Danny Masterson sentenced to 30 years to life for rape convictions

Actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison Thursday after a jury convicted him earlier this year of raping two women 20 years ago, according to the Los Angeles district attorney's office. Prosecutors said the rapes occurred in 2003 while Masterson, now 47, was starring in the hit sitcom "That '70s Show."

"This has been a long and arduous road for the victims of Mr. Masterson," Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement to CBS News after the sentencing. "They not only survived his abuse, they also survived a system that is often not kind to victims."

Masterson was convicted in May of raping a 28-year-old woman in April 2003 and a 23-year-old woman later that year, according to prosecutors. Both incidents happened at Masterson's Hollywood Hills home.
