Stop calling it a Church!!
Church , cult , same thing !!!
@@saiyanacademy9834 Correct!
Why? All the people that attend them are the problem with the world.
The Bible says the real "Church" should be a fellowship of believers, who, care for one another and help one another to grow in faith and every way possible. They are commanded to love each other, and love every person they come across, particularly the poor, sick, needy, imprissoned, etc. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the widow/orphan etc
Sadly, many "so called churches" aren't doing that and that's on the ppl attending and the pastors equally. But, places like scientology are their own religion. While not the "True Church" that is supposed to follow Jesus Christ, they are a church, just a very wrong one. But many who claim to follow Jesus are also very much in the wrong (taking money FROM widows/orphans etc, instead of obeying the command to care for and provide for them!)
Let us who believe in Jesus STOP noticing only what the world says about us and constantly commenting on that, and do what the Lord says! These are "churches" that are doing evil, scientology etc, but so are these prosperity money loving churches that help no one. Be the TRUE CHURCH AND LOVE OTHERS! Give to others! I need to be following these same things more myself, and listening to every command that the Bible gives-which is only for our good and for the good of those around us!
@@saiyanacademy9834the sigh of church Christians is to love one another just like he loves us.
As a former scientologist this is a great day now to get David Miscavige
Why did you join in the first place? What was in your mind to say "Yes"?
Nice 😊
@@JoleneSailer honestly it wasn't that bad in the beginning the last year in a half I was in was pure hell. Had alot of wins and was doing good in it it solved alot of problems I was having and there's still some things from it i still use today. Around the time GAT 2 and scientology network was coming out was when things really got stressful and more pressure and leah remini show had come out while I was still in and that was a big fiasco where they were gonna make a website for religious discrimination and all it was was a hate website for critics against the church. And then when battlefield earth book was re released in 2016 it was sell sell sell to try and get hubbard on the new york times list again and I thought something has gone hay wire in this place it was not the wonderful spiritual place that I had been in for the past years it went from helping people and making a difference in the world to sell sell sell
@@JoleneSailer and one more thing I get asked all the time why I got in in the first place you wouldn't understand unless you either been in it or read any of Hubbard's books or studied scientology you don't understand unless you been in. I never started a personality test I started with life improvement courses and saw what I was learning in worked and wanted more and it grew from there
@@The_Wizard_Owlin_Celestial Very sorry you got suckered in with greedy, fake people. That is their skill. Eventually, the scammers will be outed just like you.
I can only hope that child molesters get time like this
Right geez why do they get off so easily
@@mykiea5156Confidential Informants planted in govt housing. Happens all the time.
@@Mar.....O ????????? are you ok?
Right but they don't and it's wrong
It's so terrible that we don't have stronger/longer sentencing on child sexual abuse...
I blame our government and court officials who give lean sentences to child molesters (I bet you that they are child molesters themselves and that's why they give light sentences)...
It's good to pay attention to how your officials vote on certain things, especially with CSA protections, child protections, consent laws, etc - it tells a lot about a person 💯💯💯
The “Church” or Scientology is a cult, not a religion, and should be investigated for racketeering and fraud.
All religion is. Christianity is the most damaging to America
All religion is a cult. All.
ALL religions are cults. your religion isnt any different. they all teach lies and false promises with no evidence for their deity.
Mega "Christian" churches are just as corrupt.
The "church" tells victims they have brought bad things upon themselves from their past or past lives. Gross victim-blaming.
Hello Wendy, hope you're okay?
Thank you for being one of the very few news outlets that arent afraid to mention the word "scientology"!❤ ❤❤
This might be Why he was given such an outrageous statement.
The so called victims have lost support.
@@adelaidemarie have you followed this deeper? How many years they fought get this to trial while being harassed. How many other known victims there are. Like the one in canada might be going to trial. Masterson didnt just r*** 2 women. It was known to many that this was his thing. But scientology protected him for so many years and intimidated the victims. But why get information that goes beyond a short clip when you can just blame the victims and talk BS
Aaron Smith-Levin has a fantastic show on RUclips!
These comments are from Scientologists. Look at all the comment sections on these sites and u will see people spreading misinformation. There was a lot of evidence.
Others call it crapology 😂
Danny Masterson is one messed up dude. 20 years ago he was a pretty good looking guy and I am sure if he was lonely and horny that he could go to a bar and make a friend for the night without much difficulty. People who rape don't do it for sex, it's power and control over someone else and thats why he needs to go to jail to protect others from him....who knows if their are others out their too afraid to speak up what was done to them.
He was NOT sentenced to jail.
Rapist do it for sex, it’s just another flavor of sex for the appetite. There are two types of rapists: sadistic rapists and impulsive rapists. Like how normal people sometimes want oral, or to do it from behind, maybe a little bit of role-play, or some bondage, do it on the furniture, wear certain clothes, have a really gentle session, or some morning glory, well, sadistic rapists sometimes want sex with the additional flavor of resisting and crying, enjoying the thrill of absolute power and winning the contest of wills. That’s how the sadistic rapist is. But much more common is the guy with a high sex drive who hasn’t gotten any in a good long while and he loses control. Or maybe he’s just gotten really ratcheted up and had a few and the girl has been teasing him so he thinks after a night of teasing them on and off and playing hard to get she’s just playing when she fights him a little before laying back and letting him do it. Rape being about power is a lie.
