Church of Scientology Statement
The Church was not a party to this case.
Nevertheless, the District Attorney unconscionably centered his prosecution on religion and fabrications about the Church hoping to prejudice the jury and inflame bigotry. The DA had an anti-Scientology agenda orchestrated, scripted and pushed by Leah Remini.
The DA elicited answers from the Jane Does concerning allegations about the Church that were totally FALSE.
Even more egregious is the DA’s blatant misrepresentations and misinterpretations of our doctrines and beliefs. Quite simply, the DA’s descriptions of Scientology beliefs and practices were, uniformly, DEAD WRONG.
The Church has no policy prohibiting or discouraging members from reporting criminal conduct of Scientologists, or of anyone, to law enforcement. Quite the opposite. Church policy explicitly demands Scientologists abide by all laws of the land.
There is zero truth to any of the testimony that the Church has harassed or stalked the Jane Does. Investigation of the allegations has over and over shown them to be baseless. But the Jane Does, urged on by Leah Remini, all filed a civil suit against the Church in an attempted shakedown for cash. So it is no surprise they repeated their false accusations against the Church—without any evidence whatsoever, since there is none.
Remini’s only interest is in continuing her profitmaking campaign of hate and propaganda. She seeks vengeance for her expulsion from the Church and her primary source of income since that expulsion has been the cash sale of that propaganda and hate.
Remember, Leah Remini was/is a vociferous supporter of now-convicted rapist, Paul Haggis. She appeared as the star witness in his trial and gave false testimony in support of rapist Paul Haggis—going so far as to call Haggis the real “victim.” That was the first time Leah Remini’s fabrications, and Remini herself, were put to the test: The jury’s rejection of Remini’s testimony is evidenced by the $10 million awarded against Haggis.
While Remini may not have appeared to testify in this latest trial (possibly because of the outcome when she appeared for Haggis), make no mistake, her fingerprints were all over the case and we have the evidence demonstrating that she is the one who scripted the DA’s attack on the Church.
And, once again, a jury has rejected the fabricated, anti-Scientology propaganda and bigotry.
