Danny Masterson from the hit and iconic television series That 70s Show has recently been given a jail sentence of 30 years.
The star who made a huge name for himself from the popular American sitcom has been deemed guilty by the court for assault, local media outlets have confirmed. And the news has sent shockwaves across the industry.
The judge mentioned how the victim’s impact statements were taken into consideration during the hearing and that entailed how two women were brutally assaulted by the star while the third’s count had been dismissed.
Chilling words from the statements are now going viral on social media including, ‘when you assaulted me, you stole from!’ She continued to mention how it was like theft of the spirit.
