Best known for his role in ‘That 70s Show’, Danny Masterson is charged with the rapes of three women who were all in their 20s in 2001-2003 when it happened.
Mr Masterson, 44, denies the charges and has argued that his membership of the Church of Scientology was leading to his persecution.
If convicted, he could face up to 45 years in prison.
Prosecutors did not file charges in two other cases due to insufficient evidence and the statute of limitations expiring.
In 2017, Netflix wrote Mr Masterson out of its comedy The Ranch after the accusations came to light.
Last year, four women filed a lawsuit against Masterson and the Church of Scientology, stating they were stalked, harassed and intimidated after reporting the alleged abuse.
The actor’s lawyer says that he is innocent and his family is in complete shock.
Masterson is married to Bijou Philips since 2011.
