Masterson was declared guilty of the crime of raping the two women during the second trial after his first trial was rendered invalid.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo allowed the victims of his crimes to read impact statements in court ahead of his sentencing.
According to prosecutors, Masterson drugged and forcefully raped the women. These women took the rape allegation to Church of Scientology and they allegedly protected the actor .
The women who were questioned as to why they did not take the case to the police or to court, said that they were told by the church of Scientology that they were not raped.
According to the victims, the church of Scientology put them through a program called ethics programs and told them not to tell the law enforcement.
