DELANO, Calif. (AP) — “That ‘70s Show” actor Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions.

Authorities said Wednesday that the 47-year-old Masterson has been admitted to North Kern State Prison, and they released his first prison mug shot. The photo shows him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard.

This is the first I'm hearing of this - Yes I've been living under a rock. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what he did? The article said it happened in the 2000s but didn't give specifics.

Danny Masterson is a rapist and Scientologist.

He’s going gaol because Scientology couldn’t protect him from the consequences his actions forever.

Interesting, I've never seen that form of the word jail actually used today. Where are you from if I may ask?

Australia.

Jail's slowly edging out as the only spelling post-Americanisation, but I was taught gaol in the '90s so it's not super archaic here like it probably is in other Commonwealth countries.

At first I thought you were just trying to be an edgy teen or troll. This is interesting.

Oh how interesting, I went to school in the early 00's and we only ever learnt jail. Tbh, the only time I ever see gaol anymore is on historic gaols.

It's used heavily in Elden ring and was my exposure to the word

There is a Jaol Rd around where I used to live in Canada, it's the road the provincial jail is on.

Yes, but what did he do?

Did he put shit in people's drinks like Cosby?

Did he rape a girl behind a dumpster like one of the Affluenza Kids?

Is he just a disgusting person like Justin Roiland?

Or is he a good guy like David Bowie, only his victims didn't think so this time?

Damn, fuck scientologists.

I'd be guarding my property with a gun. Couldn't wait to bag one of those fuckers.

He drugged and raped women in Toronto

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

He used his power and money to bill Cosby women.
