Scientology leader David Miscavige, 62, is 'nowhere to be found' as prosecutors attempt to serve him with a federal child trafficking lawsuit filed by three former church members.
husband and wife, Gawain and Laura Baxter and Valeska Paris filed the lawsuit after claiming they were forced into labor on Scientology boats as children after signing a one billion-year contract in exchange for little or no money.In addition to the trafficking allegations, Paris alleges she was the victim of repeated sexual assaults in her youth and that when her mother left Scientology, the then-17-year-old was locked in an engine room for 48 hours as punishment.
Children over six years old are considered to be, and are frequently told that they are, adults and that they should act and expect to be treated as adults. The lawsuit said the children must be referred to as"cadets" and not kids.Miscavige's last known address is the church's international building in L.A., but similar to other members of Scientology's extremist wing, the Sea Org, he does not have a recorded address.
During a motion earlier this month, one of the plaintiff's attorneys, Neil Glazer, said,"Miscavige cannot be permitted to continue his gamesmanship," the Tampa Bay Times reported. He is due in court on Jan. 20, but that meeting is pending unless he is served with the papers. The Tampa Bay Times report stated lawyers have tried to locate him through two traffic tickets he received in the 1990s, but both of those citations list the Scientology Los Angeles center as his home.
