That '70s Show actor Danny Masterson has been charged with the rapes of three women in the early 2000s, according to Los Angeles prosecutors.
Key points:
- Mr Masterson has been charged with raping a woman in 2001 and two women in 2003
- His attorney says his client "is innocent"
- That '70s show ran from 1998 to 2006
The three counts of rape by force or fear come after a three-year investigation of the 44-year-old.
The charges were filed on Tuesday and Mr Masterson was arrested the following morning, jail records showed.
He was being held on $US3.3 million ($4.8 million) bail.
Mr Masterson has been 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.
His attorney, Tom Mesereau, said his client "is innocent".
"We're confident that he will be exonerated when all the evidence finally comes to light and witnesses have the opportunity to testify," Mr Mesereau said in a statement.
"Obviously, Mr Masterson and his wife are in complete shock considering that these nearly 20-year-old allegations are suddenly resulting in charges being filed, but they and their family are comforted knowing that ultimately the truth will come out.
"The people who know Mr Masterson know his character and know the allegations to be false."
Mr Masterson played Steven Hyde on the popular sitcom, which ran from 1998 to 2006.
