A second trial in June resulted in the actor and prominent Scientologist, now 47 years old, being found guilty of all charges against him. He featured in the throwback TV sitcom for eight seasons till 2006. A jury could not reach a unanimous decision about the claim that he raped a third lady.

In the Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Charlaine Olemdo made the announcement regarding the sentencing.

While the women were giving their victim impact statements, Masterson seemed to maintain his composure. He was presented with an opportunity to speak, but he declined it.

“I release you from blame. “I am relieved that I no longer have to feel the pain of your illness,” said one of the victims, who was only identified in court documents as Jane Doe 2.

Masterson is alleged to have met his accusers through the Church of Scientology, and his accusers have stated that they were discouraged from reporting the incident by the organization. This helped bring the case to the public’s attention.

This allegation was refuted by the Church of Scientology, which also stated that Masterson’s religious beliefs should not have played a role in the proceedings.

The ladies said that Masterson drugged them before sexually assaulting them at his home in the Hollywood Hills on multiple occasions between the years 2001 and 2003.

The allegations leveled against Masterson harmed his professional reputation. In 2017, following the initial allegations that he had sexually assaulted many women, he was terminated from his role in the Netflix series “The Ranch.”

“The prisons and correctional services division of the home department (cells) in Bihar is worried about making prisons safer. Communication gadgets that can’t be used in jails have been a problem for a long time. “We have approved a plan to put frisking booths in all prisons to make sure that mobile phones and other banned items can’t be brought inside,” S. Siddhartha, assistant chief secretary (home department), told PTI on Wednesday.

“In addition to this, a plan to put T-HCBS in 15 prisons has been accepted, and the work has already begun. This will stop people from communicating without permission from inside the jail, and any attempt to do so will be caught,” he said.

He said that the process of installing T-HCBS in 15 jails will be finished soon. He also said that the department has started looking for firms that are qualified to work on the project. “Once the project is given to a qualified firm or firms, it has to be done by a certain date,” he said.

According to a note from the department, “As directed by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) surveyed the coverage, capacity, and quality of signal in prison complexes and the areas around them.” Different telecom service providers (TSPs) looked at the work done on the survey and the optimization.

“Based on the evaluations of all TSPs, the work of adjusting and optimizing antennas is done. After optimizing the area around the prisons, DoT found that there are still signs and ways to talk to people without permission inside the prisons.”