@@Ausgar-yc1ylyes he was 30 years in prison
@@rosemarymcgrory-eb2gd Wrong, again he was NOT sentenced to jail at all. Jail is NOT prison.
@@Ausgar-yc1yl you're a weirdo. He's going to be behind bars. Is that better?
IF he actually did rape these girls....why is he being put in jail for longer then he would if he murdered someone?
You know why. I hope they have more evidence than just the words of two women to imprison someone for 30 years.
@@Tw0Threethere is evidence. That's why he got 30 years.
He did do it.
because this is the time you should get for raping someone. And he DID do it because there was evidence. I'm guessing from your attitude youre the type of guy to think men can do no wrong and somehow its the woman's fault huh? Go touch some grass or become another statistic bud.
What was the evidence? There was none it was basically the word of mouth @@awsome14619
This guy got a bad deal. Other celebrities got away with worse actions. This system really is fucked up.
I would love to see the details of this case because 30 years to life is shocking
It wasn't televised. But both Aaron Smith Levin and Tony Ortega covered it
@@candynickel don’t know those people but will look into t
If one more R proven, California is a 3 strike state. That will truly be a life sentence w no parole available
The evidence is OVERWHELMING
@@DisenchantedElleJay ok where can we see the evidence
Never seen an innocent man go to prison based on fake rape chargers before lol. This case needs a new trial.
There can’t just be allegations for 30 years. There has to be a good deal of evidence.
Don’t be a bigot. Women never lie.
Ask a judge what's a woman?
Scientology had them silenced you mollusk !
What evidence? There’s no rape kit or bloodwork to prove they were drugged
Correct. That's why they went through trial, the prosecution provided a good amount of evidence, and the rapist was convicted.
My thoughts are with all 10 victims, 6 of whom whose cases weren't heard.
If they are not heard it's because the claimants are loopy and damage the credibility of the more normal-sounding women
Not really the claimants were verified in the end. Some didn't want to relieve it in court. They reported the assaults straight away to the relevant office of the cult but it has a. doctrine that if something bad happens to you then you did something bad in a prior life and "deserve it" similar to karma. @@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons
@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker 'Verified' - what a daft thing to say. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Usually what happens in cases like this is a dozen women will accuse a man of something and the prosecutors will cherry pick the stories which bear a resemblance to eachother and the witnesses that don't sound crazy. Then without evidence they will say there is a 'pattern' and that 'if it isn't true then why are multiple women claiming the same thing?' i.e where there's smoke there's fire.
If all the women testified it can make the accusations seem more suspect, depending on the kinds of things the various accusers are claiming happened, that's why they select fewer to prosecute
He has been found guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers after considering all the evidence, that is all his victims needed to hear those who brought the case and those who didn't. @@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons
Please teach kids what rape kits are in school! Had I known what rape kits were when I was a teenager, let's just say I may have had enough confidence to call the police. Since I didn't, I was worried nobody would believe me. My life was forever changed.
Sadly, even with a rape kit - they still could not believe you. Plenty of rapists evade justice by saying that it was consensual sex, and not rape.
@@cybunbun I do not know what a rape kit is never heard of it bottom line is you have to go to the hospital and make a police report. And just like any crime the sooner you do it the better.
Get fucked, With so many vile women falsley accusing, I woulnt beleive any women even if i would see it with my own eyes.
So something that happened last century and he gets senteced for 30 years only by word to mouth, and u women wonder why men avoid u at work , expect a bigger backlash from this.
Over 20 years ago i feel like that's alittle to long ago just saying
@@lilasdiycreations1979 agree, it's getting beyond ridiculous now.
Tf these feminazis are absolutely borderline nuts and vile
I wish they would talk about the other victims that didnt testify and file charges.
They may feel safer to talk now...
I’m a victim of a brutal attack from a family member when I was 16. He continues to hide behind his religion to make himself feel better, he also stole my inheritance and gave it to his church. He also did the same to my cousins (his own children) and ex wife. I’m still scared to report him because I’m worried nobody will do anything. He’s a horrible person for what he did to myself and my other relatives. Seeing guys like this punk makes me feel like justice can still be achieved. My assault happened right in front of my cousin and he won’t come forward and continues to defend his dad. Still suffer from the psychological damage he left me with.
I'm so sorry! I hope you can try to get justice for yourself, you deserve justice!! More male survivors voices are def needed right now, not enough male survivors come forward...
I hope you do someday when you feel comfortable, you do come forward.
You could try to get him on record by recording his confessions! Just look at your and his state laws about recording conversations, some states it's illegal but most states are legal just do research before recording him!! Goodluck!!
You need to stop him from hurting anyone else. Please, you MUST.
How the hell do you defend yourself against this after 20 years!? Witnesses may have died, can't remember anymore etc. If you don't report it in a timely manner, the statue of limitations should kick in.
I agree fully, mate! That's assuming the charges are even legit. While I understand that these types of offense do happen every day, there have been a few recently that have been proven to be bs and it really makes you wonder.
These accusations have been around since the 2000's. The victims reported it to the church, but the church didn't do anything. The witnesses are very much still alive. There should be NO statute of limitations on sex crimes.
