Convicted rapist and actor Danny Masterson has been transferred to the maximum security prison where Charles Manson was long held.
The That ’70s Show alum, who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women, has been transferred from North Kern State Prison in Delano, California to Corcoran State Prison in Corcoran, California. on Monday, where he is expected to serve most of his sentence.
