A lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles County by a Jane Doe accuses the Church of Scientology, its leader David Miscavige, and his top lieutenant Gavin Potter of covering up systemic sexual assault, sexual battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fraud.
“It is common knowledge to members of Scientology that older members engage in illicit sexual activities with minors. The practice is both endorsed and facilitated by the Scientology doctrine. The RPF punitive system routinely separates spouses from one another, sometimes for years. Recruits to Sea Org or CMO are expected to be free of any prior crimes, sexual interactions, or other tarnishing acts, making minors the most available and suitable candidates for recruitment. The prospect of being pressed into Sea Org was so repugnant that, upon information and belief, some minors would take certain illicit substances (or claim to have taken them) to make themselves ineligible. Finally, members of Scientology are prohibited from engaging in any contact, sexual or otherwise, with non-Scientologists,” reads part of the complaint against the evil celebrity space cult.