@@wildheart2978 Lmao. Reporting an alleged rape to this sect instead of the police. Makes total sense.
Your idea of the statue of limitations would help serial killers walk free.
@WithoutRemorse12 This could be you. Someone could accuse you of this after 30 years and you would struggle to defend yourself because nobody remembers what happened on that day 30 years ago, witnesses are gone and you don't remember a thing yourself. There is no way to mount a good defense after 30 years.
Heres what i dont get, the only girls to have allegedly been rapd or assaulted were the girls who went to these celebrity parties. I know when i was growing up, i was told to stay away from places like that. I dont feel these women are innocent one bit. I think Danny is guilty. But i feel these women qre also playing the system. Just my opinion
So because they went to celebrity parties, that means they are partly at fault? That's ridiculous.
They trusted him as a friend and fellow church member. They were innocent and betrayed.
@@vnavarro14no , he’s saying women are groupies and put themselves in bad situations looking to benefit .. but when something bad happens they aren’t held accountable for their own decisions
im sorry but if all they have is some girls saying he did it, he shoiuld not serve one day in prison. Too many false accusations in todays society. More false accusations than true from what i see. They more than likely are looking for money
Jury thought something else though.
Oh please. Jury has convicted innocent people before.
he deserves it. There were multiple women and loads of evidence. Its convenient that everyone believes him because he's a man. Its the same thing as only believing them cause they're women. NO. There was evidence on multiple parts. Do your research before calling these women liars.
I love how arrogantly they are walking into the court house, wife with to go coffee in hand...🙄 She's going to fall apart if she ever allows herself to admit who he is and what he has done.
what did he do?
@@schlomoshekelstein908 Exactly. The biggest part that concerns me is....... WHAT? You were ALL raped and said/nor did anything to immediatly report rape to police/hospital until YEARS later?? Something smells here. Scientology already reaks of secret demented brainwashing.
@@schlomoshekelstein908nothing , he is innocent
@@schlomoshekelstein908he drugged and raped women.
Where's like, ONE shred of evidence? Trick question: there isn't any. This entire thing was based off two testimonies by the "victims" and a LOT of "if" scenarios dreamt up by "experts."
This trial is a massive pile of lies.
IF he did it, he deserves the sentence because doesn't matter that 20 years have passed by. His victims have suffered consequences during this time. Honestly I am not surprised, some of these Hollywood stars believe they are above the law and everything else, they are cocky and arrogant. Also the scientology church plays a big role here, these women were scared of consequences since they were part of it, and decided to be quiet about these crimes. Now he will have time to think about what he did. I am sorry for his 9 years old daughter tho, he won't have his dad anymore.. 😢
There's no IF. In the eyes of the law he did and was convicted. That's why he's no longer an alleged rapist. He's a convicted rapist.
The victims’ consequences are life long, so it is just and fair for him to suffer the consequences for the same length of time
@carriebell3566
Yes but this person's only saying his daughter is paying the price too & she's innocent. The domino effect of his actions go in many directions hurting several more that had nothing to do with it including his wife children parents , grandparents & many more
This person isn't saying he doesn't deserve prison they're saying his daughter is suffering too. There's more than 2 victims just different damage.
He get as much time as Bill Cosby....hardly any
@@Lady-Carmakazi yeah, well he was a TV star especially back then at his very peak, he could have asked nicely for sex, and I am sure he would have found it. But rapists love power and controlling their victims. Sick
I don't know about this one. Sorry. Attack me if you must but I don't agree with this sentence
You don't believe in the American justice system?
@@patrickmanway290nope. You shouldn’t either. Too many false accusations and police and courts trying to arrest and convict people to ‘fluff’ their numbers.

Its like they are trying to make an example out of Danny. There are a lot of crimes that go unpunished or get off with a slap on the wrist. This whole thing is so sad. I dont understand the justice system.
Hi Angella, hope you're okay?
He deserves more than what he got, he's drugged and raped 27+ women that we know of , so can you imagine how many victims there are. He has been raping since 1993, go look up his DJ name donkey punch, he's a horrible person.
No... they are doing their jobs. Arresting, investigating, and prosecuting criminals.
Without a doubt our court would convict a carrot if a woman accused it of a sex crime. The amount of men that have been falsely accused and even sentenced with no physical evidence just pure word of mouth is staggering.
I wasn't there so I don't really know who is lying and who is telling the truth, but the comments here suggest that people are making judgements based on their OWN personal experiences and feelings. These women may or may not be lying! But so many people commenting are acting like they KNOW the truth when they REALLY do not🤦♀
@@TrustJesus333 ????? You DO know that innocent people can be falsely accused and convicted right? I am NOT saying that is the case because I don't know; I wasn't there. But for YOU to pass judgement makes me think you were probably sexual abused, or know somebody that was, as you ASSUME "justice prevailed" 🤦♀
@@YaketyYak-sp4wc TOTALLY AGREE!
I hope child rapist can get this sentence too...
Those are the ones who most definetly should get 30+ if not life.
I am an attorney, but I am also a survivor of domestic abuse and abused as a minor. I am very supportive of the victims in this case, and I perform private outreach on my own with regard to sex trafficking. However, as an attorney, I am wondering why His sentence is 20 years to life when so many other rapist gets so much less time. Is it because there were three Felonise on three separate occasions, which, at least, until recently with an automatic 20 years to life sentence in California? And again I cannot emphasize enough, I believe every word of every victims testimony and impact statement and I am not defending masterson. I am just trying to understand from a legal perspective. Why so many other rapist gets so much less time?
