Judge declares mistrial in Danny Masterson rape case

In June 2020, the That '70s Show actor was charged with three counts of forcibly raping three women with the incidents allegedly taking place between 2001 and 2003. Masterson has denied all claims. Following a month-long trial, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo announced on Wednesday that the jury remained deadlocked following several days of deliberations and declared a mistrial. A retrial is slated to begin on 27 March 2023. Masterson remains free on $3.3 million (£2.7 million) bail. He has not yet commented on the mistrial.
