Actor Danny Masterson drugged, raped ladies, prosecutor says

By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES: Actor Danny Masterson drugged then raped three ladies at his Hollywood-area dwelling between 2001 and 2003, a prosecutor instructed jurors Monday in his opening assertion inside the retrial of the star of “That ’70s Show.”

Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller talked about Masterson put substances into drinks that he gave to a longtime girlfriend and two ladies he knew by good good friend circles throughout the Church of Scientology, all of whom Masterson is charged with raping.

“The evidence will show that they were drugged,” Mueller instructed the jury. The safety denies such proof exists.

Direct dialogue of drugging was missing from the first trial — which led to a mistrial when a jury deadlocked on all three counts — with Mueller as a substitute having to counsel it by the testimony of the women, who talked about that they had been woozy, disoriented and at cases unconscious on the nights they described the actor raping them.

But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo is allowing the direct assertion on the second trial.

Masterson’s authorized skilled, Philip Cohen, talked about inside the safety opening assertion that these hazy tales and assertions are all the prosecution has, and he instructed jurors, “there is no drugging charge in this case.”
