Masterson has been interned at Corcoran State Prison in Central California and will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old
Danny Masterson has been moved to Corcoran State Prison in Central California, where infamous cult leader Charles Manson spent years of his life.
The former That ‘70s Show star, 47, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after he was found guilty of raping two women over two decades ago.
Just last week, Masterson was denied bail pending appeal over fears the convicted rapist has “every incentive to flee”.
The Wrap first reported that, according to state records, Masterson has officially been moved to Corcoran after spending time in an LA County lockup and later the North Kern State Prison intake facility.
Records show that the actor will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old.
Blogger Jeffrey Augustine reports that Masterson will be housed in the prison’s Level 4 maximum security housing unit – the highest level of security available.
What evidence would there even be after 20 years? Unless there’s text message records or something like that I would guess it mostly came down to their word vs his anyway, no?
That’s exactly why it was so shocking to see him take such a harsh sentence. Typically in a case like this, the verdict is going to side with the defense because if it didn’t, anyone could start throwing wild accusations with no evidence in hopes of a conviction. The fact that it was a twenty year old case with twenty year old evidence and the lawyers couldn’t overcome that or even plea bargain him down to a lesser crime tells me that his lawyers weren’t really looking out for his best interest, but wanted to get through the system as fast as possible to avoid too bright a spotlight on Scientology.
I’m not disagreeing with you but, if his lawyers were that bad, how has he not appealed based on ineffective representation?
He’s a stooge to the Church. He is either a true believer, or the cult has even worse things on him.
