That 70s Show star Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping two women, and is now said to be on 'constant watch' in jail as he hopes his conviction will be overturned

Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the rape of two women on Thursday. And now the That 70s Show star is being kept under constant surveillance behind bars, according to reports.

And according to TMZ, should Danny show any signs of mental distress or tell his team or a deputy about a mental health issue, he will immediately be taken for a mental health exam. The jail has the goal of making sure he's safe, they also report. Danny was facing 30 years to life for the charges, but the defence only asked for a concurrent sentence of 15 years. Days of deliberation in court saw Danny found guilty of two assaults that took place in 2003, more than two decades ago. He was also accused of raping a third woman, but the jury could not reach a unanimous decision.

Prosecutors alleged that the former television star's involvement in the Church of Scientology played a role in the case and argued that his status and role within the church allowed him to dodge responsibility for his crimes. All three women who brought complaints against him were also members of the church.
