DELANO, Calif. (AP) — “That ‘70s Show” actor Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions.

Authorities said Wednesday that the 47-year-old Masterson has been admitted to North Kern State Prison, and they released his first prison mug shot. The photo shows him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard.

    Like I said I agree.

    I just feel like a lot more people would resort to something like that if it was more personal.

    Basically people are hypocrites and always say they’d do the right thing until they’re in that circumstance and then all of a sudden it’s not such an easy decision

      Idunno. There’s a difference between not doing the right thing, and going out of your way to do the wrong thing. I can understand someone not wanting to provide evidence against their friend in court, but I cannot fathom writing a letter requesting leniency for my friend after I find out he raped two women. If he continued to question whether his friend actually committed those crimes, I could maybe understand it, but he acknowledged Masterson’s guilt. I would be too upset with him to do that, especially if I were involved with an organization that exists to bring an end to sexual violence.

      And you’re going to say “that’s easy to say until you’re in that situation,” but it would also be easy to do if I were in that situation. I’ve dropped long-time friends for less. I would be a wholly different person if I were capable of requesting leniency for a rapist.

        And hey good on you. I’m glad you have the resolve and self respect to push those people out of your life. I’m that type of person myself. I’ve just seen the opposite happen so many times that I’m surprised people are still surprised when it happens
