Tom Cruise's BFF Sued for Human Trafficking

On November 25, 2009, David Miscavige, Tom Cruise's best man and present leader of the Church of Scientology, has been sued and a summons has been issued notifying him of the complaint involving human trafficking, violations of labor laws and unfair business practices.

Also sued are defendants Church of Scientology International, Religious Technology Center and does 1-20.

The suit has been brought on behalf of John Lindstein by attorneys Barry Van Sickle and Graham Berry. Lindstein started working for organized Scientology at 8 years old and was working 15 hour days at manual labor by the age of 10. At the age of 12 John was taken from school and hired by Golden Era Productions.

The complaint covers that David Miscavige controls the entire Scientology enterprise and is the chief perpetrator of the torts and violations of law including the crime of human trafficking. It also points out how the entire Scientology enterprise is essentially a sham designed to hide and obscure the absolute and unchecked control by David Miscavige who is personally responsible for the violations of law listed.
