Bijou Phillips was “shocked and devastated” by husband Danny Masterson’s conviction last Wednesday on two counts of rape, a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE. The couple has been married since 2011.
“She wasn’t prepared for the verdict,” the source says. “She never expected him to be found guilty. She couldn’t believe that he was taken into custody right away and remanded. [She] is terrified about the sentencing. No matter what happens though, Bijou supports him. She has no plans to leave him.”
Masterson was handcuffed and immediately sent to jail following his conviction. The Los Angeles Times reported that Masterson’s family members were "fighting back tears" after his convictions were read and that Phillips also began to cry.
At one point, Judge Charlaine Olmedo asked Phillips to maintain her composure as she began to sob. "Can you maintain your composure?” the judge reportedly said. “I know it's hard. But if not I need you to step outside."
Masterson will be remanded until his next hearing August 4th, and he faces 30 years to life in prison.
