Scientologist Actor Danny Masterson Convicted Of Rape
These psychotic cult members from Scientology are often able to get away with their crimes, but not this time. Actor and Scientologist Danny Masterson was finally found guilty today of raping two women (his first rape trial ended with a hung jury, so this was a retrial). Via Hollywood Reporter:
Danny Masterson was found guilty on Wednesday of raping two women at his Los Angeles home in the early 2000s. But in a split verdict, the jury couldn’t reach a decision on another sexual assault charge.
The jurors, seven women and five men, convicted the That ’70s Show on forcible rape charges involving two women. They were split on a charge relating to ex-girlfriend Chrissie Carnell-Bixler, who has publicly identified herself as one of Masterson’s accusers, with most favoring guilty, eight to four.

Masterson was taken into custody and now faces 30 years in prison. Sentencing will be later this summer.
