Kutcher said that the character statement he submitted to the judge is “yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences.”
Ashton Kutcher, co-founder of Thorn – a technology company protecting children from sexual abuse – announced Friday he would resign from the organization’s board amid backlash he received for supporting former co-star and convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
“This decision is rooted in the recognition of recent events and ensuring Thorn remains focused on its mission: to build technology to defend children from sexual abuse,” the company, founded by Kutcher and Demi Moore, said in a statement.
On Sept. 7, a Los Angeles judge sentenced Masterson to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women.
