LOS ANGELES (AP) - “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson was charged with the rapes of three women in the early 2000s, Los Angeles prosecutors said Wednesday, the culmination of a three-year investigation that resulted in a rare arrest of a famous Hollywood figure in the #MeToo era.

The three counts of rape by force or fear against Masterson were filed Tuesday, and an arrest warrant isssued. Masterson, 44, was arrested late Wednesday morning, jail records showed. He was released a few hours later after posting bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 18.

“One woman brought her charges to the DAs office in 2004.”

The alleged events occurred in 2001, 2003 and fourth quarter of 2003. If she brought charges in 2004 it is very unlikely there is any physical evidence.

IMO That 70’s Show was brilliantly cast. I had friends in school who were exactly like each of those characters.

Same here... almost eerie, lol. That alone hooked me enough to watch the show for awhile, but I actually only saw a few episodes. Brought back lots of memories of the mid-to-late '70s though.

I was a teen in the 70s. The show nails the decade from clothing to furniture and hair styles. Before I ever knew anything about Danny masterson he kinda rubbed me the wrong way on the show. Couldn’t put my finger on it....just something not right. Always seemed angry, outside of his character on the show.

Has his former Costar Ashton Kutchner bailed him out of Jail yet like he did the Looters and Rioters?

I’d like to know more, but at first glance, this looks idiotic.

I have no sympathy for any woman who waits more than a few weeks to file a police report on a sexual assault. After a certain amount of time, you’ve forfeited your chance. This goes for Cosby as well.

Masterson and Cosby (and others) may very well be guilty, but this is a ridiculous new twist on law enforcement...

Scientology was started by Satanists L Ron Hubbard, and his Satanic Sister Sara Hubbard (née Northrup). It is a Church of Satan spawn that continues it’s mothership’s sex rituals

Early 2000s? What? Almost 20 years ago? And what was he? A struggling actor?

"That 70s Show" premiered in 1998. He was at the peak of his career in the early 2000s, making 6 figures per episode for 200 episodes.

I actually read something about him raping a cast member many years ago, but never heard anything more about it. I wondered if it might have been Mila Kunis as she was small but it seems like it was just someone working on the show.

From what little I know about walking dead I suspect her gig was a temporary one.

She was on 3 or 4 season. She played Tara. She was killed off 2 season ago. She was a secondary character but was in front of the camera a lot.