Were there aggravating factors or was this a three felony automatic 20 to life sentence? My other texts or comment I should say it was too long. If there’s a lawyer out there who can answer this from a legal perspective or someone who works in the court system, so can explain this I would really appreciate it.
30*** to life
That's what I've been trying to understand.
I'm curious how it's only 5yr to intentionally kill a teen because you don't like their views. Or how the same state didn't want to upgrade the felony charges for trafficking minors, but this guy gets 30 yr to life. Not defending what allegedly occurred either, just doesn't seem like there's much equality in sentencing these days. Granted equity seems to be all the rage for those poor young scholars that have to kill for loaves of bread to feed the fam or if they torture others and do a fb live or tik tok.
You believe every word of every victim. That means the accused has no chance in court.
No justice there was reasonable doubt and he had been acquired once before no double jeopardy. A gross mishandling of justice.
Should have got out of California after you get famous. There are so many women desperate for fame there.
I’m more and more suspect of these “rape” claims against famous people. The Me Too thing is getting out of hand
30 to life is a longtime, he should be signed up as a sex offender
It was part of his sentence. He had to come in to the court to hear he is a lifetime offender.
He was sentenced to life.
Just sad....He was my crush on that 70's show
@@JadaColI’m sure he was these girls crush too.. which how they ended up in bed with him to begin with.
30 years. You don't get that for taking someones life SMH.
Especially in California.
Ya the USA is crazy.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
There are some things worse than death... rape is one of them
So? Just because other sentences are unjust doesn't mean this one is too.
So he was accused of rape that happened in 2003? Why do these women wait decades to come forward? I don't believe there is an excuse justified not to report it so it won't happen to another women. 30 years for rape, kind of harsh when murderers get lessor sentences
He always looked dead behind the eyes
Even the characters he played in that 70s shows was perverted, a hint to his real life personality.
@@carriebell3566 was it really his character? Wow, in which way?
You don't fucking know him
@@carriebell3566fez was the pervert lol
Scientology pays off the police department for many things. Shelly Miscavige is still missing.
There should be irrefutable evidence to sentence someone 30 yrs to life. Is there?
Ask the jury, kid.
The jury decided there was
Dude this guy had it all unbelievable😮
He thought he could get away with anything
I don't understand women that wait this long to accuse a man of such horrific crimes 😒😒 if indeed this did happen, then you should report it immediately, not 10 or 20 years later 😒 make it make sense
ONes that wait this long are doing it for money and have an agenda
I'd like to see any physical evidence aside from witness testimony.
There was none, as far as I've seen.
@@mickjagger8439 About what I figured.
Why does this news report give you no real details to the case at all. I'm confused on the sentence mainly because I've watched murderers with hard core evidence get like 6-15 years. I wish they would give more explicit details meaning just how did they come up with that sentence also how long were all parties involved in that cult of a church. Who else is involved in the church as far as witnesses. Were there rape kits etc etc. I am just baffled at the lack of real evidence makes you wonder what's going on with the criminal justice system these days.
I think this case is a very important one, not just to Scientology, but to ALL celebrities who think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. Most celebrities think there Teflon and they have to be shown there not. If you commit a crime, you have to take responsibility. Whether your a actor, athlete, musician, author, whatever, you cannot commit reprehensible acts and just walk away with a slap on the wrist or Scott free. No, for their awful crimes, to the victims and their families and society in general, they have to be brought to justice and shown they are not above the law. And it's happening more often nowadays, Bill Cosby, Harvey Wienstine, R Kelly, all have been brought to justice and shown that incredible talent does not mean you don't have to take responsibility for your actions. This and other cases where these predators have been caught shows that the system works and justice will be served. Peace to all.
Its disgusting how you speak against your fellow man. Meanwhile the women hunting these celebrities are innocent?
@@SWOTHDRA100%
Ex President...
@@SWOTHDRA I'm not speaking against my fellow man, I'm speaking against a convicted rapist who was sentenced accordingly. He was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and is no fellow man in my book. If you consider convicted rapists to be your fellow man, I think that's rather disgusting 🤢.
I think since someone can accuse the now formal President of going to the women dress ING room and raping her
Not at the time of rape when dept store are going but when he is going for election 5hen comes forward claiming he raped her with her hand out
Since a president can be a victim of attorneys and the system
Then they need to blow the dust off the polygraph machines
Amd this case is prime example
With the women one waiting 14 y3ars
The other a year
Most rape victims would take polygraph and rape kit
These women have not proven their case and it's called malicious prosecution for these women to walk into court knowingly missing all test and just cry and hold out their hand for money
Since most rape victims are not believed then the polygraph would welcomed by the women
They should volunteered saying we didn't report one of the rapes so in all honestly and for fairness we want volunteer for polygraph. Did the women do that .... ?,
He’s gonna be That 70’s Guy when he gets out.
That guy in his 70s😂
Ceazy how many people act like 20 years is long enough to forget what he did? He is guiltily
No but the thing is their are limitations to putting on a capable defense after 20 years. Alibi witnesses forget and evidence of innocence erodes with time. There is definitely grounds for an appeal.
if he's such a monster.....Why the long wait???
