Actor Danny Masterson Loses Appeal, Sentence Stands
27 Oct
Summary
- Actor Danny Masterson's appeal of his rape convictions was rejected.
- His 30-year sentence for the charges will now be upheld.
- Masterson was accused by three women of rape at his home around 2003.
Danny Masterson's attempt to overturn his rape convictions has been unsuccessful. A three-judge panel issued an 89-page ruling that dismissed all of the actor's appeal arguments. This decision confirms that Masterson's 30-year prison sentence will be carried out as originally handed down.
The convictions are related to accusations made by three women who alleged they were raped by Masterson at his residence in the Hollywood Hills. These events allegedly occurred around the year 2003. While an initial trial in 2022 ended with a hung jury on all counts, a subsequent retrial in 2023 led to guilty verdicts on two of the three charges.
