During Masterson’s retrial, given that his first was declared a mistrial, prosecutors alleged the 45-year-old sexually assaulted three women between 2001 and 2003 at his Hollywood Hills home. Masterson, who pleaded not guilty and did not testify, was found guilty on two counts, with the jury unable to reach a verdict on the third count.
After the sentencing, Shawn Holley, one of Masterson’s attorneys, maintained his innocence in a statement to E! News, adding that Masterson “did not commit the crimes for which he has been convicted and we—and the appellate lawyers—the best and the brightest in the country—are confident that these convictions will be overturned.”
