Actor Danny Masterson, left, stands with his attorney, Thomas Mesereau as he is arraigned on rape charges at Los Angeles Superior Court, in Los Angeles, Calif. on Friday, Sept. 18, 2020. “There have been repeated attempts to politicize this case,” said Mesereau, who also represented Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson in their sexual misconduct cases. “We want to do anything we can to tone down the cameras and the circus-like atmosphere that have pervaded this case," the attorney said. Despite dozens of investigations, most have led to no charges based on lack of evidence or too much time passing. He was removed from the Netflix show “The Ranch” in 2017 over the allegations that would eventually lead to the charges.

Read full article: Danny Masterson, Church of Scientology Sued By Sexual Assault Accusers for Alleged Stalking &

Danny Masterson and the Church of Scientology, along with church leader David Miscavige, are now facing a lawsuit leveled by the four woman who, in 2017, accused Masterson of sexual assault. The lawsuit sites Church founder L. Ron Hubbard's 1972 book Introduction to Scientology Ethics as the source for the claim. She claims Masterson "regularly forced [her] to have sex with him and became violent when [she] refused." Jane Doe #1 claims that, when she gained consciousness with Masterson allegedly raping her, she attempted to fight back. The lawsuit alleges that the Church of Scientology worked to silence Jane Doe #1 after she reported the incident to Church officials.
