A Los Angeles jury Wednesday has found "That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson guilty of two counts of forcible rape.

Jurors resumed deliberations Wednesday after a four-day break in the retrial of Masterson, who was charged with raping three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.

The jury spent about 6 1/2 days deliberating since being handed the case on May 17 after just over a day of closing arguments from attorneys.

Jurors said they were deadlocked on the third rape charge against Masterson.

I’m not about to post some snarky comment on this thread ...
my ears are still ringing from the nasty smack I got last time.

At worked with Masterson's Uncle. Way back he used to proudly tell me about his Nephew Danny doing modeling and commercials as a young kid, and then also later when he got the job on That 70's Show. I no longer work with the Uncle, but I would imagine he would be devastated today.

Very sad.

His only punishment should be to work night and day, until he gets to clear.

Was his uncle/family into Scientology too? Or is that something Masterson took up as an adult?

Not that I know of. But the Uncle, the brother of Danny's father, was on the grounded side of the family, not the side that went Hollywood.

Hollywood corrupts absolutely. Mark Wahlberg moved to Las Vegas and wants to make movies. Makes sense. But it's interesting that he chose Las Vegas. Should have gone with Reno instead.

Real question: Is there no Statute of Limitations in California?

This was supposed to be 20 years ago.

[Jonty30]

I’m guessing he will get 12-15 years, since they rarely go for the full penalty.

It’s kind of disturbing when they wait 20 years to play “Gotcha.” I mean... people mature and change. Personally, I’m not quite the same as I was 20 years ago.

I never watched that show other than a few minutes of one or two episodes.   I actually lived the Seventies so no thank you.   I did hear of their Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser.

My dad bought a new white 1966 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser and took nine of us, seven in our family, including our Grandmother and a girlfriend to keep my sister from wanting to murder her brothers, on a cross-country tour of all of the sites along the way.

My wife's family had a 1970 mint green Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser that my F-in-L only took out of his garage once a year to tow his camping trailer to the North Georgia mountains.   I purchased it from him for a paltry sum and we drove it for several years after that.

I don't have anything to say about Danny Masterson.

Didn’t CA change the law to include any rape allegations from the beginning of time?

Bill Cosby just got hit again with one from 50 years ago

During last year's trial, jurors leaned in favor of acquittal on all three counts, voting 10-2 on one count, 8-4 on another and 7-5 on the third --but they were unable to reach a unanimous decision, leading to the mistrial on Nov. 30.

one of the alleged victims, who was a former longtime girlfriend of Masterson.

This trial was a joke.

Nyuck nyuck nyuck.

There are five Masterson kids and they are all Scientologists. I am not sure about the birth father, but the mother and father were very high ranking, in Sea Org even. The step father went from being a high exec to being kicked out and labeled a suppressive person. So he hasn’t been able to see his wife or kids in years. Dammy Masterson has been scientologist since the age of 15.

Unfortunately “search” is NOT always your friend on this forum as I used it twice, yes, TWICE before I posted this and the latest article it displayed on the subject was:

But, you probably know this and if you don’t welcome to FreeRepublic reality.

Also, Danny Masterson is still married to the daughter of the Mamas and the Papas.

Do you happen to remember which engine your 1970 had? The 350 was standard but there was an optional 442 and 455, complete with hood scoops. My impression is that Vista Cruisers of that generation have become somewhat collectible.

Here’s a video featuring a super low mileage 1965 Bonneville Safari wagon. Different vehicle but same genre, by a guy who has a popular YouTube channel devoted to somewhat overlooked US car models of the ‘60s and ‘70s:
