A judge has said that actor Danny Masterson, famous for appearing in US sitcom That 70s Show, must stand trial on three counts of rape. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine F Olmedo made the determination in the fourth day of a preliminary hearing where the prosecution laid out its evidence. That included dramatic and emotional testimony from three women who took the stand to say that Masterson raped them in 2001 and 2003.
