Danny Masterson was part of the original cast of “The Pink ’70s” and also played years later in the comedy series “The Ranch”. Both played brothers there, and Masterson was removed from the third season of this sitcom after he was accused in 2017 of three rapes that allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2003.

Danny Masterson’s first trial ended in an annulment after two years in December 2022. Now a new trial is scheduled to start in March 2023.
Ashton Kutcher, promoting his new film “At my place or at your place”, gave an extensive interview to the magazine “. During the conversation, he was asked about a colleague from the set, with whom he had a long-term friendship and a joint business. not true.
He recalls that when they started working on the set of “The Pink 70s.” it was Masterson who was the most experienced member of the cast and basically led the entire group:

He adds that he kept his friends and colleagues away from drugs and bad decisions. Now Kutcher does not hide the fact that it is difficult for him to follow the development of the Masterson case, if only because his colleague has a child who will one day read all reports about the accusations and the trial.

Ultimately, I can’t know if he’s guilty. I’m not a judge. I’m not a jury. I’m not a prosecutor. I’m not a victim. Nor am I the accused. I have no space to comment on it. I just don’t know.

Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual contact. UNICEF data shows that around 15 million teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19 have experienced this type of violence worldwide, but only 1 percent of teenagers turn to a professional for help. Research shows that 80% of rape victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If you are a victim of sexual violence, you can get help by calling, for example, the “Blue Line” Telephone Clinic – 22 668 70 00 (7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) or the 24-hour hotline of the Women’s Rights Center – 600 070 717.
