Earlier this summer, actor Danny Masterson, best known for his role in That ’70s Show, was charged with three counts of rape. His criminal trial in that matter is ongoing and he is set to be arraigned next week.
But there were also civil lawsuits filed against him in 2019, alleging that the Church of Scientology, to which Masterson belongs, “stalked and intimidated” his victims after they made those rape allegations to the police.
And now a judge has ruled that the Church of Scientology will be allowed to handle mediation of those claims.
It is pretty ridiculous to hand over mediation to any church. Scientology has too much money in California. Much like the Catholic church having early control over the sex claims against them.
