Twenty-four years ago I was sexually assaulted. I was about 22 years old. At the time I worked for the Church of Scientology and was told not to report the assault, or seek medical attention for injuries I sustained. The church didn’t want negative attention or authorities being called to their Los Angeles complex, which is where I was at the time.

I was convinced by individuals within Scientology that I must have done something to provoke what happened to me, therefore I was solely responsible for what happened. It took me almost another 20 years and leaving Scientology to realize what happened to me was not only not my fault in any way, shape or form, but it was a heinous crime that should have been reported.

Sexual assaults (on minors especially) were a Hallmark of L. Frauds "church" from the 60's forward.

Only the terminally deluded stick with his cult/religion now.
