Another day, another Hollywood-Netflix hack accused of rape. This time it’s Danny Masterson who I am not overly family with. I also has something to do with the crazy Scientologist religion or cult. Just another day in Harveywood and at Netflix.

Danny Masterson was accused of rape by four women in the early 2000s, and those allegations resurfaced on Thursday in the wake of recent accusations of misconduct against several Hollywood figures.
A report by HuffPost on Thursday reignited claims by four women accusing Masterson of rape. A woman filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2004 saying Masterson raped her when she was “passed out.” The three other women, who are Scientologists like Masterson, allegedly reported their incidents with the 41-year-old star to the Church of Scientology.Andrew Brettler, a lawyer at Lavely & Singer speaking on behalf of Masterson, told Fox News the LAPD closed the 2004 case against Masterson after conducting its investigation.
However, police later opened the case again earlier this year after reports swirled about the accusations thanks to Leah Remini’s anti-Scientology series, “Scientology and the Aftermath.”
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office got a hold of the case in April 2017 after police referred it to them, HuffPost reported. The district attorney has not made a decision on charging Masterson with a crime.