I guess you were there to witness said action.
Dummy, no one is thinking that.
People are thinking how suspicious it is always when sex crime "victims" come out decades later.
It's like they were fine with it for 19 years and now all the sudden he needs to be punished for something that there's no evidence of.
Right , if it happened to them they would be waiting justice , easy for them to be like that was 20 years ago but they did not have to live with it and also these are most likely not the only 2 women
What's making me furious is his stupid rich friends are saying he shouldn't have a long punishment etc. One of which is Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote that he was a great friend and father. This, while Kutcher has literally spoken out against human trafficking to the federal government! You can pick and choose to believe victims. I don't trust him as an advocate at this point.
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE!!!! EVIDENCE EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!
Scientology arbitration recorded and on transcript, Donkey Punch admitted to anal sex with an unconscious victim. In his church to his victim in front of witnesses. Confession is compelling evidence, no?
I don't understand why it took 20 years for this to be reported? If Danny Masterson was a manager at Chipotle would the DA have prosecuted him? I have questions about that. It always seems when 20 years have passed it's always a public figure involved 🤷🏾♂️
Rape apologist🙂
Should they have just kept quiet?
@@persephonestardust2498 Of course not you ignoramus.
I agree
because trauma never goes away and it takes time to come to terms with it even when its not rape. once someone is brave enough to report it other ppl find the courage to do it as well. lots of the times they are not financially compensated. it doesnt happen with just ppl who are famous. lots of teachers and priests dont get reported for decades. sometimes everybody around them knows.
Im on the fence with this one, I always am when it’s SA related and decades in between. To be it’s he said she said. Child molesters don’t get 30 years, this shows you how f’d up the judicial system.
Yes, I agree. It's basically a he said she said case. Most likely they have cause to appeal. No idea the validity, but it doesn't sit right if it's all circumstantial evidence. And let's not forget many innocent men get life in prison for crimes they didn't commit and are found guilty by jurors, yet it gets appealed decades later by these organizations that free innocent men and women. So jurors and judges DO get it wrong!
@@spiritranger9202 I agree ☝️
There used to be a Statute of Limitations in law....?
@@plsavage I would have thought so but maybe not.
Lots of child molesters do get 30 years. WTF are you talking about? What is your point anyways? Danny is innocent? Incoherent.
It’s apparent that keeping things like this “internal “ was not a wise move, nor respectful to the victims. 😢
Wow. He must have really pissed someone off in Scientology
I would like to see what evidence remains after all those years that got him convicted to 30 years . I’m very skeptical.
Scientology put a Jane Doe into arbitration with Donkey Punch with witnesses and Donkeys legal representation where he admit to anal penetration while his victim was unconscious. Admission is mighty compelling.
Me too. Absolutely!
Why I have a bad feeling that this guy is being wrongfully convicted.
They probably wanted money I remember high school player back in 2001 accused of rape and dragged down the hall way while school was still going on da never visit the school and still put him in jail without any proof
@@JJM34 Gosh, how much money did the victim get?
There is no physical DNA evidence...... There should have to be DNA hard proof evidence...... Not 🚫 just someones recollection of events after they've had some time to discuss it with other possible victims... ... This doesn't seem like justice. There needs to be a solid standard...... Otherwise it becomes dangerous and anyone can say anything.
Don't drop the soap curly Q
😂😂👌🏾👌🏾
I hate to say this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up pulling off another Bill Cosby. I hope that doesn't happen this time.
It won't because Bill had a deal with prosecutors years before his actual trial, where in order to get him to admit to what he did, they had promise he would not be charged with criminal rape, at any point down the line. That's why he went scot-free like he did. I know that's terrible that's how it happened. This case however had no such thing. So mr. Masterson will not get off in any sort of way. He will serve his minimum of 30 years if indeed he is not already dead by then. So please rest easy on this subject. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED.😎
Evidence please
I hope they get over turned. It must be next to impossible to fight a case like this. Someone can accuse anyone 20 years later and how would you prove you side.
Rape is horrible and people that do rape should be charged to the fullest but I find this one hard to believe
My friends life was ruined by someone who accused him of raping her. He was convicted of the crime and on the day of sentencing she came out to say he didn't do it and that she was just scared of admitting what they had done.
You weren't at the trial. What exactly do you find hard to believe about evidence you literally haven't heard?
I think rape or sexual assault should just get a death sentence not even that. I feel like if they like to torture innocent humans they shouldn't live. I don't understand how his wife holding on to a rapist that just nuts or whoever the lady is holding his arm
Yeah we gotta get them out of the gene pool.
Read about the Martinsville Seven.
You are insane for thinking that. You understand that a woman can just cry rape and nearly anyone would believe her?
Gettin screwed is torture, REALLY? So torture the man to death, REALLY, GOT A FEW ISSUES AGAINST MEN DO WE?
@@velocity5918 what????
What was evidence?
No rape victim speaks out in this video. CLICKBAIT!
WTF how can you claim rape 20 years later? This is insane
Yup
Good work ABC! I am only here because I ran into Scientology by my dentist sending me to Clearwater to a doctor related to Lisa McPherson case. I asked them about it and it got so scary!
