The case was closely watched not only because it involved a Hollywood star on trial in the #MeToo era but also because two of the women had accused the Church of Scientology, to which they also belonged, of discouraging them from reporting the rapes to the authorities. The church denied that it pressured the victims.

It feels like this may be the larger story. I wonder if it'll embolden other Scientologists to come forward.

They also allegedly killed the dogs of one of the victims in an attempt to silence her.

Just when you think there are no depths they won't go to...

Tbh I dont know why anyone would think there are no depths scientologists would go to. Its a sham religion entirely made to drain resources from its members into the pockets of the hierarchy of the "church". Its basically a criminal enterprise and should be treated as one
