Danny Masterson pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault after being accused of raping three women — inside court verdict
The verdict is in. A judge declared a mistrial after jurors were unable to reach a verdict in Danny Masterson‘s sexual assault trial, Us Weekly can confirm.
“While we are disappointed with the outcome in this trial, we thank the jurors for their service,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said in a statement to Us on Wednesday, November 30. “We also want to give our heartfelt appreciation to the victims for bravely stepping forward and recounting their harrowing experiences. We also are thankful for the hard work of the prosecution team and we will now consider our next steps as it relates to prosecuting this case.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo declared that the jurors were “hopelessly deadlocked” after they were unable to reach a consensus, according to the Associated Press. The jury foreman told the outlet that they were unable to reach a unanimous vote on any of the three rape charges that Masterson, 46, was facing after two days of voting. The case will return to court for a retrial in March 2023.
