custodial time that Masterson will serve?

Let me be clear that my issue here isn't that Masterson was penalized too much. He took two women's lives and he should spend the rest of his in prison for it. It's just that I see two rapists, one was righteously destroyed by the justice system and the other whose court proceedings essentially made it seem like no one wanted to punish him at all but they very reluctantly felt like they had to.

He finally got what he deserved. Let's just hope that he can't hurt anyone ever again.

Hello Wisconsin Incarceration!

I believe the song "incurably innocent" by At The Drive-In is about this piece of shit. He sexually assaulted Cedric's wife.

Bastard is better behind bars.

I feel like the church 9f scientology should be held accountable here as well as they tried to hush the women.

I feel sorry for his castmates. I'm sure they were counting on decades of reruns and residual checks.

Can’t Hyde from that.

He should have gone into politics instead of acting. Then the case would have been dropped.

I never followed this case. So he raped 2 women? Or at least that's what the sentence is for. A sentence as excessive as that does not seem wise to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any sympathy for rapists. I do have sympathy for the victims.

But what does this sentence really send as a message to criminals? From a criminal's point of view you can just as well kill all witnesses, especially the victims, if it won't make the consequences of being caught any worse but reduced the chances of being caught. This is really, really unwise.

well shit. I really liked him, I was hoping it wasn't true. oh well, fuck that guy then.

BoJack, is it you?

I re-watched Beethoven's 2nd a few weeks ago and everything made sense now.

Charles Grodin was always suspicious of Danny Masterson's character right from the start, up until the very end. Danny also has a weird reaction when Ryce says she was looking for Taylor, knowing his opportunity to introduce her to Scientology was blown.

Dumbass

Let me understand. You are an american soldier, torture and kill war prisoners, 6 months and disonorably discharge. You kill 200.000 people and you are a war hero ( Oppenheimer ). You rape two american women, 30 years? And the world should follow american ethics?

He deserves it.

When he gets out he can be "that sexual criminal in his 70s"

Good.

I understand your point but you're not really making a lot of sense with your logic here
