Jury fails to reach a verdict in rape case against That 70s Show actor Danny Masterson
A jury in Los Angeles has failed to reach a verdict in a rape case against US actor Danny Masterson.
He had denied the charges, saying he was being persecuted for his membership of the Church of Scientology. Lawyers for Mr Masterson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Associated Press.Mr Masterson, 46, was charged in 2020 with raping three women, who were all in their 20s, between 2001 and 2003.
As a result, Mr Masterson was written out of the Netflix show The Ranch. He responded by saying that he had not been charged or convicted of a crime, and that in the climate at the time "it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused".Deliberations in the case began in mid-November, but soon reached a deadlock which could not be resolved.
