Danny Masterson, a former star of “That 70’s Show,” was just given his sentence. Masterson received 30 years in prison for the rape of two women more than 20 years ago. This is not only a blow to Masterson, but it will have a ripple effect for the Church of Scientology, of which Masterson is a member.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n added, “My hope is that this sentence will somehow bring them peace and that their bravery will be an example to others.<\/p>\n
“One of my top priorities is to ensure that Los Angeles will no longer be a hunting ground for Hollywood elite who feel entitled to prey on women.\u201d<\/p>\n
