Former The Ranch actor Danny Masterson has been formally charged with sexual assault, and the news has both fans and critics sounding off. According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney website, the actor “has been charged with forcibly raping three women in separate incidents occurring between 2001 and 2003.”
The press release added that all of “the alleged crimes occurred” at Masterson’s home and that if he is convicted, he “faces a possible maximum sentence of 45 years to life in state prison.” Allegations of sexual assault emerged against Masterson many years ago, but after a police investigation, he was not charged. The allegations arose again while he was starring on The Ranch, leading Netflix to fire him. Now that he has been officially charged, many have strong opinions, and they are sharing them online. Scroll down to read some reactions to the news about Masterson’s sexual assault charges.

he denied it in 2017- but reading reports and and seeing the lawsuits- it apeears he made sure the Church of Scientology lawyers did what they do best: stalked and intimidated the victims.

The article says thereโs two more the DA declined to prosecute because of lack of evidence or statue of limitations… Iโm sure thereโs more
