Danny Masterson is being held in the same LA prison segregation unit that once occupied OJ Simpson

The 70s Show star Danny Masterson will be held in the same segregation unit as OJ Simpson at the Los Angeles County Jail after being convicted of rape.

Masterson, 47, was found guilty of raping Jane Doe One and Two on Wednesday and will be held in LA County Jail until sentencing.

He will be held under ‘administrative segregation’ TMZ – the same unit that OJ Simpson and Suge Knight spent time in.

Masterson gains access to the prison’s library, but does not have access to a TV. He is also allowed to leave his cell for two hours a day and has three hours of free time a week, according to TMZ. He will also be able to shower every other day.

The actor must appear in court again on August 4.

The verdicts on Wednesday fell on the eighth day of jury deliberations. Jurors found him guilty of raping victims Jane Doe One and Jane Doe Two.

On Jane Doe Three’s third rape charge, the jury was ‘hopelessly deadlocked’ at eight guilty and four innocent.

Masterson’s attorney, Philip Cohen, argued that his client should remain free on bail, wear an electronic monitor and be placed on 24-hour house arrest.

But Judge Olmedo rejected his plea, saying Masterson’s offenses were “serious and violent crimes” and called him a “potential flight risk.”

Reinhold Mueller, the deputy district attorney, told the court he agreed with Judge Olmedo’s decision to revoke Masterson’s bail, echoing her comment, saying, “These were serious and violent crimes.”

On charges of rape against Jane Doe 3 – which jurors were still stuck on – the judge asked “whether there is a reasonable possibility of reaching a verdict.”

The female jury president replied ‘No’ and added that the jury voted five times without being able to reach a unanimous decision.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement after the verdict: “In April 2003, Masterson raped a 28-year-old woman and between October and December of that year he sexually assaulted a 23-year-old woman whom he had invited to his home. in Hollywood Hills.

“We would like to express our gratitude to the three women who came forward and bravely shared their experiences. Their courage and strength have been an inspiration to all of us.

“While we are disappointed that the jury did not convict on all counts, we respect their decision. The verdicts of the jury in this case were undoubtedly difficult to reach and we thank the jurors for their services.’

Masterson – who played the wisecracking Steven Hyde on That ’70s Show – was accused of raping the three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges and faced a sentence of 45 years to life in prison if convicted of all three.

His accusers, whom DailyMail.com identifies only as Jane Does 1 through 3, are all former Scientologists. In their civil case, they claim they have been harassed and intimidated since they reported him to the police.

A status hearing on that case is scheduled for June 28.

They said church officials warned them not to use the word rape; that turning a fellow Scientologist in to law enforcement was deemed a “high crime”; and if they disobeyed that doctrine, they could be declared an “oppressive person”—ostracized from the church and left alone, cut off from family and friends.

In the second trial, prosecutors put much more emphasis than in the first trial on their claims that Masterson drugged his alleged victims by supplementing drinks he gave them before raping them.

Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson called Masterson a “predator” and said in her closing argument, “It all starts with a drink.” This is his script.

“The defendant drugged his victims to gain control. When he stuns them, he is fully able to control them. And he does it over and over again.’

Her prosecuting partner, Mueller, added – pointing to Masterson – “After they were drugged, they were raped by this man here.

“There is no doubt that this man drugged and raped these women. It’s time to hold Masterson accountable for what he’s done.”

Masterson’s attorney on Wednesday objected to the prosecutor’s frequent references to his client to drug his alleged victims before raping them and called for a mistrial, saying “drugging is not forced rape.”

Masterson played the wisecracking Steven Hyde on That ’70s Show from 1998 to 2006

But Judge Olmedo denied his mistrial request, telling him that when considering drugging and the use of force in a rape case, “one doesn’t necessarily rule out the other.”

Cohen, pointed out that there are no toxicology reports to support the 20-year-old drug abuse allegations against his client – who has always maintained that the sex with the three Jane Does was “consensual.”

Another difference between the two trials was the addition in the second of testimony from another “victim” — a woman who claimed Masterson raped her in Toronto in 2000, though he was never charged with the alleged assault.

Prosecutors added her to the witness list to establish a pattern of Masterson’s “previous evil deeds.”

But Cohen rejected the move, saying the new accuser was brought in for the retrial to “save the case” for the district attorney.
