Leah's explaination of auditing children was incomprehensible at first and made me sick. The manipulation of a child who is vulnerable, naive, and gone through recent trauma!? Taking advantage to spin the narrative that they brought assault upon themselves should cause an uproar beyond the #MeToo movement. These children are being trained, coached, and coerced. LAPD...sit on that...
Yes. It is truly tragic and should be illegal. It's on the scale and order of the pedophile priest scandal in the Catholic church and the sexual abuse rampant in the SBC church (Southern Baptist Conference) due to their religious beliefs and practices . Although I don't believe scientology is a legitimate religion, they certainly know how to use it for their protection as well as weaponize it. These kids aren't even protected by their own parents if they are in the Sea Org.
Interesting conversation. Glad you were able to do this. When talking about the info you and Leah know that was not allowed to be entered in this case, you mentioned the civil case will probably not even make it to trial because it has a greater chance of being settled. But I got to thinking, wouldn't it be something if the plaintiffs do not agree to settle? That would really put Scientology in the hot seat more than any other time. Time will tell. These women have already been through too much, but that civil trial will truly be a nail in Scientology's coffin.
Thanks, this podcast reminded me why I have such a large and long interest in Scientology, it is due to my interest in human behavior and the things that have an effect on it. I spent over 50 years working in hospitals, a prison and clinics in the mental health field.
Thank you for another excellent podcast. I really love to hear Leah speak, she's so very passionate & you'd definitely want her on your side in a fight 😁. We're all behind you 100%, supporting as best we can from afar.
Vital info, this podcast explains exactly the policemen's runaround answers, and none of the police clearcut saying enough info, Leah explains how the police answers total up being inadequate.
The Masterson criminal trial is a breakthrough and hopefully others will follow. There has to be a way through based on our legal system. We can’t give up.
Leah is a very brave woman, constantly sharing her stance on Scientology even through the so-called "church"'s treatment of her. I've really enjoyed this interview; thanks so much for sharing it.
As I listen to this, I have been googling some horrible websites obviously set up by Scientology attacking Leah and Mike Rinder. I hope you all continue to expose this horrible cult.
So glad to see Scientology's misdeeds brought to light through the phenomenal work of Leah, Tony, Mike, Aaron and Andrew OTE. Thank you! Perhaps enough pressure will mount forcing much needed change. Any organization/religion that fills its coffers thru the blood of its members and harrassment of former members or anyone standing against them --"fair game" be damned!

Great episode. Thanks to the both of you for the work you're doing to keep us informed. Leah you are a great advocate for these ladies, thank you.
Absolutely great episode.
Leah was an amazing guest, thank you!
Leah in the house!

Exactly! I truly can't believe they can continue to get away with this.

".....100s of incidents of physical abuse....." - Leah.
Grounds to investigate Miscavige, minimally.
100s of incidents of "misdemeanor battery" by Miscavige for sure adds up to felony level, I'd think.
--------------------------------
Maybe there ought to be some "cult" felony new laws, laying out criminal misdemeanor battery by a cult leader.

Excellent breakdown.
I would 100% lay down on train tracks for Leah. 😂 Kindred fucking spirit.