I fully support women who have been taken advantage of. However, I just don't understand why so many bring it up YEARS later??? It's one thing with Harvey Weinstein because he had a lot of power, but an actor like Danny, not saying he didn't have fame or notoriety, but if they had confessed years ago, I think he would have been held responsible for his actions whether claims are accurate or not.
Most victims don't report at all. Should they stay silent forever?
@persephonestardust2498 No they shouldn't but they shouldn't wait 15 to 20 years to report it. I don't care what the circumstances are, if you are sexually assaulted, you go the police right away! Doesn't matter how much power the man has or how famous he is. It's your right as the victim.
@@dg5175 I see. If some time has passed they need to shut up and let him keep raping. Got it.
@persephonestardust2498 Didn't say that all. Your twisting my words but they should have spoke up a lot sooner regardless. Also, were there other victims after them? Why did they not come forward?
@@dg5175 because that's what most victims do. They are rape survivors. They did what average survivors do.
The thing I hope Masterson understands is that if he had just confessed at the get-go he would have most likely already served most his time and would be close to getting out of prison, the penalty for rape that didn't end in murder was not nearly as harsh back then.
Ironic isn't it.. he thought Scientology would save him because that's what he believed in. And now they can't distance themselves from him, or his actions enough. Too Little Too Late.
Talk about back then well back then you could not just point a finger and say he raped me you had to have proof. I knew a couple of guys that was falsely accused and thank God they beat it.
Exactly, so why do you think he didn’t confess?? Ever consider the fact that it’s because he’s not a rapist …?🤷🏼♀️
@@garysicemore3907👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How can a person be sent to prison for something that happened 20 years ago? I thought murder was the only thing that u could be charged with that long after the offense happened
It was RAPE. Not a minor crime.
@@FanKidsMom yes, rape is horrific, but these women were not raped in the way we all think of rape. They weren't beaten and held down while screaming stop and fighting for their lives. They were given some type of drug and then "woke up" or more likely the next thing they remember is Danny having sex with them. They don't remember wanting to or agreeing to the sexual encounter. He didn't beat them and force himself on these women. We would need to arrest 500 thousand college students if we considered rape getting women drunk, sleeping with them and then the next day they can't remember giving consent. Danny got the women drunk or drugged them and then had sex with them. They could have agreed to it for all we know, because they admit to not having memory of the time after having a drink up until masterson is inside of them. Again, rape is horrific but a story from 20 years ago is too vague to send anyone to prison for 30 years. The mind is a crazy thing and memories are not perfect. Think about something you did 15 years ago. If no one is here to tell u they were with u and it happened, how do u know it actually happened and it wasn't a dream? Everyone has had a dream that felt soo real u thought it actually happened. A 20 year old memory is not reliable enough to send someone to prison for 30 years unless there are 2, 3, 4 people to all confirm what happened.
Rape apologist 🙂

Is there a recording of this trial? Not the first time a woman accuses a man of rape and he gets punished on a lie. I'd like to draw my own conclusions, if possible.
I have to ask. Why was I told too many years had passed maybe like 4 when I was a teenager but in this case they were able to prosecute after 20 years? Curious.
Great question! The statute of limitations changed to life.
It looks more like a hit job on this man. Also wheres the Evidence?
@@prophetseven728 , In the testimony.
Penal Code 799(b)(1) indicates that the California rape statute of limitations doesn’t exist because the prosecution can commence at any time.
Different jurisdictions have different guidelines.
A day of reckoning? They Feel justice has been served? Really? Thirty years? What is he? A Donald Trump
supporter?
The guys from that show have all turned out to be creeps in one way or another. About a year ago, I listened to Topher Grace on Whitney Comings podcast and he talked about kcking a tiny kitten. And Ashton seems super close to Danny and was around his "hookups". Cant trust any of them.
Now get Armie Hammer
What was the Evidence that showed they where drugged!?! I can not find that anywhere.
Bill cosby has left the room!
@@Robd07 What a cosby have to do with this evidence? It a simple question. What was the evidence? We just want to know. It not that complicated.
@@prophetseven728 just that cosby spent 20yrs raping women and is home today
Danny Masterson was sick and the Church of Scientology should have never hid his crimes pray for history victims they're definitely going to make a Lifetime movie about Danny Masterson while he's riding away for 30 years this is really sad because I always had a childhood crush on him when I watch that 70 show😭😭😭😭😭😭
This may sound horrible but whenever I hear feelings being considered in a court case makes me question the evidence & more the money involved.
What money?
@@angelaclark2231 everything, I repeat everything in our society bows down to the all seeing one eye, Mon-ey(e)…Trials wouldn’t exist if people didn’t get payed , this includes the salaries of those dictating the case & the settlements people receive to justify wrong doing. The parents in sandy hook received billions all in the bases of emotional damage. There is a price on the human life & it is monetized as soon as you’re born by the bank. There’s a reason one of the victims in this particular case has already brought up she has spent thousands in therapy because of emotional damage. The lawyer would be considered bad if he/she didn’t seek some type of compensation for the victims. Regardless this is def deep water & a rabbit hole so to sum it all up if he’s really guilty I hope their is more then just emotional damage supporting the claim in the eyes of the jury. I have no sympathy for true rapists but a certain me too attitude has plagued our legal system in the regards of sexual allegations with no factual basis. The truth always comes to light tho in this world or the next !
