Actor Daniel Masterson, who played 'Hyde' on That '70s Show, charged with forcibly raping 3 women

Actor Daniel Masterson, most commonly known for his roles as Steven Hyde in That '70s Show and Jameson "Rooster" Bennett in The Ranch, was charged Wednesday with forcibly raping three women, the district attorney's office announced.

Masterson, 44, was charged with three counts of rape by force or fear in separate incidents occurring between 2001 and 2003.

But wait, there's more

Additionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file sexual assault charges against Masterson in two other cases, one for insufficient evidence and the other based upon the statute of limitations for the crime alleged.

Well, good on them for actually going to the police instead of social media. Always weird to see these things play out 20 years later, but I guess that happens sometimes with trauma.

They went to the police almost 20 years ago.

Lock em up (if he's found guilty)!!

 

[LoV]

Better Hyde, get it?

How do you even verify something 20 years ago?

 

[Darko]

Dammit Hyde!

 

[Jooxed]

I remember this has been going on for a while he hasn't been on The Ranch for a couple seasons. Good they finally got the evidence if true.

He played Hyde and Seek with his penis.

Rape is no laughing matter unless you're raping a clown.

 

[Halo is Back]

No surprise that Hollywood is full of rapist

 

[Brian Fellows]

God damn it Hyde! It's a good thing I can still enjoy a person's work even if they are a horrible POS. That 70's Show was one of my go-to comedies on Netflix during the quarantine.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

My sincere condolences to brap

 

[Dthomp]

Not gonna lie, I always thought he seemed like a piece of shit in real life, now I know for sure he is.

[teezzy]

I wonder if Netflix quits playing That 70s Show as a result.

 

[GymWolf]

I remember this guy from men at work...

 

[Coily]

Why couldn't he just go to Vegas and hire hookers?

Has his syndication cheques stopped coming in the mail?

Now go drop the soap in jail

well, he is a scientologist.

Oh! Xenu is taking his syndication cheques

That 70s Show is an alternate universe where Robocop never kills him and he marries bitch #1 and settles down

He was a great villain, but I think he was an even better hardass dad.

He must have pissed someone off. Cosby only got 10 years and was released way before then.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

what a creep

 

[The Lunch Legend]

How long before Tate goes down?

 

[Happosai]

Ironic. I remember the Beethoven 1 & 2 movies and their popularity back in the 90's. Masterson plays the 'cool guy' protecting the oldest daughter in the 2nd movie from a rape attempt.

 

[Kenpachii]

Read the whole thing and holy shit how is that scientology garbage church still not banned? That whole church seems like a dam shield for rapists.

Also he's 47 now, that's 77 when he gets out. Yea his life is over.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Scum

 

[F0rneus]

Rapists get what they deserved!

 

[Chronicle]

He played Hyde and Seek with his penis.

Now he'll be playing 'Don't Drop the Soap in the Shower'.

Took me a bit to realize this was from 2020.

The older I get the firmer I believe sex after marriage is best. While marriage won't prevent rape, with the right mindset it can help avoid trying to acquire sex. As with many things in life, forcing typically does more harm than good.

On another note, about 12 people banned since this thread was made in 2020. So many names, it was hard to not over count.

Dudes got some money for sure. Not bad looking...

Why rape?

What a way to fuck up multiple lives including your own.

I am sure there is a whole lot more to it than that. Power tripping, feeling like you are on top of the world/above the law because of wealth and fame, being terribly insecure and getting gratified by humiliating others, extreme narcissism, take your pick there's plenty..
