The actor, serving a 30-year sentence for two counts of rape, has questioned the plaintiffs’ credibility and claimed he didn’t receive a fair trial
Danny Masterson has filed an appeal against his 2023 rape conviction, questioning the plaintiffs’ credibility and claiming he didn’t receive a fair trial.
Gardner and Whitt claim that Masterson’s rights were violated by the inclusion of Scientology doctrine as part of the trial, and accuse the plaintiffs of giving “falsified” evidence. Masterson’s lawyers say the 2023 trial court “excluded evidence showing that if the complaining witnesses obtained forcible rape convictions against Mr Masterson, state law would provide a new, one-year window within which they could file rape-based causes of action” in a civil suit, thus “entitling them to a dramatically greater damage award than the existing lawsuit for harassment damages”.
