A Church of Scientology attorney sent a letter to A&E lawyers to remove a teaser for its series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, charging that Amy Scobee, the subject of the first episode, lied about being raped and “acted as the sexual aggressor,” the Underground Bunker reports.

Scobee was just 14 years-old when a 35-year-old Scientology supervisor allegedly raped her and fellow staff members kept mum. In his letter to A&E, Church attorney Gary S. Soter charged that Scobee was 16 during the incident, and therefor within the age of consent. But Scobee insists the Church lawyer is lying.

In addition to insisting Scobee lied about her age during the incident, Soter also argued she was the aggressor. “According to his contemporaneous report, she acted as the sexual aggressor, rubbing up against him and reaching into his pants,” Sotor wrote in his letter.

2. I watched the show last night

They didn't pull any punches. Startling first person accounts from higher ups.

The Naval theme was new to me too.
