TWO MORE WOMEN COME FORWARD TO LAPD WITH DANNY MASTERSON RAPE ALLEGATIONS

[Danny Masterson in 2003]

The Underground Bunker has learned that two additional women have identified themselves as rape victims of Scientologist celebrity Danny Masterson and have spoken to the Los Angeles Police Department as part of its ongoing investigation of the That ’70s Show actor, bringing to six the number of women who are cooperating with the three-year police probe.

The LAPD initially forwarded a case for prosecution to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office in April 2017, but D.A. Jackie Lacey has not announced whether she plans to charge Masterson with a crime. The actor has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence, and when four of the women filed a civil lawsuit against him this summer, he responded by calling the suit “beyond ridiculous” and vowed that he would “beat her in court.”

With that use of “her,” Masterson was referring to Chrissie Carnell Bixler, one of his accusers whom he dated for several years, and who alleges that he raped her anally in 2001 and then laughed about it as he told her what he had done as she came to consciousness. Carnell Bixler has said that she didn’t previously come forward to law enforcement about the incident because she had no idea that there were other victims. But in 2016, when she learned from two other women that they too were victimized, the three of them decided that October to approach the LAPD.

All three of them had been Scientologists, and one of them, whom we refer to as Victim B, was put through $15,000 of counseling by the church that was intended to keep her from reporting her 2003 incident to the LAPD. But in 2004, Victim B did report her rape to police, who closed the case after Scientology inundated the investigation with affidavits calling Victim B a liar. In 2016 when the LAPD reopened her case, they found that the reports from her file had inexplicably disappeared.

In 2017, a fourth victim came forward, former model Bobette Riales. She had never been a Scientologist.

And now, three years after the LAPD began its new investigation, two additional women have come forward to the police, and neither of them were Scientologists.

Masterson and his attorneys have attempted to characterize the investigation as a plot engineered by critics of the Church of Scientology, but now the number of women accusing him are split evenly between those with and without involvement in the church.

Meanwhile, all six women have similar stories that share details like losing consciousness, violent rape, and with facilitation from Masterson’s friends and employees.

We’ve known for two years that prosecutors in the DA’s office are anxious to charge Masterson. In February 2018 we reported that the managers in the office had signed off on charging the actor under California’s “one-strike law” for sexual crimes which carries a penalty of life in prison. But more than a year later, DA Lacey has not acted.

An insider familiar with Lacey’s record suggested to us that the delay might mean that the district attorney was waiting to see if any additional victims showed up to strengthen the case.

Well, now two of them have.

Leaked document of the day

From the Mace-Kingsley Ranch documents release comes this item.

Scientology couldn’t operate without the snitching its members do on each other, forwarded to the church in “Knowledge Reports” or KRs. And especially at the MK ranch, where misfit Scientology kids were being taught that the only way to get ahead was to turn in the other kid before they handed you over.

What an organization.

Re: Tigra, Carmel, Me, Kari, Pascal, Ryan and Christina, Crystal, Jason

Yesterday afternoon Tigra and Carmel were telling Ryan and Christina to kiss. They did. Then they told Kari and Pascal to kiss. The whole time me, Tigra and Carmel were just sitting laughing. Me, Tigra, Pascal, Kari, Ryan and Christina smoked. The cigarette came from Kari, but Carmel did not smoke. Crystal and Jason also knew of this.

“Sex — it’s interesting, but aberrative value of sex compared to the aberrative value of eight is zero. Of course, what happens to somebody like Freud that concentrates on sex, is he really doesn’t have guts enough to just kick completely outside all agreements with his civilization. And for somebody in 1894 to have suddenly said, ‘God — well, I tell you about God, he’s a trick!’ They probably would have lynched him. They’ll probably lynch me yet, but anyway … For somebody to have kicked outside the confines of the church at that time would have been too adventurous to contemplate. It almost is now.” — L. Ron Hubbard, December 2, 1953

Overheard in the FreeZone

“Now there also exists bad angels/aliens outside this dimension. Beings and some people here on Earth are in telepathic/mind communication with them. Certainly Jews are more likely to have this special communication or spirit guide guidance you could say. Of course not all of them have it, it’s just that they are more likely to have this ability in their DNA which enables this special connection, hence the huge amount of super evil people here on Earth who have Jewish DNA/family backgrounds…In reference to Scientology, implants seem to be able to affect DNA according to OT8 Student briefing, so people could be getting abducted, which changes their DNA which then can be passed onto their children. So basically we could be dealing with bad aliens implanting people so that they have telepathic communication with them forever.”

“I’m an old punk who never had much time for hippies, but in retrospect I gotta admit they accomplished more than we punks did. We just had better fashion and got the music back to where it should be. I don’t know, but it always seems that after a certain point in any movement that the soldiers outlive their usefulness and the diplomats always take over.”
