SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Actor Danny Masterson, best known for his role in “That ’70s Show”, has been transferred to a state prison in San Luis Obispo, according to state officials.
When he was first sent to state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions at the end of last year, Masterson was housed inside North Kern State Prison. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 47-year-old Masterson is now being housed inside the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo.
In September 2023, Masterson was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for two counts of rape with force, violence or fear of bodily injury, authorities say. The star was convicted on two of the three rape charges he faced.
Prosecutors say both incidents occurred at Masterson’s Hollywood-area home in 2003 when he was at the height of his fame due to the success of “That ‘70s Show.”
On its website, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation describes the California Men’s Colony (CMC) prison as “committed to providing its inmate population with meaningful rehabilitative resources in order to ensure the men who are released from CMC have the opportunity to rejoin society as peaceful, productive citizens.”
Masterson is eligible for parole in June 2042.
