Following a protracted investigation into the allegations, he was arrested for alleged rape in 2020.
The first trial ended in a mistrial, but in the second trial, prosecutors could present additional evidence, such as allegations that Masterson used narcotics to control his victims and the involvement of Scientology.
Between 2001 and 2003, Masterson allegedly incapacitated and sexually assaulted three women at his California residence.
Several women, including a fourth woman in the early 2000s, came forward with sexual assault allegations against Danny Masterson after an investigation by the LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division.
Masterson was consequently withdrawn from “The Ranch” on Netflix and dropped by United Talent Agency.
Masterson responded by denying the allegations and stating that he intended to prosecute his ex-girlfriend and others involved for the harm they had caused to him and his family.
He was optimistic about his eventual dismissal and the opportunity to reveal the truth.
