Masterson belongs to the Church of Scientology, whose various procedures became a central topic in the criminal investigation. Masterson and his victims have been Scientologists.
International spokesman for the church organization Karin Pouw however, previously denied that the church was involved in the matter in any way.
– The church is not related to this processing in any way. Here, they are now shamefully trying to shift their gaze to Masterson’s religion, commented Pouw.
