Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Step Down From Posts With Group He Helped Found That Fights Child Sex Abuse

deadline.com:

Ashton Kutcher has stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Thorn, a group that fights child sex abuse that he co-founded over a decade ago with then-wife Demi Moore.

His letter of resignation reads in part, “Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences.” Kutcher goes on to explain his reasoning as follows: “I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.” The error in judgment to which he refers is a letter to a judge Kutcher wrote in support of now-convicted rapist and his former That ’70s Show co-star Danny Masterson.

Masterson was recently sentenced to 30 years for his crimes. RELATED: Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Apologize For Danny Masterson Support Letters In Rape Trial: “We Support Victims” Kutcher’s wife Mila Kunis, also a ’70s Show alum, wrote her own such letter for Masterson.

Time magazine reported that she, too, has resigned her role as an observer to the board. The duo had previously apologized for writing the letters of support.
