Danny Masterson Denied Bail, Deemed Flight Risk Amid Divorce

The actor, serving a 30-year sentence for rape, faces a civil harassment case alongside the Church of Scientology in 2025.

Danny Masterson, convicted of two counts of rape, has been denied bail by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo, who cited him as a potential flight risk.
The judge's decision was influenced by Masterson's ongoing divorce from Bijou Phillips, stating that Masterson now has 'every incentive to flee'.
Masterson is currently serving a 30-year to life sentence and will be eligible for parole in 20 years.
His legal team had requested bail, offering to comply with house arrest and/or an electronic monitoring program, and arguing that Masterson possessed a 'lack of dangerousness'.
Masterson and the Church of Scientology face a civil harassment case set to go to trial in September 2025, with new potential RICO claims and more rape claims.
