2. That '70s Show' actor Danny Masterson charged with raping 3 women
Actor Danny Masterson has been charged with forcibly raping three women in separate incidents between 2001 and 2003. Reports of the incidents have been well-known for years and Masterson was written off the Netflix show "The Ranch" in 2017.
Many speculated Masterson's strong ties to Scientology kept him safe from prosecution for so long.
The district attorney’s office says it declined to file sexual assault charges against Masterson in two other cases, one for insufficient evidence and the other based upon the statute of limitations for the crime alleged.
3. Roosevelt Bridge closed after concrete seen falling

All north and southbound lanes of the bridge, along with Old Dixie Highway which runs underneath the bridge, are now closed until further notice while engineers inspect and repair the damage.
