The stars' letters in support of actor and convicted rapist Danny Masterson did not argue that he was not guilty, but vouched for his character and asked for leniency.
The Mars Volta has reunited, following Cedric Bixler-Zalvala’s break with Scientology. But for Cedric and his wife, their battles with the church are far from over.after his second trial on charges stemming from allegations of sexual assaults by three women he knew through the Church of Scientology.
The rapes occurred at Masterson’s Hollywood Hills home in the early 2000s, when he was a rising star from “That ’70s Show.” The Church of Scientology was invoked repeatedly at trial and became a key focus of defense and prosecution teams alike. The women said the church discouraged them from reporting Masterson to law enforcement at the time of the rapes. The church denied those allegations.
Other well-known Hollywood actors, including Billy Baldwin and Giovanni Ribisi, wrote letters in support of Masterson, as did fellow “That ’70s Show” cast member Debra Jo Rupp. Numerous family members, including Masterson’s wife, Bijou Phillips Masterson, also penned letters in support.
