Actor Faces Rape Charges

Danny Masterson, best known for his role on "That '70s Show," is facing rape charges. The actor was arrested on June 17, 2020, and charged with three counts of rape by force or fear. The alleged incidents occurred between 2001 and 2003, and involve three separate women.

Masterson has denied the allegations and his attorney has stated that the charges are politically motivated. The actor is currently out on bail and is due back in court on September 18, 2020, for a preliminary hearing.

Controversy Surrounding the Case

The case has been controversial, with some critics claiming that the Church of Scientology, of which Masterson is a member, has been involved in covering up the allegations. Masterson has been a vocal supporter of the church, and some of the alleged victims have claimed that they were pressured by the church not to report the incidents to law enforcement.

Despite the controversy, the case is moving forward and Masterson could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
