We're on the scene this morning in Los Angeles, bringing you coverage at Los Angeles Superior Court as Danny Masterson faces a preliminary hearing on charges that he raped three different women.

A "prelim" is an important step that asks a prosecutor to convince a judge that enough evidence exists to justify scheduling a criminal trial later in the year, at which Masterson would be facing 45 years to life in prison if he's convicted.
