A lawsuit filed this week against the Church of Scientology International (CSI) and its leader, David Miscavige, detailed multiple allegations of abuses from human trafficking to child abuse, as a legal expert told The Epoch Times about the parallels between the new complaint and that of the NXIVM case.
A defector from CSI—a woman referred to only as Jane Doe—accused the organization of a lifelong pattern of harassment and abuse from when she was born into the church in 1979 to Scientologist parents. She claimed the CSI went after her when she escaped and began producing and starring in a documentary series titled “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath."
