Danny Masterson Seeks New Trial in Rape Case
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
Danny Masterson, known for his role in That 70s Show, is seeking a new trial after being convicted for rape. His attorney argues that issues with his previous defense lawyer and alleged bias against Scientology in the police investigation led to a wrongful conviction. Masterson was charged with three counts of rape by three women who claimed he gave them sedatives and raped them while they were members of the Church of Scientology. His new attorney, Eric S. Multhaup, believes the jury only heard one side of the story and that Masterson deserves a new trial where his defense can be fully presented. The petition also criticizes the prosecutions involvement with actress Leah Remini, a former Scientologist, who attended the trial and discussed the case on her docuseries.
