Danny Masterson is officially housed at a high security prison , according to state records from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation .
The “That ’70s Show” star’s move to Corcoran State Prison in Central California comes a week after a state judge denied him bail, pending his appeal, for a September conviction for raping two women in 2003. The facility is one of 10 institutions “for the most violent and dangerous male offenders” in the state, the corrections department says. ( Cult leader Charles Manson was also housed at Corcoran State Prison since 1989.)
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo wrote in her order last week that she deemed Masterson to be a flight risk, according to documents that were originally provided by entertainment outlets The Wrap and Deadline .
“If defendant’s conviction and sentence are upheld on appeal, he will likely remain in custody for decades and perhaps the rest of his life,” Olmedo wrote in her order, per The Wrap.
