Danny Masterson Begins 30-Year Sentence in Charles Manson's Final Prison

Within the walls of Corcoran State Prison, once home to Charles Manson, Danny Masterson begins serving his sentence of 30 years to life for two rapes. Beyond the immediate reality of imprisonment and the looming possibility of parole in 2042, Masterson’s narrative is further complicated by legal entanglements with the Church of Scientology.

This connection is not just a footnote but a significant chapter in the saga, as Masterson, alongside the church, faces a civil harassment case brought by some of the Jane Does from his criminal trial. This legal battle, set for trial in September 2025, suggests a complex intertwining of Masterson’s personal actions and the church’s alleged involvement or influence. The case against Masterson and the Church of Scientology, which includes potential RICO claims and additional rape allegations, paints a grim picture of a man once celebrated for his role on television now ensnared in a web of legal and moral questions.
