The women blamed the church for their hesitancy in going to police about Masterson. They testified that when they reported him to Scientology officials,


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.

Uh, people disclose things like that to clergy and the like all of the time before going to the police.

You’re greatly underestimating the cult-like influence on its members in Scientology.

One of them went to police in 2004 and nothing was looked into.

Everything that I've read about him is that he's an absolute garbage human.

Do you know this? And why does that absolve him on any portion of guilt?

lol @ that

So you give him a pass because he was a "good guy" for 20 years after raping someone?

I don't really agree, but I do think it's messy.

If you claim you were raped in 2004, take a 400k payout, and then wait 15+ years to pursue a criminal claim - I'm not sure how we should handle that.

I think he likely did rape her, and her being victimized by Scientology is very likely true too, but ultimately her being in a cult and taking a payoff prejudiced the system's ability to conclusively determine the truth for well over a decade.
