Scientology critic
fears sect's abuse
Righteously angry Celebrity Scientologists like Tom Cruise (pictured
lecturing Matt Lauer in June about psychiatry and anti-depressants) are
comfortable in the church, but longtime foe Keith Henson says the sect
is trying to track him down — and not for a conversion.
Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and Beck are among the celebs
promoted as the cheerful face of the Church of Scientology. But one
die-hard critic of the sect claims it's more sinister than anyone suspects.
Keith Henson is eager to talk to Cruise biographer Andrew Morton about
his battles with Scientology, but it might have to be a quick
conversation — considering that Henson is on the lam.
Four years ago, Henson, an electrical engineer, was convicted in
Riverside County (Calif.) Superior Court of harassing members of the
church. Prosecutors pointed to his picketing a Scientology film studio,
and a Web chat in which he talked about aiming a "Cruise" missile at the
studio.
Henson insists he was joking. But after being sentenced to a year in
Riverside County's jail, he says he wasn't laughing when a law
enforcement officer "said I was not likely to come out of jail alive."
Henson fled to Canada. Last April, he tells us, a private eye working
for the church tracked him down in Brantford, Ontario, and nearly plowed
him down in an alley — just as he claims other private eyes have tried
to run him off the road.
Denied asylum in Canada, he's now on the run. This week, he blew through
New York. For protection, he has hired his own private eye, Paul
Barresi, who tangled with the Scientologists after he told a tabloid
he'd had an intimate relationship with Travolta (a claim Barresi later
recanted).
Scientology spokesman Ed Parkin calls Henson's claims "absurd," adding,
"he uses the media to create controversy and deflect attention from his
own crimes."
For now, says Henson, he's looking for a state "where it's legal to kill
bounty hunters."
