Eric Charbonneau/Invision/AP An appeals court has denied Danny Masterson‘s appeal of his 2023 conviction on rape charges, upholding the verdict and his 30-year prison sentence.
In an 89-page ruling, a three-judge panel rejected each of Masterson’s arguments in turn, including the claim that the trial judge was biased against Scientology.
Masterson, a star of “That 70s Show,” was found guilty of raping two women at his Hollywood Hills home in 2003. The jurors were unable to reach a verdict on a third count involving a former girlfriend who alleged she, too, was raped in 2001.
