Cela signifie qu'il devra purger au moins trente ans avant de pouvoir prétendre à une libération conditionnelle. La BBC rapporte que cette décision a été rendue à la suite de sa condamnation pour deux des trois chefs d'accusation de v*ol portés contre lui, relate le journal numérique Ipnoze.
Ces v*ols ont eu lieu à son domicile entre 2001 et 2003.
L'affaire contre Masterson a connu deux procès. Le premier, en octobre 2022, s'est soldé par un vice de procédure en raison d'une impasse du jury.
Cependant, lors du second procès qui a débuté en avril 2023, il a été déclaré coupable de deux des trois chefs d'accusation malgré avoir plaidé non-coupable.
Après ce verdict, l'acteur a été arrêté sur-le-champ.
Une grande partie de sa renommée a été grâce à That '70s Show, où il jouait aux côtés d'acteurs tels que Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher et Laura Prepon.
D'ailleurs, il a collaboré avec Ashton Kutcher sur la série Netflix The Ranch. Cependant, face aux allégations de v*ol, les producteurs et Netflix l'ont retiré de la distribution.
Les allégations à son encontre ont émergé en 2017, déclenchant une enquête qui a abouti à sa condamnation récente.

@unxnown.news A judge sentenced «That '70s Show» show star Danny Masterson to 30 years to life in prison Thursday for raping two women, giving them some relief after they spoke in court about the decades of damage he inflicted. The actor, who has been in custody since May, sat in court wearing a suit. Masterson watched the women without visible reaction as they spoke. He maintains his innocence and his attorneys plan to appeal. The other woman Masterson was found guilty of raping said he «has not shown an ounce of remorse for the pain he caused.» She told the judge, «I knew he belonged behind bars for the safety of all the women he came into contact with. I am so sorry, and I'm so upset. I wish I'd reported him sooner to the police.» Masterson waived his right to speak before he was sentenced and had no visible reaction after the judge's decision, nor did the many family members sitting beside him. His wife, actor Bijou Phillips, was tearful earlier in the hearing. After the hearing, Holley said in a statement that «Mr. Masterson did not commit the crimes for which he was convicted.» She said a team of appellate lawyers has identified «a number of significant evidentiary and constitutional issues» with his convictions, which they are confident will be overturned. Prosecutors alleged that Masterson used his prominence in the Church of Scientology — where all three women were also members at the time — to avoid consequences for decades after the attacks, and the women blamed the church for their hesitancy in going to police about Masterson.
