"That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was sentenced on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women about 20 years ago in a case that stirred controversy around the Church of Scientology. The 47-year-old actor and prominent Scientologist, who starred in the retro TV comedy for eight seasons until 2006, was convicted in June in a second trial. A jury deadlocked on a charge that he raped a third woman.The case drew attention in part because Masterson met the women through the Church of Scientology, and his accusers said the organization discouraged them from contacting law enforcement, whcih the church denies.The women said Masterson drugged and raped them in separate incidents between 2001 and 2003 at his house in the Hollywood Hills.
