Ashton Kutcher Resigns From Anti-Sex Abuse Group After Backlash Over Danny Masterson Support

  • Ashton Kutcher resigned as chairman from his anti-sex abuse nonprofit Thorn following criticism over his support for convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
  • Kutcher and wife Mila Kunis wrote letters seeking leniency for Masterson, Kutcher's That '70s Show co-star, before he was sentenced to 30 years to life.
  • The couple later apologized amid backlash, saying the letters were not meant to question the testimony of victims.
  • Kutcher said in his resignation letter that he didn't want his poor judgment to distract from Thorn's mission to combat child sexual exploitation.
  • Thorn acknowledged Kutcher's contributions and commitment to defending children from abuse as he steps down.
