Masterson has been interned at Corcoran State Prison in Central California and will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old

Danny Masterson has been moved to Corcoran State Prison in Central California, where infamous cult leader Charles Manson spent years of his life.

The former That ‘70s Show star, 47, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after he was found guilty of raping two women over two decades ago.

Just last week, Masterson was denied bail pending appeal over fears the convicted rapist has “every incentive to flee”.

The Wrap first reported that, according to state records, Masterson has officially been moved to Corcoran after spending time in an LA County lockup and later the North Kern State Prison intake facility.

Records show that the actor will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old.

Blogger Jeffrey Augustine reports that Masterson will be housed in the prison’s Level 4 maximum security housing unit – the highest level of security available.

    Man I’m reading this whole thread trying to find out what he did and how they nailed him, yet I’m not finding any more info. Really surprising such an old case and he gets hammered this hard.

      They had the testimony of three victims who gave detailed descriptions of the rapes. And he did not testify in his defense to refute their testimony. Typical rape cases are difficult to prosecute when it is the victim’s word against the accused’s. In this case, there were three women with very similar stories, and he was silent.
