Danny Masterson Files Appeal to Overturn Rape Convictions

The actor's legal team claims trial errors and omitted evidence undermined the fairness of his 2023 convictions for raping two women.

Danny Masterson has submitted a 246-page appeal brief challenging his 2023 rape convictions and 30-year prison sentence.
His lawyers argue the trial was marred by judicial errors and claim key exculpatory evidence was withheld from the jury.
The appeal alleges inconsistencies in the victims' testimonies and suggests financial motives influenced their accounts.
Masterson's legal team plans to file a separate habeas corpus petition to document additional alleged trial defects.
Prosecutors maintain the victims' evolving accounts are consistent with trauma and dispute claims of unfair trial procedures.
