    This is the first I’m hearing of this - Yes I’ve been living under a rock. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what he did? The article said it happened in the 2000s but didn’t give specifics.

      Danny Masterson is a rapist and Scientologist.

      He’s going gaol because Scientology couldn’t protect him from the consequences his actions forever.

        Interesting, I’ve never seen that form of the word jail actually used today. Where are you from if I may ask?

          There is a Jaol Rd around where I used to live in Canada, it’s the road the provincial jail is on.

          Australia.

          Jail’s slowly edging out as the only spelling post-Americanisation, but I was taught gaol in the '90s so it’s not super archaic here like it probably is in other Commonwealth countries.

            Oh how interesting, I went to school in the early 00’s and we only ever learnt jail. Tbh, the only time I ever gaol anymore is on historic gaols.
