RAPIST MASTERSON IS SCIENTOLOGY SCOURGE!

Now civil sex trial turns up heat on scandalous church

- 

CONVICTED rapist Danny Masterson and the Church of Scientology are facing an uphill battle in a big-bucks lawsuit brought by women who fell prey to his twisted sexual appetites, predict experts.

The long-anticipated civil lawsuit is set to restart in a matter of weeks now that the disgraced That ’70s Show star’s criminal case ended with the actor found guilty of two charges of rape after a shocking trial where Scientology’s practices were repeatedly attacked by prosecutors.

Now the church — and Masterson — are back on their heels after being accused of ordering his accusers, who once belonged to Scientology, of covering up his behavior by repeatedly urging them not to contact police.
