Danny Masterson Loses Appeal of Rape Conviction

An appeals court has denied Danny Masterson's appeal regarding his 2023 rape conviction, upholding both the verdict and his 30-year prison sentence. In an 89-page ruling, a three-judge panel rejected all of the That 70s Show star's arguments. This included the specific claim that the trial judge exhibited bias against Scientology. The court's decision ensures that the original sentencing remains in effect, as the panel systematically dismissed each point raised by Masterson's legal team.