"If you wanna get rich, start a religion." L. Ron Hubbard
And who starts them. Folks wanting to do criminal acts and be protected by the Gov
They hold their own trials inside the inner circle
And have their own justification system
So you have the floundering members starting a cult pull a gun out on a member they recruited then the member calls the pd on the 2 founding members
And then person ends up dead on the side of road who going blame
What was the reason they started the cult ?..
I thought I'd help a dept out that slow with their investigations all those good 🍩
Then the cult get rich scheme criminals have another member end up dead in her home and then the cult criminals are over cleaning out her house selling everthing online and banking the money. Right dede and chris
Where was ole Kimmie family you two help her get shunned from her family .... .....?.
Most of these type of folks are anti police. Esp if they are going majuamw stores picking up thc gummy bears and volunteering to watch kids in the back room
Then com3 out say men left alone with kids will moleste them
Why very clever extremely clever. And what you doing with Thc gummy bears with Those kids ?... she's soo Vertious just aren't they both just godly godly godly hmmmm
So the inner usually has hit men someone protecting the criminals founders right Steve. The ones coming saying what can do for you
Dede the one dede and chris solve legal problems right dede and chris. When folks that file pd reports just end up dead
Some depts a slower than others
The Gov allows the crap.
It's hard for a Gov that sends folks to war to kill other folks and attend church and justify it with God
So they are charge of what a cult and what's a religion so how are they going to be able to tell the difference
So when bodies start dropping well its just like war hmmm can't do anything it looks like Vertious nice folks taken care of buiness
Oh look the house is starting to look like an army base and police sit around and say it's just like a army base home sweet home look at all the buildings it looks like army base with folks turning the owners in ending up dead nothing wrong it's just like folks an army base in residential street zoned for houses by the city code nothing wrong right pd nothing their just vercious people
It's Fort Hood with folks ended up dead that file pd reports for aiming a gun at them
No need to investigate. It's perfectly normal looking military base in middle of city of garland that pooped up its normal to the pd nothing to investigate just a normal occurrence
For folks wake up and start building army complexes on their property zone residential put signs saying now were a church and we freedom of religion while bodies start piling up hard see anything wrong or the motive right dede
Now Garland has a problem they got two radical off base people with criminal intent
Who built fort Knox on the street cover in Garland texas with a watch tower in called a tree house painted war colors
Then while the complex is being built the owners sons are being brought back at various times arrested for cocaine posseion each time the pd bring their kids back after being arrested more stories go out from dede like the pd kicked her son after drooping him off the pulled guns on folks in her and her.husband so they victims of pd right dede and chris you two are victims
You two are victims so now they are victims of the pd
So now they got a army complex built without any permits from the city to build it. And now they are victims of the pd and then they built a org religion claiming they have freedom of religion in a neighbors zoned for houses not cult businesses
Some folks peace from reckless criminal cults with mentally ill criminal folks starting them with bizzarrse teaching and holding their own justification with formal members ending dead in a place zoned for residential living not cult military complex Garland
Here's the thing she told me about her basically killing her father for the money Then she got turned in to anonymous tip line
So then she knew who was not going to be loyal and yes she's right yup so now she' this vertious baby loving person manipulting folks in her cult to threaten to take outside and beat me up for different views on abortion. Abortion really dede or was it turning you in for your confession about your dad and how did you know who to target for the report. How you know who turned you in.
He could have killed them and been out of jail by now. Something stinks of Hollywood actresses who got promised a TV role then were dumped.
Glad he's being locked up... hope prison gives you what you gave.
It may very well be a moment of justice for these women, as long as there is no doubt their story is true. But this also opens another door. After so many years without DNA evidence, what was the overall "smoking gun" in this trial I wonder if it wasn't just hearsay, cause if that is all there was, I think this opens more doors for women who are not true victims (again, I am not saying these women are not) to do this sort of thing to anyone if they feel they were somehow wronged, even if they weren't in truth. I would like to see how the evidence was presented in this case, cause I can't see how just hearsay and no physical evidence from 15 years before all this is enough to get someone 30 years to life in prison, (a sentence most young people traffickers don't even get for some reason) If its getting this easy to get this big a conviction, then what is to stop another Amber Heard destroy another man's life if they are lying and all it takes is their word? I see a dark future that is starting already where most men will be afraid to approach women with good intentions not knowing if a bad relationship may one day come to bite them on the @$$, cause I have seen cases where some young innocent men (something like 10% of all cases) were found to be false and they served years in prison (a few at least 20) before the truth came out and next to no punishment was given to those women who lied, meaning not only is it easier to lie, but no real punishment in comparison if they are found out. Feelings and politics should never determine an outcome, only facts and evidence and I really wish I knew what they were in this case.
Donkey Punch admitted to anal sex with the unconscious victim to his victim in a church arbitration with Donkeys attorney an church attorney and other witnesses. He admit to it. The evidence from reports and ethics handlings in his church, attorneys, church personnel and their attorney Kendrick Moxon and the victims and witness testimony from individuals at Donkeys home when the assaults occurred. I guess DNA would prove they got Donkey Punched, but that is not the issue now is it? Donkey admits to anal penetration so DNA won't prove much in his attacks. Unconscious persons are incapable of giving consent.
I suggest you look up the definition of hearsay before you keep using it.
