Grab the popcorn and watch the Church of Scientology implode. I would imagine now that the floodgates have been breached that a wave of lawsuits against the ‘church’ will follow. Unless Masterson changes his plea or meets an untimely end.
I’ll give this a little bump.
I don’t think the “church” gives a damn about what happens to Masterson. It’s not like he’s Tom Cruise. I think they would literally throw him under a bus if they thought for a minute it would stop the cover up allegations.
I think a lot of this will come down to how well the DA/police can keep the witnesses safe from the intimidation that seems to be SOP for scientology. I wouldn’t be surprised if the victims asked for witness protection. Cults have long memories.
For that to happen we would need to know which members of the DA/Police are Scientologists, and that just isn’t possible. Safety in this case just isn’t possible.
How true. Witness Protection is federal though, I think. Hopefully they have a little better screening process than the locals.
Coming out with charges against scientology is a big deal and you have to admire the resolve of these women. Scientology seems to have a outsize influence, especially in California.
If Scientology is a religion, even the Feds would have a hard time screening out their members for a particular case without accusations of discrimination.
Good! Throw him in one of those volcanos the aliens are in or whatever fool thing they believe.
Reporting is that he was sentenced to 30 years.
He couldn’t hide from justice.

He’s 47 so 30+ years puts him in his 70’s or 80’s. I wonder if his wife will wait for him and will his daughter bring her kids to visit him in prison.
So he’ll be available for the cast of “That 2050s Show”?
I figure his chances of showing up in future episodes in the franchise are equal to Tanya Roberts’.
They were probably figuring on replacing her character with Lisa Robin Kelly for any reboots.
More likely that, as long as he behaves himself, he’ll be out before he’s 60. Sad, but true.
Still, wasting the time between your mid-40’s and early 60’s is nothing to scoff at.
Hangin’ out, in the clink
The same old thing, same old stink.
Not a thing to do
but sit and stew.
I’m not all right! I’m not all right! Hello prison!

Dealers choice.
I guffawed at this. Well done!
