Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions.
The "That ‘70s Show" actor was admitted to North Kern State Prison, authorities said Wednesday, Dec. 27.
A
prison mug shot of the 47-year-old has been released. The photo shows
him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard.
In
June, Masterson was convicted of raping two women in his Los Angeles
home in 2003. In September, a judge sentenced him to 30 years to life in
prison.
His wife, actor Bijou Phillips, filed for divorce in the weeks that followed after a marriage of nearly 12 years.
He
had been held in Los Angeles County jail in the months since while
post-sentencing hearings were held and issues resolved, including the
turnover of all the guns Masterson owned, some of which had to be
located.
It will be more than 25 years before Masterson will be eligible for parole.
Masterson’s lawyers said they plan to appeal the conviction.
