DELANO, Calif. (AP) — “That ‘70s Show” actor Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions.

Authorities said Wednesday that the 47-year-old Masterson has been admitted to North Kern State Prison, and they released his first prison mug shot. The photo shows him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard.

It will be more than 25 years before Masterson will be eligible for parole.

Masterson’s lawyers said they plan to

Don't worry Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will bust you out

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 114 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (10 children)

Aston Kutcher, a celebrity famous for his philanthropy, says a man guilty of two rapes should have his charity taken into account.

In other words: A man with excess money, and who gives some of that excess to charity, says a person's charity should balance out that person's crimes.

I think it's the personal connection that makes him find reasons to consider Danny's side of things more charitably. I sort of accept that he is just a dumb Hollywood guy with a soft spot for a friend. Except for one thing...

He's involved with fighting human trafficking which ought to give him a pretty clear perspective regarding sexual assault victims. That's what I can't reconcile.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe he just doesn't want to believe because he knew him for so long.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's exactly the perspective I consider in the first paragraph and then dismiss in the second. I feel like you've just asked, "But why male models?" for the second time.

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That last sentence is scorching and I hope the other dude gets his act together.

"Well damn, Jackie, I can't control the rapin'"

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

If using a charity is something Ashton thinks you can use as a get out of jail free card, then what fucking shit does he do, he's been helping with that anti sex trafficking thing, that's a big ol get out of jail free card in Ashton's mind.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 17 points 2 years ago

I really don't like how much hate they got for this

If someone you love does something horrible, the emotions don't just disappear. It's like grief, people have to work through it, and it happens in different ways.

For them, their long time friend has done something to (for them) hypothetical victims. They asked for leniency in a non-public way...

It's an extremely human thing to do. It doesn't live up to their ideals, but it doesn't invalidate everything they've done

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Well, what is Ashton hiding?

To clarify, North Kern is an intake facility. He'll be there for a few weeks undergoing psych evals and other testing to determine which facility he will be sent to for permanent incarceration.

We've known for months he's going to prison. This is just media porn.

Seeing people actually punished for crimes like this should always be celebrated as many rapes go unreported

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This is the first I'm hearing of this - Yes I've been living under a rock. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what he did? The article said it happened in the 2000s but didn't give specifics.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 52 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Danny Masterson is a rapist and Scientologist.

He’s going gaol because Scientology couldn’t protect him from the consequences his actions forever.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Interesting, I've never seen that form of the word jail actually used today. Where are you from if I may ask?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Australia.

Jail's slowly edging out as the only spelling post-Americanisation, but I was taught gaol in the '90s so it's not super archaic here like it probably is in other Commonwealth countries.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

At first I thought you were just trying to be an edgy teen or troll. This is interesting.

Mugshot not in the article so where is it?

I think you’re supposed to keep clicking around to find it.

It's there, you have to swipe past the first picture up at the top.
