Largely testimony. The lack of rape kits and the like are due to this:

quote:

The women blamed the church for their hesitancy in going to police about Masterson. They testified that when they reported him to Scientology officials, they were told they were not raped, were put through ethics programs themselves, and were warned against going to law enforcement to report a member of such high standing.

was there evidence of this? because this sounds like just more he said / she said. believe me, i am no fan of the CoS, but i am even less a fan of putting a person behind bars for thirty years without some pretty fricking ironclad evidence, and i dont see it here.

i know when i get raped, i like to report it to my church first, not the police, or friends, or family.


even if we just assume he was guilty of this, he's lived for 20 years being a normal and good citizen that hasn't gotten in trouble with the law. Yet he's going to go to prison for a he said she said 20 years after the fact for rape, for probably twice as long as the average murderer goes to prison for. I"m not saying he shouldn't go to jail, but 30 years is just ridiculous. 3 would have been more than enough given his history of being a good person for the last 20 years.

Found the problem.

Has this cover up been going on this whole time? I haven't kept up with this story.

I hope they go after the “church” too. They equally deserve 30 years to life in prison.
