DELANO, Calif. (AP) — “That ‘70s Show” actor Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions.

Authorities said Wednesday that the 47-year-old Masterson has been admitted to North Kern State Prison, and they released his first prison mug shot. The photo shows him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard.

    He’s lucky we live in a civil society.

    I’d have voted to chemically castrate anyone convicted of rape and then put him in gen pop.

        Oh that’s easy the supreme Court already said it doesn’t matter. Being convicted is enough even if you are truly innocent.

        Nobody is ever wrongfully convicted. We have the perfect system and it never ever makes mistakes.

          I guess we’re all going to slide past the gen pop as a shortcut to capital punishment. Makes the chemical castration kind of irrelevant, doesn’t it?

        In my scenario, the proof would have to be concrete so ideally there’s no such thing as wrongly convicted.

        Proof like caught in the act, semen / blood sample and / or video proof like with child porn.

          Literally all of that can easily be falsified, and historically has been to wrongly imprison people.

          Caught in the act by the judge and jury themselves? Or by a witness who promises they saw it?

          Video proof like what AI can easily fabricate these days?

            It sounds like you don’t trust any evidence and think Danny was falsely imprisoned based on that lack of trust.

            Is everyone in jail innocent?

              You’ve chosen to miss the point by taking my statement to extremes.

              If you demand harsher punishment, it’ll happen to at least one innocent person. It doesn’t matter who that innocent person is. You’re stating that’s okay with you.

          Basically impossible unless people start raping people in the police station, even then good luck getting cops to collect evidence on eachother

          Also semen… If I creampie my wife she can go claim rape? What about every other woman I’ve creampied? Why do you think any single piece of evidence could be strong enough for this sentence? Even a video could just be roleplay on it’s own.

          You need to read up on how people are prosecuted before making suggestions how they should be sentenced.

            If you creampie your wife and she uses that against you to charge you with rape, you married a cunt or you raped her. Or both.

            Great example Einstein.

              So your response to “this can be easily faked” is “guess you should have picked a better wife”??

        And you’re basically valuing the quality of life of rapists over that if their victims.

        Unless you intend to rape somebody, what personal stake do you have in what form of punishment is appropriate for such a vile act?

            Is the person you replied to worse than the hypothetical rapist in their argument?

            I don’t see your point. So yeah, missing it big time.

        I’m admitting I’d support worse treatment for people who rape than what we do currently.

        If that makes me a shit person. I’m ok with that.
