At the height of Danny Masterson’s career in the sitcom he is best known for, “That ’70s Show,” he raped two women more than 20 years ago and is now facing 30 years to life in prison.

“The body is a relentless witness,” one of the accusers spoke of the lastling impact Masterson’s actions have had on them. N. Trout, said in a statement that was read aloud in the courtroom on Thursday. “When you raped me you stole from me,” she said. “That is what rape is, a theft of the spirit.”

The rape may have taken place over 20 years ago but the evidence is convicting. Women need to begin to understand that their voices can be heard though time has gone on. This case and the fact that the perpetrator was found guilty though he is an icon shows that rape victims will be heard.
