The following was faxed to FACTnet in Boulder, CO. in January of 1998. ------------------------------------------------------------ AFFIDAVIT JUDITH A. VANATOR I bear witness to the various assorted forms of harassment of Tom Padgett by agents of his ex-wife Laura Padgett of [and] the Sceintology sect of which Mr. Padgett is a former member and defector. I witnessed first hand harassment by Betty Vannoy, the mother of Laura Padgett in July 1995. I was a witness to the suspicious burlary of Mr. Padgett's home in Orlando, FL on May 1, 1996, with strong evidence of Scientology markings and motives. I was a witness to phone harassment of Mr. Padgett on March 3, 1997 by a purported St. Petersburg Times reporter re: Scientology proven to be erroneous and anonymous. I personally met with P.I. Richard Thompson who linked Laura Padgett's Kentucky lawyer with the Scientology headquarters. I met with the Orange County Sheriff's Dept. deputy and a Clearwater Police detective assisting in the investigations of harassment of Mr. Padgett. I have met a former employee of Mr. Padgett's who swears she was offered a $5000 bribe at her place of work by an anonymous male, for her to stay away from Mr. Padgett and his children. I spoke with the principal of Preston & Assocs whose professional evaluation concluded authoritative intervention was needed to stop unfriendly cultic attacks of Mr. Padgett at his places of work. Mr. Padgett is definitely a victim of harassment and attacks from his ex-wife and the suspicious scientology cult. This statement is made without any reasonable doubt. ---------------------------- Judith A. Vanator P.O.
