[Valeska and The Atrium in Clearwater]
As we reported this morning, a huge amount of information suddenly became public yesterday in the labor-trafficking lawsuit filed against Scientology in Tampa federal court.
The plaintiffs, former Sea Org employees and Australia residents Valeska Paris and Gawain and Laura Baxter, sued in 2022 over allegations that they had been trafficked as virtual slaves aboard Scientology’s cruise ship the Freewinds as children and adults. But federal Judge Thomas Barber said his hands were tied by US Supreme Court precedent and he had no choice but to force the case into Scientology’s “religious arbitration.”
Valeska and the Baxters went through 15 days of arbitration in Clearwater that began on January 19 before walking out. They are now asking Judge Barber to consider a motion to reconsider, complaining that Scientology has harassed and intimidated them during its sham of an arbitration.
This morning we reviewed the basic points of that motion. Now here is Valeska’s full declaration that was attached to the motion which gives a lot of detail about what went on during those 15 days in Clearwater.
