Danny Masterson is charged with raping the women between 2001 and 2003 in his home, which functioned as a social hub when he was at the height of his fame.
Danny Masterson, former star of the long-running sitcom"That '70s Show," is about to face three women in court two decades ago at a trial whose key figures are all current or former members of the Church of Scientology.
"This is not going to become a trial on Scientology," Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo asserted at a pre-trial hearing. But she said she would allow its discussion as a reason why the women delayed reporting to authorities. Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller, the lead prosecutor, may want to tread carefully on the subject too.
Another, a onetime friend of Masterson's who had been born into Scientology, testified that, in 2003, he had taken her upstairs from the hot tub at his Los Angeles home and raped her in his bedroom.
