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.”

      She is a minor cult leader with a tiny following who targets idiots with not a lot of money to begin with and convinces them to not pay their hydro and phone bills so they can give it to her instead. She is literally just a Canadian SovCit with delusions of grandeur. She’s no where near the level of Scientology or LDS.

        So for us quaint Canadians she’s pretty scandalous. I’m surprised we haven’t blockaded the place with zambonies by now, or something with moose.
