That ‘70s Show actor Danny Masterson was charged with the rapes of three women in the early 2000s, Los Angeles prosecutors have said.

The three counts of rape by force or fear come after a three-year investigation of the 44-year-old Masterson.

The charges were filed on Tuesday and an arrest warrant was issued, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

It’s not clear whether he has been taken into custody.

Masterson is charged with raping a 23-year-old woman in 2001, a 28-year-old woman in early 2003 and a 23-year-old woman in late 2003.

An attorney for Masterson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Masterson denied the allegations in a statement when they investigation was made public in 2017.
