Ashton Kutcher Speaks Out on Danny Masterson’s Rape Trial: ‘Ultimately, I Can’t Know’ If He’s Innocent

Speaking to Esquire, Kutcher said what he wants is for Masterson “to be found innocent of the charges brought against him.” However, that doesn’t mean Kutcher wants Masterson off the hook for alleged crimes. Kutcher just hopes Masteron’s alleged behavior isn’t true because Masterson was such a mentor for him throughout his career. If the allegations against Masterson are true, that’s a different story.

“Ultimately, I can’t know,” Kutcher said about the outcome of Masterson’s trial. “I’m not the judge. I’m not the jury. I’m not the DA. I’m not the victim. And I’m not the accused. And so, in that case, I don’t have a space to comment. I just don’t know.”

Kutcher said that Masterson became the ring leader for the young cast of “That ’70s Show” since he had already been working for some time before the Fox series launched. Masterson kept the cast in check and away from drugs, Kutcher remembered. – Source

Ashton Kutcher Running NYC Marathon to Help End Child Sexual Abuse Online: ‘We’ve Got to Fix This’

Ashton Kutcher has a bright smile on his face after completing a long marathon training run on a hot Los Angeles morning. “I genuinely enjoy running,” Kutcher tells PEOPLE. “I don’t enjoy running in pain.”

Kutcher has been having knee issues, but checked in with a doctor to make sure he’s not doing any permanent damage. “I’m trying to manage pain and hopefully be able to get to the starting line with as little pain as possible, so I can enjoy the run. Training’s going good. I mean, I’m running the thing hell or high water,” the 44 year old says.

The actor is running the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 6, to raise money for his foundation Thorn, which works to protect children from sex trafficking.

“The idea that there are children, some of them are preverbal, that are being abused in this way right now today, probably closer to where you live than what you think, that’s hard for people to wrap their head around,” Kutcher says. – Source
