The “That ’70s Show” actor was convicted in May for raping two women at his Hollywood Hills home about two decades ago.
Jurors in Masterson’s retrial convicted the actor of the two rapes and deadlocked on the charge involving his ex-girlfriend.
In his closing argument of the retrial, Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told the jury, “This defendant drugged and raped each one of these victims… It is time to hold Mr. Masterson accountable for what he has done.” “What happened after they were drugged — they were raped by this man over here,” the prosecutor said, pointing across the courtroom at Masterson. “… You have an opportunity to show there is justice. It does exist.”
Masterson’s lawyer said he was not alleging that there was some “grand conspiracy” against his client, but told jurors the alleged victims had spoken with each other despite an LAPD detective’s admonition and that their accounts have been tweaked throughout the years.
