Actor Danny Masterson ‘drugged and raped women’, prosecutor alleges

A mistrial was declared on all three counts at the end of Masterson’s first trial in November when jurors told the judge they were hopelessly deadlocked.

Actor Danny Masterson drugged then raped three women at his Hollywood area home between 2001 and 2003, a prosecutor has told jurors in his opening statement in the retrial of the star of That ’70s Show.

Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller alleged that Masterson put substances into drinks that he gave to a longtime girlfriend and two women he knew through friend circles around the Church of Scientology, all of whom Masterson is charged with raping.
