“From day one, I have denied the outrageous allegations against me. Law enforcement investigated these claims more than 15 years ago and determined them to be without merit. I have never been charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one. In this country, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, in the current climate, it seems as if you are presumed guilty the moment you are accused. I understand and look forward to clearing my name once and for all. In the meantime, I want to express my gratitude to the cast and crew that I’ve worked so closely with over the past three seasons. I wish them nothing but success. I am also so thankful to the fans that have supported me and continue to do so.”
-Danny Masterson

Innocent until proven guilty used to be a cherished value.
Burning witches is a lot more fun though.

The guy just lost his job over allegations that have already been investigated and dismissed. This is wrong.

My issue with this is Scientology. They have had their hands in the LAPD for decades and fifteen years agos they were at the height of their influence.

Kevin Spacey was axed with just an accusation.

The next person will be Bryan Singer.

I'm with you on Scientology being a corrupt and sick institution. But we can not stoop to 'any means'. Giving up due process and judicial law in favour of unverified accusations, would be a mistake. Scientology's day is coming, but lets not become a monster to fight one.

If he is guilty of rape, then he needs to go to jail. If he is not guilty then he should not be losing his job.
What is happening now is not justice, it is the demise of justice.
Kevin also deserves his day in court. He won't get it though, the mob has spoken.

With three out of the four accusers being Scientologists at the time of the alleged attacks I'm sure they will settle with them before it ever gets to court. Scientology doesn't want any investigation into them or their members.

These allegations have been around for some time. Scientology has been helping him keep this under the rug.
