Oh, my goodness! Not again...
A man was arrested today accused of having sex with a teenager at the Church of Scientology in Downtown Cincinnati.
Twenty-one-year-old Ben Kasle is charged with two counts of gross sexual imposition.
Investigators say he had sex with the girl who is now 14-years-old.
Police records indicate the alleged offenses happened at the church on Fourth Street between October 2007 and September 2008.
An attorney representing the church says the church is aware of the investigation and is cooperating with police, however, the church has no comment since the investigation is ongoing.
He is due in court on May 6th.
Happened at the church, it says. I guess with all those closed auditing rooms they have for private one-on-one counselling, it might be easier to hide than in a regular (read: real) church. It's not the first time something like this has happened, either; read the comments on the article.
I guess that's just what happens when the founder, L. Ron Hubbard, himself, said:
In short a staff member can get away with murder so long as his statistic is up and can't sneeze without a chop if it's down. ... When people do start reporting a staff member with a high statistic, what you investigate is the person who turned in the report.
