LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Danny Masterson, famous for his role in the popular TV series 'That '70s Show', faced charges of three counts of rape using force or fear, involving three different women in 2020. These alleged incidents occurred between 2001 and 2003. The charges stemmed from multiple women who accused Masterson of sexual assault.
On Wednesday, May 31, Masterson was found guilty on two of the three counts of rape in his second trial. The jury, composed of seven women and five men, deliberated for seven days over a two-week period before reaching a verdict. However, they were unable to reach a verdict on the third count, which accused Masterson of sexually assaulting a long-time girlfriend. The vote was 8-4 in favor of conviction on that count. During the court hearing, Danny's wife, Bijou Phillips, was reported to be present. However, other members of his family were allegedly not in attendance.
