– Danny Masterson facing a possible 45-year prison sentence
– Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote letters in his support
– Trial scheduled for November 2021 as Masterson denies the allegations
Actor Danny Masterson, who starred in TV shows like ‘That ’70s Show’ and ‘The Ranch,’ is currently faced with the possibility of spending up to 45 years in prison for three counts of rape. More than 30 well-known individuals, including Masterson’s friends and former co-stars Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, have come forward in writing letters in support of the actor to be used during the trial. These letters, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, often include emotional anecdotes and express belief in Masterson’s innocence.
The letters addressed to the court recount Masterson’s generosity and kindness. Kutcher and Kunis, in their letter, wrote, “The whole point of this letter is to at least let you know a fraction of what we know about Danny or, rather, to share a bit of his humanity.” Some others who penned down letters highlighting their relationship with Masterson are Lou Diamond Phillips, known for his role in ‘La Bamba,’ and Shannon Elizabeth, famous for the ‘American Pie’ franchise.
In June 2020, the actor was charged with three counts of assault that took place between 2001 and 2003. Masterson, however, categorically denies these accusations. The trial, scheduled for November 2021, will deliberate on Masterson’s fate in the upcoming months.
