A new trial on rape allegations is underway for actor Danny Masterson after the first ended in a hung jury last year.
The jury for Danny Masterson's retrial on three charges of forcible rape hadn't even entered the courtroom Monday morning before the fireworks began.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo quickly denied that request and Remini remained seated in the front row of the courtroom gallery throughout the day. Masterson has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing. His first trial on these charges ended with a hung jury and a mistrial in late November 2022. "She decided to report him after this," Mueller said. "But reporting him meant not going to police, not law enforcement -- it meant going to officials with the Church of Scientology."
The Church of Scientology said in a statement during the first trial that it "has no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of Scientologists, or of anyone, to law enforcement. Quite the opposite. Church policy explicitly demands Scientologists to abide by all laws of the land."
"This case truly is, from an informational standpoint, a basic case," Cohen said. "It comes down to three nights, 20-plus years ago, with no percipient witnesses, no forensics."

Actor Danny Masterson drugged, raped women, prosecutor saysA Los Angeles prosecutor told jurors that actor Danny Masterson drugged three women before raping them. Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told a jury Monday during opening statements at the second trial of the star of “That ‘70s Show” that Masterson gave drugged drinks to each of the women, then raped them in his home between 2001 and 2003. Mueller had not been allowed to directly assert that the women were drugged at Masterson's first trial, where a deadlocked jury led to a mistrial. Masterson's attorneys have denied the allegations, saying the women’s stories are full of inconsistencies and are not credible.
