Danny Masterson filed an appeal to his September 2023 rape conviction. The disgraced actor was found guilty of two counts of forcible rape in May 2023.
Danny Masterson's legal team filed an appeal Wednesday to the disgraced actor's 2023 rape conviction, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The defense requested that convictions be overturned due to numerous procedural and substantive errors that compromised the fairness and reliability of the trial, per the documents.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo sentenced Masterson to 15 years to life on each count, and ordered the sentences to be served consecutively. Masterson initially faced up to 45 years in prison if found guilty on three counts of rape by force or fear for alleged sexual assaults that occurred between 2001 and 2003 at his Hollywood Hills home. He was arrested in June 2020 and was free on $3.3 million bond.
