Masterson denied the allegations and claimed that he was being persecuted because of his faith. He was fired from The Ranch and dropped by his talent agency amid the scandal.

In September 2023, he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison by Judge Charlaine Olmedo, who said that he was “not the victim here”. Masterson showed no emotion as he heard his fate, while his wife Bijou Phillips, who had stood by him throughout the ordeal, quickly put on sunglasses and left the courtroom without a word.
