[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 77627743, member: 294566"] [HEADING=2][URL='https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-04/church-of-scientology-danny-masterson-prosecutor-harassment-allegations']Scientology tried to ‘derail’ star’s rape trial by harassing prosecutor, suit says; church calls claim ‘false’[/URL][/HEADING] lawyers for [Masterson's] 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.” The December 2023 declaration didn’t name the prosecutor or offer any additional detail, and Leen declined to comment. In a speech last fall, L.A. County Deputy Dist. Atty. Reinhold Mueller delivered remarks that contained allegations nearly identical to those from the lawsuit, according to a video reviewed by The Times. Mueller said he was “run off the road” and that his home was vandalized, according to the video. He also said that cellular and internet service had been inexplicably knocked out at his residence. LAPD detectives who investigated the actor also said they “had been surveilled, watched” or experienced “some type of harassment” which “they attributed to agents or individuals from the Church of Scientology,” according to former LAPD Chief Michel Moore. [Neither the DA nor police are making a case of it, but it's shown up in this private lawsuit.] [/QUOTE]
