"That ’70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women.

The decision came after a Los Angeles jury found Masterson, 47, guilty of two of three counts of forcible rape during a retrial in May.

Jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on the third count, which alleged Masterson raped a longtime girlfriend. The third count was declared a mistrial and has been dismissed by prosecutors, who said they will not retry the charges.

Outside of the court after the decision, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller said that it was the “right decision” in finding the 47-year-old former actor “accountable.” Mueller added that “even though it’s been 20 years, it still matters. A crime still happened.”
