Previous depositions in the Rathbun case described Scientology’s “forced labor camp” and imprisonment at the notorious ”Hole,” another site where former Scientologists have claimed they were subjected to “physical and psychological abuse.”
At the time those claims were made, the Church of Scientology told Radar, “These discredited allegations are nothing more than the same tired propaganda spread for nearly five years by the same tiny clique of anti-Scientologists.
“These people remain obsessively bitter at having been expelled from their positions in the Church nearly a decade ago for malfeasance and incompetence.
“Shopped to virtually every media outlet since 2009, these ever-morphing myths—including one lifted from a best-selling autobiography entirely unrelated to the Church—are being spread yet again by the clique’s propagandists who have shown they will lie to whatever extent it takes to get media attention for this frivolous, get-rich scheme now being hatched in a Texas courtroom.
“Orchestrated by a handful of bitter ex-Scientologists and unemployed bloggers with axes to grind, these made-up tales have been discredited by countless Church officials in sworn statements made under penalty of perjury.”
These new allegations from McShane, however, represent the statements of a current member in good standing.