@@b.1162 Hearsay: "Information received from other people which cannot be substantiated; rumour." That's the definition online and its how I am using it. Without physical evidence due to being about 15 years since the incident, what actual evidence was used? Not trying to be nasty I would like to know what else other than the victims testimony was used to come to the final conclusion?
@@gutz1981 Donkey himself admitted to analy penetrating an unconscious Jane Doe. I guess Donkey hearsayed hisself.
@@gutz1981 Right underneath it. Hearsay: "The report of another person's words by a witness, which is usually disallowed as evidence in a court of law." And if you're actually interested about the facts of the case, I would think you'd do your research on it instead of trying to smear victims in the RUclips comment section.
How do you get three trials !?!
But what is the physical evidence? Did he get convicted pureley based on allegations. Im not comfortable with a legal system that will give someone 30 years based on statements.
What physical evidence would satisfy you?
@@persephonestardust2498Medical evidence of rape and drug test, video evidence and or voice recordings.
Then move because that's always been true
Why did James Franco get away with it.
Guilty
based off what? Females accusing? More false accusations are made than real ones now days
How does he get 30 years when a drunk wipes out of family of 4 on their way home from the beach while having 5 prior dui convictions and driving on a revoked license only gets a handful of years. I'm not having a issue with this sentence, I have an issue with other sentences that aren't even half this long that take the lives of people.
There wouldnt be any evidence after so much time though. This is suprising.
Scientology forced arbitration with Donkey Punch and his victims where he admit to anal penetration with an unconscious victim.
Rape apologist 😊
But don’t we think trauma, PTSD and years and years of psychotherapy is evidence? don’t we think the courts saw anything to prove it & just judged him guilty on hearsay? don’t we think the fact that multiple victims came forward to tell their story, revealing a pattern of behaviour, is also part of the evidence?
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what any of us think - unless we were part of the investigative team, we are not going to see the very private details of what happened to these victims and the evidence that convinced a judge and jury.
@@melindagibson6358 Wait till the grand jury moves on the obstruction charges... this is FAR from over.
How are you so sure that there won’t be evidence after 30 years? I am sure there was enough evidence and thats why he was sentenced.
Most convincing was the 400k settlement Danny has ALREADY paid to a CoS member that he r@ped. >>>$400k
Is there proof? And how inconstant are their stories of what happened to them? Again... Proof?
Yes. The proof was presented to a jury. The jury listened and unanimously voted to convict. You do know how trials work right?
@@ariefraiser140 these folks seem to have no object permanence. If they didn't see it, it didn't happen. If the trial wasn't spoon-fed to them, they think their lack of information makes them smarter when really, their doubts are answered easily. They just want to live in ignorant disbelief.
@@ariefraiser140 I have seen 0 evidence. Ive read the transcripts. They convicted him on he said she said lmfao

He just wanted to be authentic to the 70s. You know, the Bill Cosby part of the 70s.
20 years to go to trial? California SOL is 10 years? Scientology church not complicit or even charged? These news reports leave many important details to the imagination.
Exactly! Scientology should be charged. PERIOD.
Grand Jury is taking that up as we type. Obstruction of justice, victim intimidation and harrassment, interfering with evidence and obtaining confidential discovery on sex assault victims from a criminal case DURING the trial. Vicki Podberesky 👀!!! Little cult is in a LOT of trouble. It's always worse than you think.
Does this mean John Travolta has to worry now??
Penal Code 799(b)(1) indicates that the California rape statute of limitations doesn’t exist because the prosecution can commence at any time.
I wonder what the physical evidence was?
He got life. He's up for appeal in 30 years.
So, We are now SURE Katie Holmes didnt exaggerate a bit
Amber Heard was honest 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is crazy. Being convicted 20 years after the fact. It’s not fair being a man. My ex from 20 years ago can just make fake allegations with zero proof and I go to jail for rest of my life? Wtf!
I agree, it’s very scary.
Not all women are doing this. And rape is real.
Troll
What evidence was there if any
How come they don’t teach about rape in sex ed class in high school, middle school? But they’re too worried about gender identity
Brave women we love y'all and support you we will get our bargaining power back
we will never go backwards
It sucks to see scientology taking another person out, no matter if they are famous or not. THEY WILL GET YOU IF YOU LEAVE THE CHURCH!
Anyone involved with scientology is automatically suspect, especially for anything involving women. Even so, convincted for a sex crime after 30 years? That is outrageous. Even if he did rape those women (which, given his involvement with scientology, is more probably true than false), there's a reason that there's a statute of limitations on it.
Danny got just what he deserved, rape apologist!! Look inside your evil soul if you think any different!
That 70s Show/ possibly 77 years old when he gets out. Life has a funny way of working out like that.
Oof
May Danny's convictions get overturned. May he also come out of prison alive, physically unharmed & mentally unharmed.
I love how comments under rape victims videos are just men blaming the women and somehow calling her a liar with no supporting evidence while also being hypocritically mad at others for doing the same in reeverse.
Everyone is a skeptic until they are a victim, and justice prevails for them. Then they say, "due diligence." But right now they dont care abiut a legitimate process because they are triggered. Probably these skeptics did something similarly sketchy in their own lives!
I read L. Ron Hubbard's book in 1989 but I never attended a church of Scientology
