Fianna Francis Masterson’ father accused of rape
The year 2017 wasn’t that great for Danny Masterson. Four women came out and accused him of rape. The allegations soon prompted an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department Investigation.
At the time, the actor denied all the allegations, however, everything kept falling apart for him. Around the same time, Netflix fired him from the show The Ranch in December 2017. Having been fired from the job, Danny stated he was really disappointed in Netflix for taking such a drastic measure. As if this was all not enough, his agency United Talent Agency also let go of him.
Then in 2019, four women filed a lawsuit against Masterson and the Church of Scientology in stalking and harassing claims. One of the women was Danny’s ex-girlfriend for which he even stated,
“I’m not going to fight my ex-girlfriend in the media like she’s been baiting me to do for more than two years. I will beat her in court—and look forward to it because the public will finally be able to learn the truth and see how I’ve been railroaded by this woman… and once her lawsuit is thrown out, I intend to sue her and the others who jumped on the bandwagon for the damage they caused me and my family.”
Despite his claims, nothing worked in his favor as he was charged with raping a 23-year-old woman in 2001, a 28-year-old in early 2003, and a 23-year-old woman in late 2003.
Danny’s Rape Case Final Verdict?
It has been around three years since the case first came to fruition and so far there has been no verdict. After Masterson was charged with the rape of three women, he pleaded not guilty in January 2021.
Then in a four-day preliminary began in May 2021 in which Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo said that she found all three witnesses credible and Danny be bound over the trial on three counts of rape.
Again in June 2021, he pleaded not guilty to the rape accusations that apparently occurred between 2001 to 2003. Moreover, his defense attorney even claimed all three women are colluding against Danny.
