LOS ANGELES — “That ’70s Show” star Danny Masterson was sentenced Thursday to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women more than two decades ago at his Hollywood Hills home.
Masterson, 47, showed no visible emotion after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo threw the book at him.
“Mr. Masterson, I know that you’re sitting here steadfast in your claims of innocence and thus no doubt feeling victimized by a justice system that has failed you,” Olmedo said just before she dispatched Masterson to prison. “But Mr. Masterson, you are not the victim here.”
Masterson’s wife, Bijou Phillips, a model and actor who was a constant presence at her husband’s trials, quickly donned a pair of sunglasses after Olmedo announced the sentence. She left the courtroom without a word.
