The jury has reached a verdict in the Danny Masterson sexual assault case.
The star of “That '70s Show” was found guilty of two out of three rape charges on Wednesday, The L.A. Times reports.
This was the second trial for Masterson after a previous jury was deadlocked on all three counts in 2022.
The Times reports Danny’s wife Bijou Phillips sobbed after the verdict was read.
Masterson was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting three women that he met in the early 2000s.
The actor has denied any wrongdoing.
The Times notes that during the trial, his attorney Phillip Cohen repeatedly stressed that there was no evidence of the drugging or corroboration of the assaults.
