Scientology tried to 'derail' star's rape trial by harassing prosecutor, suit says; church calls claim 'false' - eviltoast

Nearly six months after actor Danny Masterson was convicted of sexually assaulting two fellow members of the Church of Scientology, lawyers for his victims filed a document that contained a stunning new allegation against the faith.

Submitted in a downtown Los Angeles court as part of a years-old civil lawsuit against Scientology, the document referenced a purported effort by the church to “derail” the criminal proceedings against Masterson.

“Defendants and their agents engaged in a campaign of harassment and intimidation directed at one of the prosecutors assigned to Defendant Masterson’s trial,” the declaration from civil attorney Simon Leen read. “That prosecutor’s home and car windows were broken, the prosecutor’s home electronics were tampered with, and Defendants’ agents surveilled the prosecutor.”

    IDK but it gets really creepy if you look at how much of Clearwater, FL they own. Their main building down there is right by city hall and the police dept, so it makes you wonder if they own those too.

    I also wonder if they go around fuckin’ with people in FL who they see as their enemies. Because it could be legal to shoot them if they were attacking you or threatening to do so.
