Well-known actor Danny Masterson, whose net worth is around $8 million, was recently found guilty on two counts of r*pe and will face a possible sentencing of 30 years. Danny was accused of r*ping another woman but that count is now stated to be a mistrial.

The judgment was given on the afternoon of May 31, 2023, and the sentencing hearing will happen on August 4 this year. Masterson is now in custody after the verdict and was spotted coming out in handcuffs from the courthouse.

The third victim also expressed her opinion following the verdict, saying that she was dissatisfied due to the mistrial in her count. The victim shared a statement through her attorney Boies Schiller Flexner, saying that she was unhappy with the mistrial and expressed her gratitude to the jury.

She stated that she is happy that Danny Masterson will be facing criminal punishment. However, she added she was devastated that he would not get punished for the crime of which she was a victim:

"Despite my disappointment in this outcome, I remain determined to secure justice, including in civil court, where I, along with my co-plaintiffs, will shine a light on how Scientology and other conspirators enabled and sought to cover up Masterson's monstrous behavior."

The second victim also stated that she was disappointed that Masterson was not punished on all three charges. However, she added that she is satisfied that Masterson will be sentenced.

Danny Masterson was charged with s*xual assault in 2017

Four women accused Danny Masterson of s*xual assault in 2017, claiming that they were r*ped after Masterson spiked their drinks. Masterson initially rejected the claims but the women sued Masterson and the Church of Scientology, charging them with stalking and harassment.

The victims were aged between 23 and 28 and singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala's wife, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, was also one of the four women. The incidents happened in 2001 and 2003.

Masterson pleaded not guilty in January 2021 and a hearing started in May the same year. The judge ordered him to surrender his passport on his next appearance at the court the following month.

During the next appearance, he denied the claims and his lawyer stated that the three women filed a lawsuit against him in arbitration.
