That '70s Show star Danny Masterson has been found guilty of rape and is facing decades in prison. Masterson is well-known for his portrayal of Steven Hyde in all eight seasons of That '70s Show, though he did not return for the recent sequel series, That '90s Show, due to the rape allegations. Masterson was arrested in 2020 over alleged assaults that occurred between 2001 and 2003 in his Hollywood Hills home.

Per Deadline, the actor has been found guilty on two of three counts of rape and is currently facing 30 years behind bars. Masterson sat expressionless as the verdict was read, though he appeared dazed as he was handcuffed and taken into custody.
Why Danny Masterson Was Finally Found Guilty Of Rape Unlike the first trial that ended in a deadlocked jury late last year, the retrial saw the LA County District Attorney’s office place an increased emphasis on Masterson's ties to the Church of Scientology and how that had an impact on his misconduct in the case. The actor is a long-time Scientologist who allegedly spiked the drinks of his victims, who were all Scientologists themselves at the time.
