'I do not believe he is an ongoing harm to society,' Kutcher wrote in a letter to the sentencing judge.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher arrive at the Breakthrough Prize Awards on April 15, 2023.“Throughout our time together, Danny has proven to be an amazing friend, confidant, and, above all, an outstanding older brother figure to me,” wrote Kunis, whose role as “Jackie” on the sitcom launched her to stardom. “His caring nature and ability to offer guidance have been instrumental in my growth both personally and professionally.

Danny Masterson, Mila Kunis, Laura Prepon, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Wilmer and Valderrama in "That '70s Show."Kutcher sounded the same themes in his letter to the court and called Masterson an “excellent” role model and “dedicated and loyal” husband. And while Masterson was portrayed as a predator by his victims, Kutcher described how he gallantly defended a defenseless woman.

The letters surfaced a day after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo hit Masterson with a sentence that, unless it is successfully appealed, virtually guarantees that the actor will not be eligible for parole until he is a senior citizen. “I know he has been convicted of serious crimes,” she said. “But the man I married has only been an extraordinary husband to me and a devoted father to our daughter.”

Masterson’s younger brother, Jordan, who is also an actor, said that after their father left, Masterson became a “pseudo father figure role for my little sister and me, even though he was only sixteen himself at the time.” Giovanni Ribisi, who is a Scientologist, wrote that Masterson was a “central figure in my peer group, because of his integrity, his stance against drugs, his abhorrence of violence and most of all the respect he demonstrates toward women and children.”
