Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller on Monday said Masterson put substances into drinks that he gave to a longtime girlfriend and two women he knew through friends around the Church of Scientology, all of whom Masterson is charged with raping.Actor Danny Masterson is accused of drugging and raping three women.
Direct discussion of the drug element was missing from the first trial, with Mueller instead having to imply it through the testimony of the women, who said they were woozy, disoriented and at times unconscious on the nights they described the actor raping them.But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine F Olmedo is allowing the direct assertion at the second trial.
Mueller spent much of his presentation on Masterson's longtime girlfriend, an actress and model who he says will testify that their relationship had grown increasingly physically and sexually abusive before he raped her in December of 2001.

Feminists ‘silent’ on ‘patronising depiction of oppressing women’s problems’ in CanadaThe Canadian parliament has demonstrated how hard it is for “poor women to wear high heels” which was supposed to show sympathy but rather looked like “condescension,” according to Sky News host Cory Bernardi. “Where are the feminists decrying this patronising depiction of oppressing women’s problems?
