The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because they said church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church.

Cults are bad, people. Religion is bad because it's a normalized / accepted cult. Eff this guy.

I noticed that Topher Grace didn't get mentioned for writing a letter to the judge. I've never thought he's a great actor (he was pretty good in Traffic), but I like him a bit more now.

People can have multiple personalities, not as in a mental condition, but as in that you're a different person at work than who you are at your parent's. Rapist are also like that. Rapists aten't rapists 24/7. Sometimes they can be just nice people. That doesn't make it right, but that does make that you can't judge someone for not knowing that a coworker or even a friend was a rapist all this time.
