Efforts to serve the 62-year-old Scientology leader David Miscavige with a lawsuit that has named him as a defendant in a child trafficking case have been unsuccessful, as he is not in sight, as per the court records and the Tampa Bay Times.
Attempts Have Been Made To Hold Scientology Leader David Miscavige Accountable For Trafficking
Court records indicate that many attempts have been made to deliver legal documents to Miscavige in both Clearwater, Florida and Los Angeles, but they have been unsuccessful in all 27 attempts over the past few months.
The court document said the following: “There is more than enough evidence to demonstrate that [Miscavige] has intentionally concealed his location and erected obstacles to evade personal services of process.”
Ex-members of the Scientology congregation, a married couple Gawain Baxter and Laura Baxter, and Valeska Paris submitted a lawsuit alleging that they were coerced into working on Scientology vessels as minors after signing a one billion-year agreement in return for little to no remuneration.
Paris is said to have abandoned the church in 2009, while Gawain and Laura Baxter left in 2012. Besides the charges of human trafficking, Paris states that she was a victim of multiple sexual assaults during her childhood and that when her mother exited the religion of Scientology, the 17-year-old was held against her will in an engine room for two days as a form of discipline.
As per the lawsuit, Gawain Baxter pointed out that his parents had placed him in a Sea Org nursery when he was only two months old. When he turned six, he was compelled to sign a one billion-year contract and shifted to a Cadet Org dormitory with a hundred other kids.
The fans on social media were outraged by this revelation. Large numbers of people slammed Miscavage and demanded that he be held accountable. One person wrote: “I wonder if their ship is in port, or if Miscavge is on it out in international waters by now. Tiny coward.”
