“You’re fucked. You have no idea how fucked you are,' an ethics officer for the 'church' reportedly told one of his victims.
when asked to recall her apprehension in coming forward about the alleged abuse. She previously said that she alerted an ethics officer at the Church of Scientology, where she was also a member, during their relationship, but was told that because she and Masterson were a couple, what happened to her was not rape., Jane Doe #1, who knew Masterson casually, told the court that she remembered waking up in his bed to him penetrating her.
. “Nothing ever happens to you that you didn’t cause. No matter what condition you find yourself in life, no matter how horrible, you are responsible.” She then described another incident, in which she again woke up to Masterson penetrating her in his bed after he’d given her something to drink during a party at his home. As she struggled to get away, she claims Masterson took a gun from the nearby nightstand, held it up, and told her to “shut the fuck up.
After the second assault, Doe #1 approached her ethics officer, Julian Swartz, once more. She told the court that she was aware that it was against Scientology policy to report a member to the police, and she risked being declared a “suppressive person.”“My understanding is I would immediately be guilty of a high crime. A high crime comes with a penalty of expulsion from Scientology,” she. “My life would be over. My parents would have to disconnect from me.
Despite retribution—and discouragement from other church officials—Doe #1 filed a police report against Masterson for rape. Not long after, Swartz, the ethics officer who had been contacted by the LAPD, called her. When she explained what measures she’d decided to take against Masterson, he allegedly replied, “You’re fucked. You have no idea how fucked you are.”
