Danny Masterson Transferred To Prison That Housed Charles Manson

CALIFORNIA — After being convicted of rape last year, Danny Masterson has recently been moved to Corcoran State Prison, the maximum-security facility that was the home of Charles Manson for years, the Wrap reported.

The "That '70s Show" actor is expected to serve the bulk of his 30-years-to-life sentence at Corcoran, the Wrap reported. The prison has been home to some of the Golden State's most notorious inmates over the years. Prison records show he will be eligible for parole in 2042, when he's 66.

Masterson in May was convicted of raping two women at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003. The crimes occurred at the height of his "That '70s Show" fame.

The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on a third count, an allegation that Masterson also raped a longtime girlfriend.

The verdict was the second trial for Masterson on the charges; a jury had failed to reach verdicts on the charges in 2022, and a mistrial was declared.

The women whose testimony led to Masterson’s conviction said that in 2003, he gave them drinks and that they then became woozy or passed out before he violently raped them.

Prosecutors alleged that Masterson used his prominence in the Church of Scientology — where all three women were also members at the time — to avoid consequences for decades after the attacks.

"They were raped, they were punished for it, and they were retaliated against," Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told jurors at the trial. “Scientology told them there’s no justice for them.”

Manson, who was sentenced in 1971 for the Tate–LaBianca murders, was housed at Corcoran State Prison from 1989 to just before his death in 2017, according to state corrections officials.
