New letters have emerged that reveal ex-cast members, as well as siblings, wrote letters in support of Masterson - with Kunis describing him as a ' role model'.
"I do not believe he is an ongoing harm to society and having his daughter raised without a present father would be a tertiary injustice in and of itself."
Kutcher - who is married to Kunis - went on to claim that Masterson"was the first person to jump to the defence" of a girl he didn't know after she was berated by her belligerent boyfriend.Masterson's wife, Bijou Phillips, said in her letter to the judge that he had been a"life-saving partner". She wrote:"Our daughter and I are heartbroken that he is not home with us. It has been very difficult without him here. Even though he is now in jail, he calls her every day."
The one-time actor's legal team is vowing to appeal - and if unsuccessful, Masterson would not be eligible for parole until he is a pensioner. During the trial, the women whose evidence led to his conviction said Masterson had given them drinks that made them feel light-headed in 2003, before they passed out and he raped them.
