I have decided to delete this story for the moment until I can get more verification. The story is so shocking that I hesitated to post it to begin with. There was no pressure on me to remove the story, just a nagging sense that a story this shocking really needs to have some additional independent corroboration. Although another victim had reported a somewhat similar episode, I still need to be satisfied in my own mind that this story was not a bunch of false memory (or "dub in," to use the terminology of Scientology).

As critical as I am of Hubbard and what he created, I do not want to tarnish him, or anyone, unfairly. (Hubbard managed to tarnish himself quite handily.) I have a sketch of the room where the alleged incident occurred, and if I can verify the accuracy of it (or another element of the story), then I will re-post.

Thanks.

Oh, my Gawd.

What's the verdict? Will the story return?

It's a really shocking story but then again not too surprising.I think it could easily be true.It would fit the behaviour of the average cult founder/leader figure.In many of these cases the sex isn't even about the sex(thought that may be part of it),it's more about power..and we all know how desperately Hubbard craved that.And we have seen what people will put up with when under mind control.Very sad if it's true.
