The tangled and intricate web between disgraced "That ‘70s Show" actor Danny Masterson and the Church of Scientology became clearer in court on Tuesday, when an alleged rape victim of Masterson’s testified that not only had she reported the rape to the Church, but also had been told the expectation was "to give him sex whenever he wanted," per Variety.

The victim, a former Scientologist herself, says she was dating Masterson at the time of the assault. She shared in court that she awoke to Masterson raping her, to which she grabbed his hair, and he slapped and spit on her.

The victim, visibly uncomfortable on the stand, said in court that she "couldn't breathe" and was "trying to calm [her] panic" while recalling the incident that allegedly took place in November 2001.

Masterson is currently facing three separate rapes charges spanning between 2001 and 2003.

The woman shared that while she notified the Church of Masterson's actions, an ethics officer reportedly told her "no crime was committed." She also testified that the Church of Scientology did not believe a girlfriend could be raped by her own boyfriend.

"There was something I was doing or something I had done to deserve what he was doing to me…We are all responsible for the condition that we’re in — that is what we’re taught," she explained.

The woman told the court that she believed the Church "would destroy [her]" if she didn't keep her concerns to herself, and was put on an "ethics program" to understand what had happened to her. She was also instructed to read literature on "suppressive persons," which is what she would be deemed by the Church if she reported Masterson.

Why is there a cross in top of a Scientology building?

I see how Scientology could appeal to some now.

They give you a girlfriend and try to brain wash her to give you the sex when you feel like you want it.

Interesting but a shame that happened to this woman. Sounds like she was there for something whatever it may be and had regrets. Not saying she wasn’t raped but idk

The whole program of Scientology is built to gain and protect its wealth. And it works very well. Pretty genius.

Surprised to learn that there is a pretty big branch of that cult in Baton Rouge.

Which OT posters have the inside scoop on this?

Some people get a piece of flat bread and thinks it transforms into the flesh of their messiah, which they then consume and wash down with wine which they believe becomes his blood in their mouths. Really think about it.


All religions have their quirks.

I will never forgive Scientology for the loss of Taste of China. I have no idea if the two are connected, but they took the building, so I blame Scientology.

If you’re going to mock something, at least do it correctly. Because the symbolic act of Communion is obviously the same thing as Xenu and Thetans and Tom Cruise.

Example number 5,679 of why the frick are you reporting a crime to a body of people that isn’t the police.

Kids being molested by priests, we went to the church about it.

Actresses raped by producers, we went to the movie studio.

Students raped, we went to the athletic department.

How stupid can people be.

Scientology needs to have it's tax exempt status revoked. It's nothing but a large-scale grift.

It's all religious practices that are odd to outsiders.

Communion is an odd practice. We're just accustomed to it.

How are we to say their religion is any worse than the other? There are thousands of religions. Because everyone here believes in the big one that makes all others irrelevant?
