Ex-girlfriend who claims Danny Masterson raped her tells court that sex with him was never loving

Sex between TV star Danny Masterson and his live-in girlfriend — and alleged rape victim — was “never loving” during their six years together, she told the jury during his rape trial Thursday.

Instead, “it was rough and powerful,” Jane Doe #3 said on her third day on the witness stand.

“He didn’t understand that a woman has to be prepared—not just jump on it and do it her way.”

During a cross-examination by attorney Philip Cohen, when asked if Masterson would continue to ask for sex even if she said no, she told the court, “He wouldn’t ask. There was no question – he would just do it.’

Masterson, 46, who has been released on $3.3 million bail since his arrest in June 2020, pleaded not guilty to raping three women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.

The Scientologist actor faces a prison term of 45 years to life if convicted at the end of his trial where Elvis Presley’s daughter, ex-Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley, is on the witness list.

His accusers — whom DailyMail.com only identifies as Jane Does 1-3 — are all former Scientologists and are also suing him and the Church of Scientology in civil court, alleging they have been harassed and harassed since joining him. reported to the police.

Masterson – who starred on That ’70s Show on TV – appeared in a downtown Los Angeles criminal court on Thursday in a gray suit, blue shirt and gray striped tie.

The case resumed Thursday after a day off. Defense attorney Cohen opened his cross-examination by questioning Jane Doe 3 about the 1997 night she previously testified about, when she was returning from a modeling job in Paris and she and Masterson had a big fight over her not wanting to have sex with him. .

When the lawyer asked her what she said to Masterson that night that made him angry, she said, “I told him I’d been sleeping with someone else—which wasn’t true.”

But when Cohen next asked who she’d told him she’d slept with, Judge Charlaine Olmedo interrupted and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

Later, during a brief sidebar with the jury from the courtroom, Cohen revealed that it was Masterson’s brother who Jane Doe 3 claimed to have slept with.

The judge told him, “I understand your argument that the brother makes it even more blatant… but it’s still irrelevant.”

The Masterson case involving Jane Doe 3 revolves around two incidents. The first was in November 2001, when she said she woke up to find he was having sex with her and when she said no and tried to ward him off, he punched her in the face. This is the basis of the rape charge that Masterson faces.

The second – of which he is not charged – was in December 2001, when, she claims, Masterson anally raped her while she was unconscious.

During a cross-examination, Jane Doe 3 admitted that the November 2001 incident was the “only time in their more than five years together” that the actor hit her.

Cohen pointed out discrepancies between her testimony — in which she said Masterson hit her on the left cheek with the side of his closed fist — and a later interview with a detective in which she said he had “punched” her in the face.

When asked, “Would it be correct to say that Masterson never threatened to hit you during your relationship?” she replied, “There were times when it felt like he was going. But I do not know.’

In 2016, Jane Doe 3 finally went to the police in Austin, Texas – where she lived at the time – to report Masterson.

“You were there to report sexual assault from December 2001, is that correct?” asked Cohen.

“I believe I said I was there to report a rape,” she replied.

“You were talking about the December 2001 sodomy,” right? said Cohen

“He raped me – it was extremely harmful to me,” she replied.

“You didn’t report (to the Austin Police Department) about the November incident, correct? asked Cohen.

“They didn’t ask me about anything else,” Jane Doe 3 replied.

Cohen asked her if she mentioned “sodomy or anal rape that occurred in December 2001” in a later interview she gave to Los Angeles Police Department Detective Esther Reyes.

“Yes sir,” she replied. “But I never called it sodomy. If someone has sex with you while you’re unconscious, that’s rape, sir.’

One of Danny Masterson’s rape accusers on Thursday denounced the Church of Scientology for the “campaign of terror” she claims has waged against her since reporting the Scientologist actor to the police.

After three days on the witness stand in Masterson’s trial, Jane Doe #3 was asked whether the civil lawsuit she and his two other alleged rape victims have filed against him and whether the church is “related to the stalking and harassment” that she has had. subjected since he turned it in.

“It has to do with the terror campaign that this criminal organization has waged against my family,” she replied.

After Jane Doe 3 said on the witness stand that she found out that Masterson had “done other women,” his attorney, Philip Cohen, filed for a mistrial, claiming that jurors might think she meant more women than those which he has sued with in this trial.

Judge Olmedo disagreed and rejected his request for a mistrial.

Earlier in the cross-examination, when Jane Doe 3 was asked by Cohen whether she had told detectives or Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller – the accuser in this case – that she had slept with Masterson several times after the alleged rape and subsequent rape. fracture, she replied, “I don’t know” and “I don’t remember.”

In the cross-examination referral, Mueller asked her to clarify her testimony, saying that Masterson often forced himself on her.

“Often I would wake up and find that he was having sex with me,” she told the court.

‘That was normal. It was all I knew. He used to be that way.’

Mueller also refuted Cohen’s suggestion that Jane Doe 3 might not remember the events of an evening if she had consumed alcohol.

She admitted she could “get a hangover” the next day.

But when Mueller asked her, “If you were drinking, would it be a situation where you wouldn’t remember what happened that night?” she replied, “No, sir.”
