Two years after Danny Masterson was charged with three counts of rape, the ‘That ‘70s Show’ actor’s trial began on Tuesday

in 2020, with the alleged incidents occurring between 2001 and 2003. Masterson denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. He faces 45 years to life in prison if convicted.

“We’re going to hear about Scientology, what a bad guy Mr. Masterson was, and what a bad boyfriend Mr. Masterson was. None of those things are charged in this case. This case is about three women who are going to tell you about three nights 17, 18, 20 years ago. This case is going to be about what’s been proven regarding those three nights. The other stuff truly is the elephant in the room.”

She testified that she went out drinking with Masterson and a few other friends and said Masterson had given her several vodka cocktails. She said she had planned on sleeping that night in the guest room at Masterson’s home and eventually left the bar with him as he drove them to his house.
