American actor, Danny Masterson has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping two women in his home, about 20 years ago.
He was convicted in May of drugging and then raping fellow members of the Church of Scientology between 2001 and 2003 at his home in the swanky Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles.
Each rape conviction got a sentence of 15 years in prison and Danny is to serve two convictions consecutively.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo said she knew he did it, as Masterson continued to protest his innocence.
Masterson, who is married to actress Bijou Phillips, and who has a nine-year-old daughter, was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life upon his release from prison.
One of Masterson’s victims, identified as Jane Doe 2, told the actor in court: “You relish… hurting women.”
“You lived your life behind a mask as two people. But the real one sits here,” she said, adding the world is “safer” with Masterson in jail.
Danny had been on trial before, but the jury could not reach a unanimous decision, so it resulted in a mistrial. This conviction was his second rape trial.
The actor rose to fame with the 1998 launch of retro sitcom “That ’70s Show,” where he played the character of Steven Hyde alongside fellow stars Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.
