Scientology Head Allegedly Assaults Church Staffer

I've been watching this campaign by Anonymous to out the Church of Scientology's secrets with much interest because all sorts of information that's been bottled up for years is suddenly becoming public. Now, a man who was formerly the head of video production for the CoS alleges that he was punched in the face by David Miscavige, the head of the Church.

"In late 2004 I was walking through the main factory facility with David Miscavige and I had made a smart-alec comment in response to one of his questions, apparently he’d not had a good day already and my comment was not well received and he proceeded to unload on me.

"He punched me in the face at least ten times and my glasses fell off, I was thrown up against a desk unit, a counter top, and that was the moment right then when I realized I could go no further down than this, to be beaten by the leader of my so-called church. What else could I do that could get me in a lower status than that? And I decided that I would strike back. As soon as he saw that in my eyes, I was grabbed and escorted out of the building and made to take a walk for about an hour or so. He sent several people off to console me, that he really shouldn’t have done that and he was really sorry. While I was being escorted out of the room I heard him say to his staffers, 'He was going to hit me back.'"

If true, that's really interesting behavior on the part of the head of a church which claims it has the answer to the world's emotional problems. Maybe Miscavige could use an audit. Or a benzo.
