“That 70s Show” was one of the most popular TV shows in the1990s, taking people on a wholesome walk down memory lane down when long hair, bell bottoms, and hanging out was the norm.

One of the stars of the show was anything but wholesome in real life, according to prosecutors. Actor Danny Masterson was convicted of raping two women and sentenced to thirty to years life.

The victims said he drugged and repeatedly raped them and when they came forward with the accusations, they were allegedly shamed and attacked by members of the LAPD and the Church of Scientology for speaking up about the “heavily protected Masterson who was seen at the time as untouchable member of the Church of Scientology.”

The victims said he groomed them prior to being sexually assaulted by initially being charming but the charm gave way to undermining insults, degradation, and eventual emotional blackmail when he used their personal fears and traumas to blame them for his abuse, leading some to consider self-harm.
