Danny Masterson, who played Steven Hyde on the beloved sitcom "That '70s Show," has been sentenced to prison after being found guilty of raping two women 20 years ago.

The scene in the Los Angeles Superior Court was reportedly emotional as Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo handed down a sentence of 30 years to life in prison for the crimes.

Masterson, who has been in custody since his May conviction, has maintained his innocence and reportedly displayed no emotion during the victim impact statements.

One of the victims addressed the court, stating, in part, "You are pathetic, disturbed, and completely violent. The world is better off with you in prison."

Judge Olmeda chastised him during the sentencing, saying, "Mr. Masterson, you are not the victim here. Your actions 20 years ago took away another person's voice and choice.
