LOS ANGELES (AP) — “That ’70s Show” star Danny Masterson could get 30 years to life in prison at his sentencing for the rapes of two women two decades ago. A Los Angeles judge is set to sentence the 47-year-old actor Thursday. The sentencing will happen after the judge rules on a defense motion for a new trial that she’s likely to reject, and after hearing statements from the victims. A jury in May found Masterson guilty of the forcible rape of the two women at his Hollywood-area home. The jurors failed to reach a verdict on a third rape allegation. Masterson’s lawyers argued at trial that the encounter were consensual.
