ACTORS Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have apologised for supporting rapist Danny Masterson.<\/p>\n

The married pair wrote character references for their shamed co-star, who has been jailed for 30 years to life.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

In an online video Kutcher, 45, said they did not intend to undermine the victims\u2019 testimony or retraumatise them.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe would never want to do that and we\u2019re sorry if that\u2019s taken place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple appeared with Masterson, 47, in sitcom That \u201970s Show around the time of the attacks in 2003.<\/p>\n

Kutcher had told the rape trial judge in Los Angeles that he was a man who treated people \u201cwith decency, equality, and generosity\u201d.<\/p>\n
