TL;DR Summary

Actor Danny Masterson, known for his role in "That '70s Show," has been found guilty of two counts of rape and could face 30 years to life in prison. The jury could not reach a verdict on the third count. Masterson's prominence in the Church of Scientology was used to avoid consequences for decades, according to prosecutors. Masterson's wife, Bijou Phillips, gasped when the verdict was read and wept as he was taken into custody. Masterson's attorneys will almost certainly appeal.
