Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Pen Heartfelt Support Letters for Danny Masterson

• Fifty people wrote letters to a judge asking for leniency in Danny Masterson’s sentencing for rape.
• Actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote individual letters praising Masterson’s character.
• Both Kutcher and Kunis said Masterson was a great father and an anti-drug advocate.

Actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis penned heartfelt letters of support for their former “That 70s Show” co-star Danny Masterson, 47, after he was found guilty of raping two women earlier this year.

Los Angeles Superior court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo sentenced Masterson to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday after a jury found him guilty of two counts of rape in May.

Over the course of two trials, three women, all of whom are former Scientologists, testified that Masterson, who is also a prominent Scientologist, drugged them and raped them between 2001 and 2003, alleging the Church of Scientology later silenced their accusations.

Kutcher and Kunis, who are married, submitted individual letters praising Masterson’s character and asking Olmedo for leniency when sentencing Masterson, according to legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff.

In his letter, Ashton Kutcher identified himself as an actor, investor, philanthropist, and “most importantly a father” as he wrote admiringly of Danny Masterson’s relationship with his 9-year-old daughter whom he shares with wife Bijou Phillips.
