Former That 70s Show actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote support letters to the judge overseeing their former co-star Danny Mastersons sexual assault case, asking for leniency in the actors sentencing, several news outlets reported Friday.

Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women at his Hollywood home in the early 2000s.

One of the victims tweeted on Thursday that Kutcher and Kunis, who are married, had written letters asking the judge for leniency in the sentencing. Full copies of both letters were published by reporter Meghann Cuniff on Friday.

In his July letter, Kutcher described Masterson as a role model and someone who has had nothing but a positive influence on him. He later added that the actor is an extraordinarily honest and an intentional human being and a person that is consistently there for you when you need him.

Over 25 year relationship [sic] I dont ever recall him lying to me. Hes taught me about being direct and confronting issues in life and relationships head-on, resolving them, and moving forward, Kutcher wrote.

At the end of his letter, he asked the judge to take his testament to Mastersons character into consideration when sentencing him.

While Im aware that the judgement [sic] has been cast as guilty on two counts of rape by force and the victims have a great desire for justice. I hope that my testament to his character is taken into consideration in sentencing, Kutcher wrote. I do not believe he is an ongoing harm to society and having his daughter raised without a present father would [be] a tertiary injustice in and of itself.

Kunis echoed similar sentiments about Masterson having a positive influence on her, writing in her letter that he was an amazing friend, confidant, and, above all, an outstanding older brother figure to me.

Danny Mastersons warmth, humor, and positive outlook on life have been a driving force in shaping my character and the way I approach lifes challenges, Kunis wrote. His unwavering commitment to being an exceptional older brother figure to me has had a transformative impact on my life, instilling in me a sense of self-belief and encouraging me to aim for greatness, but all while maintaining a sense of humility.

HuffPost reached out to representatives for Kutcher and Kunis for further comment but did not receive an immediate response.

Kutcher and Kunis werent the only ones to send letters of support to the judge.

According to Good Morning America , more than 50 people wrote letters in support of Masterson. This included Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, who played Kitty and Red Forman on Thats 70s Show, and Mastersons wife, Bijou Phillips Masterson, the Los Angeles Times reported .

Kutcher had acknowledged Mastersons rape allegations earlier this year in an interview with Esquire, in which he said he wanted his former co-star to be found innocent of the charges brought against him.

He clarified that he didnt want Masterson to be let off the hook for alleged crimes, but rather for him to be truthfully revealed as innocent. Kutcher declined to comment on what he thought the verdict should be in the trial, which hadnt yet occurred.

Ultimately, I cant know. Im not the judge. Im not the jury. Im not the DA. Im not the victim. And Im not the accused. And so, in that case, I dont have a space to comment. I just dont know, Kutcher told Esquire .

Masterson, 47, was charged with sexual assault of three women in June 2020. He underwent two trials, with the first one ending in November 2022 with the jury deadlocked on all counts . In the second trial, the actor, who is also a prominent Scientologist, was found guilty on two counts of forcible rape on May 31. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on an additional count of rape involving a third woman.

Prosecutors said that Masterson had been protected by Scientology officials for years after he drugged and sexually assaulted the women. The women, who were also Scientologists, testified that the church had barred them from reporting the assaults to police.

Mr. Masterson, you are not the victim here. Your actions 20 years ago took away another persons choice and voice. Your actions 20 years ago were criminal, and thats why you are here, Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo told Masterson on Thursday before announcing his sentence, according to Cuniff .

Mastersons legal team intends to appeal the judges sentencing decision.
