Danny Masterson's rape trial moving forward after judge rejects his lawyers' motion to dismiss

The “That 70s Show” actor was charged in June with rape by force or fear after a three-year investigation. The prosecution alleges that he raped three women on separate occasions in the early 2000s. He is currently out on a $3.3 million bail and continues to deny the charges against him.

Masterson, 44, was represented by his lawyers Thomas Mesereau and Sharon Appelbaum in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday. They argued that the three charges of rape he’s facing allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2003, outside the statute of limitations, and should therefore be tossed out of court.

Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Masterson under the state’s “one strike” sex offense law, which allows for a potential life sentence for certain sex offenses, including allegations involving multiple victims. Judge Eleanor Hunter sided with the prosecution and ruled that the case will move forward on Nov. 2.
 
Danny Masterson Rape Case Going Ahead, Los Angeles Judge Says – Deadline

That ’70s Show
actor was not actually in court for the arraignment hearing. However, his main defense lawyer Tom Mesereau said his client was pleading not guilty to claims that he sexually assaulted three women in the early years of the last decade.

Looking at up to 45 years behind bars if found guilty at trial, Masterson’s criminal case is different that the civil cases he is acing. In a decision that stunned many, LASD Judge Steven Kleifield on the last day of 2020 ruled that the civil complaints must be settled by the Church of Scientology in “religious arbitration” because an arbitration agreement already exists that compels any disputes to be handled in that manner.

As for the criminal case and any trial, anticipate more delays as the Covid-19 pandemic has seen Los Angeles courts closing and/or backlogged for months on almost all matters.
 
Wondering what happened here as Masterson was supposed to be arraigned in January IIRC. :mad:
 
This predatory behavior described in articles is so grotesque. These women were not only preyed upon by him but they were betrayed by the religious group they were involved in. I do hope he is convicted and serves time in jail.

The actor Danny Masterson has placed his historic Hollywood Hills mansion on the market for $6,995,000. He has reportedly been renting out his L.A. digs while living in a home up the coast in Santa Ynez, CA. He purchased the Hollywood home for just under $3 million in 2007.

Masterson faces a criminal trial on allegations of multiple rapes, and had used both properties as collateral for a $3.3 million bond to stay out of jail while awaiting trial.

In a separate court proceeding, he reportedly lost a lawsuit against the mortgage holders on his home, leaving him responsible for the $1.995 million he owed.

Looks like Danny is finally reaping what he has sown all these years. He thought he was untouchable...

I believe he is guilty of these rapes----but I am worried about this trial. There are some points the defense will be able to use because of the way Scientology brainwashed these women.

The rape victims knew Scientologist hierarchy was never going to hold DM accountable so the women dragged their feet in reporting the rapes. And they didnt go to the police quickly for fear of being banished and harassed by Scientologist officials and cut off from their families.
