Woman who alleges rape by Danny Masterson delivers emotional testimony over 4 days

A woman who said the actor Danny Masterson in 2003 raped her while threatening her with a gun spent four days telling her story last week in graphic and emotional testimony.

Known only as Jen B., she was the first of three women who are accusing Masterson of rape to testify. On the stand, she recounted, sometimes through tears, how a friendly, "brother-sister" relationship turned dark after the "That '70s Show" actor violently assaulted her as she went in and out of consciousness.

She told jurors of how she feared the Church of Scientology and was pressured by its officials not to go to law enforcement with her allegations of rape against Masterson, a high-profile church member.
