What led to Danny Masterson’s rape retrial and what happens next

Hindustan Times  

A Los Angeles jury on Wednesday convicted actor Danny Masterson of two counts of rape in a retrial that focused on allegations the That ‘70s Show star raped three women between 2001 and 2003. DIRECT DISCUSSION OF DRUGGING A judge in the second trial allowed the prosecution to say directly that Masterson drugged all three women before raping them, in what may be the biggest difference from the first trial. THE FIRST ACCUSER One of the women Masterson is convicted of raping was born into a Scientology family and was part of Masterson's circle of friends. Hollywood's #MeToo firestorm would begin about six months later, and in the midst of it Masterson would be written off “The Ranch,” a Netflix Western comedy where he had reunited with Kutcher.
