SCIENTOLOGY SHAMED!

Newly unsealed court papers bare child sex charges & cover-up claims

CUNNING big shots in the Church of Scientology cruelly bullied a minor into marrying her adult abuser in the '90s and covered up the twisted sicko's repeated rapes by forbidding the traumatized girl from going to police, according to an explosive civil suit.

Now, sources confide the controversial religion's A-list members like actors Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Juliette Lewis, Elisabeth Moss, Jenna Elfman and TV journalist Greta Van Susteren are diving for cover as they fear being tarnished by their association with the church amid the disturbing child sex scandal!

Now in her 40s, the accuser - only identified in newly unsealed court documents as Jane Doe alleges high-ranking church recruiter Gavin Potter first preyed on her when she was 16!

But the gal says when she reported the vile abuse to church elders, she was given the choice of five years' hard labor in a Scientology gulag or eloping with the official in Las Vegas while still a teenager!

A Hollywood insider says a judge's decision to unseal the explosive documents immediately after the double rape conviction of the religion's former golden boy Danny Masterson is the church's "worst nightmare!" The insider adds, "There are fears it could really spell the end of Scientology as we know it! If you're Travolta, Cruise or another star, you have to be very concerned the scandal will impact reputations and box office ticket sales.

"So far, Tom and John managed to escape relatively unscathed - but at some point, their association could bite them as well as other celebrity Scientologists."
