Ex-Scientology member sues the church and its leader, alleging retaliation, child abuse, human trafficking and forced labor against her and other ex-members.
According to the suit, Jane Doe joined the Sea Organization, described as an association of the church's"most dedicated members," who sign 1 billion-year contracts with the quasi-naval group. The lawsuit says she moved to the church's Gold Base in San Jacinto, California, southeast of San Bernardino.
Banished to Los Angeles to work on church publicity, the woman escaped in late 2016 in the trunk of a car driven by a non-Scientologist actor with whom she was assigned to produce promotional videos, according to the complaint.
