Danny Masterson is a name that many recognize, and if not he's an infamous face from his years on the timeless series “That 70’s Show”; but now he's being remembered as something far viler: a serial-rapist.
In total, five women have now come forward against the actor, including actresses and more; who all have said he is a vile and disgusting pervert that's guilty of rape and sexual assault.
The most recent actress to come forward is icing on the cake and somewhat vindication for the first four to make the claim against the high profile actor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I stayed quiet long enough. Danny Masterson repeatedly raped me. All I seek is justice and to prevent this from ever happening to anyone else as it has for some time. My truth will be heard.

As Masterson’s ex-girlfriend, Bobette Riales, states that she is also a victim, according to<a href="http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/fifth-woman-accuses-danny-masterson-of-rape.html"> Vulture</a>.
The Los Angeles Police Department has investigated the claims but recently stated that their ongoing examination has against Masterson “inexplicably stalled,” with some theorizing that the Church Of Scientology, of which he is a member, has been covering for him through their elitist connections.
Three of Masterson's accusers were Scientologists at the time of her alleged assault, and at least one was declared a Suppressive Person after filing a police report against the actor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bobette is a huge threat to the church and the rapist. They have to discredit her. They are all spewing the same narrative. Little do they know she filed a police report long ago. She only came forward publicly because she didn’t want me to stand alone.</p>— chrissie carnell-bixler (@ChrissieBixler) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrissieBixler/status/944055832584638464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 22, 2017</a></blockquote>

The Church responded by having multiple members file reports declaring her a liar while Masterson's own publicist disputed the woman's claims.
“The Church of Scientology has no practice or policy forbidding the reporting of criminal wrongdoing allegedly committed by Scientologists or anyone else, nor does the Church expel, let alone punish, members to report crimes,” said a spokesperson in a statement.
The first woman who has come forward reportedly dated the actor for six years. She claims the actor anally raped and injured her when she was unconscious in December of 2001.
“They threatened me that if I ever told anyone or reported him to the police that I would be declared a ‘suppressive person’ and lose everything and everyone,” she wrote to LAPD chief Charlie Beck. “Then they put me on a massive ethics program as punishment. My rapist was not punished at all. They didn’t even call him to talk about it. I ended up breaking up with him two months later.”
Besides the threats, she also claims the LAPD is being manipulated by the Church of Scientology to not pursue charges.
She said, “I was told that my report was transferred out of the Wilcox location into downtown due to known leaks within the Hollywood division when I received a phone call from Detective Reyes later that day. She warned me that I am not to speak to any other officer or anyone claiming to be an officer.”
This occurred after she wrote a letter to the LAPD Captain William Hayes, and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, about her frustration with their organization and the way that they’re handling the case.
Leah Remini, an outspoken critic of the Church of Scientology also believes that the Church of Scientology has compromised the Los Angeles Police Department.
“I met with the LAPD. I met with Detective Reyes, and I told her these victims deserve to be heard. I pointed out to her that there was a framed picture of a Scientologist on their wall, actor Michael Peña. Do you know what that says to a young Scientologist who comes here to seek justice? My experience with the LAPD has not been good. I asked her to do the right thing by these girls, and I told her that the world is watching,” Remini said.
Netflix earlier this month terminated their contracts with Danny Masterson as a result of the multiple claims made by women who claimed to be victims of Masterson.
“As a result of ongoing discussions, Netflix and the producers have written Danny Masterson out of ‘The Ranch,'” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday. “Yesterday was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him.”
Masterson issued a response soon after.
“I am obviously very disappointed in Netflix’s decision to write my character off of ‘The Ranch.’ From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me,” Masterson said in a statement. “Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them to be without merit. I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one. In this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in the current climate, it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused. I understand and look forward to clearing my name once and for all. In the meantime, I want to express my gratitude to the cast and crew that I’ve worked so closely with over the past three seasons. I wish them nothing but success. I am also so thankful to the fans that have supported me and continue to do so.”
It appears as if the Church of Scientology is actively engaged in defending and protecting their membership and allegations suggest that they are manipulating the LAPD to ensure no charges are brought against their membership.
This could potentially be the downfall of this organization if exposed.
I ask that any victims of the Church of Scientology’s silencing campaign to contact me using the information below.

I call bullshit on Xe's filing charges like this. It's too easy a way to settle a score by a spurned woman. Every man has at least one unspeakable bitch in their past. Maybe I'm wrong. Probably I'm wrong about Hollywood scum but this has to make every man nervous.
