Jen B., who sought the church’s permission to report the rape, later received a written response from the church’s international chief justice that cited a 1965 policy letter, which for her raised concerns she could be ousted from her family and friends if she reported a fellow Scientologist to the police.
Imagine demanding that someone give up that much control over their own life and autonomy.

Still, she reported the rape in 2004.

Reporting a rape and seeing it through court is especially hard at the best of times - in a high profile case, while battling against the will of.your Church adds whole new levels of difficulty to it.
