Actor says sexual assault claims are false and tied to anti-Scientology movie

Los Angeles police are investigating after three women reported being sexually assaulted by actor Danny Masterson in the early 2000s, but the actor denies the allegations, which he says are motivated by the producer of an anti-Scientology television series. The inquiry was launched after three women came forward and reported they were sexually assaulted by Masterson in the early 2000s, said Officer Drake Madison, a Los Angeles police spokesman, on Friday.
