More texts will be posted in the next few days (now it is time to party, it's "Queens day in Holland). When time permits they'll be added to the Tax-exempt child abuse page. A foreword, this posting should be more properly named "Laura Padgett Litigation Update". Here is a listing of the cases: - In Civil Action # 92-CI-00444 Tom Padgett is the respondent and his ex-wife scientologist Laura Padgett the petitioner. - Criminal Action # 98-CR-0067 -- Tom is the defendant and Laura the complaining witness. - Appeal Action # 99-CA-1461 -- PTS & Declared SP Tom is the Appellant and Scientologist Laura is the Appellee In the doc below many double line spaces have been omitted for a more pleasant read. ======= COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY HOPKINS CIRCUIT COURT MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY 42431 CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 98-CR-067 COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY PLAINTIFF VS. AFFIDAVIT THOMAS C. PADGETT DEFENDANT Comes now the defendant, who after being duly sworn, states the following in regarding flagrant crimes in which he has committed not only in this state but in Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, and Massachusetts. In recent months Commonwealth Attorney David G. Massamore requested of the defendant's counsel that an affidavit be executed and signed openly confessing to crimes he has flagrantly committed. This is that affidavit for the Commonwealth's 4th Judicial Circuit Court's presecutor. 1. My name is Thomas Carter Padgett. 2. I reside in South Orleans, Massachusetts. 3. In the summer of 1978, I was deceptively recruited into the Scientology/Dianetics mental health sect by Laura Kay Vannoy of Madisonville, Kentucky. All experts studied in aberrational sects confirm this group as a dangerous and destructive organization. After spending thousands and thousands of dollars and reaching the much coveted level of "CLEAR" in 1984 at the Cincinnati, Ohio Org., I quietly left the group in September of 1987 and went off-lines with the Washington, DC Org. 4. In December of 1991, I read a copy of Time Magazine's May 6, 1991 cover story "Scientology - The Cult of Greed," that justified my prior beliefs that this group was a scam and definitely not a religion as one would believe from the use of the word "church" in it's public and legally copyrighted name. However I became allerted and alarmed that page 1 of 5 === my young children and their mother were still in the cult engaged in LRH training routines and Dianetic mental "auditing" processes. 5. In July of 1992, I committed the crime of speaking out against the group's harmful practices and policies. At the time, I did not realize it was a crime and thought I was just exercising basic 1st and 14th amendment rights promised by the Constitution of the United States and guaranteed by the governments of the Fifty (50) states. 6. In 1993, I continued to flagrantly commit this crime. The secular laws drafted by the group's founder science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, concisely note: "IT IS A HIGH CRIME TO PUBLICLY DEPART SCIENTOLOGY" as written on page 205 in the book "Introduction to Scientology Ethics," Bridge Publications, Los Angeles, CA., 1989. 7. An investigation with the Nashville, TN Scientology Celebrity Center, it was revealed that I was viewed as a PTS (potential trouble source,) and declared an SP enemy and an "asshole" by church officials, when all I thought I was doing was being concerned with real potential trouble sources and for those facts in regarding matters of my family and loved ones would not be suppressed in a civil litigation instigated by Laura Vannoy Padgett against myself in her closely guarded hometown. 8. As a declared SP enemy with the cult and ultimately convicted of this alleged high crime, my sentence was to be "fair gamed" per HCO Policy Letter 10/18/67 Issue IV which is the sect's Enemy-SP Order. Said Co$/LRH order states that I A "May be deprived of property, or injured by any means by any scientologist with out discpline of the scientolo-gist." And that I "May be tricked, sued, lied to, and destroyed." 9. The result of being fairgamed by scientologists including Laura Vannoy Padgett, for my continuing to flagrantly commit this page 2 of 5 === high crime (alleged,) the following events have happened to me and the lives of my loved ones in the past seven years: - I have been "disconnected" from my children per LRH policy. - My mother, Shirley T. Padgett, now deceased, was also declared an SP enemy in 1993 per the Nashville, TN Dianetics Foundation location. - I have been litigated into oblivion by Scientologist Laura Vannoy exactly per LRH/Co$ doctrine to "use the law to harass and ruin." - I have been set-up for fictional crimes. - I have been stalked by scientologists at my places of residence and work per HCO Black PR Policy with "Dead Agent Packs." - My homes in Michigan and Florida were vandalized and burglarized. - I've received threats against my life. - I've received anynomous "hate" mail with the purpose to scare and hush me. - My employers have received anynomous character assassination letters with claims that I was a religious bigot and morally lacking. - Former employees of mine have been stalked and approached by Co$ spies including a offering of sizable cash bribe to stay away from me and my children. See attached 3/11/96 Thompson report. - I've been tailed and spied on by unlicensed private investigators connected to the Church of Scientology. See P.1. report. - I've been picketed against by cult members., carrying signs that read "Stay home deadbeat dads." 12/6/97 St. Pete Times cover story. - Lies about me and Laura Padgett's civil and criminal litigations have been printed in the local Madisonville Messenger Newspaper. - I've had my U.S. mail and Post Office Box tampered with ( a federal criminal offense.) - My children's mail from me has been sensored. Phone calls from me to my children are monitored against court orders not to be. - My once successful career has been destroyed and reduced from a six (6) figure income in 1993 to a four (4) figure income in 1996, 1997, and 1998. 1999 also. - Material and expert witnesses that have testified on my behalf in Laura Padgett's civil litigation have been harassed in various manners and one noting "this is a big case for senior executives in scientology" in a sworn affidavit. page 3 of 5 === - I have been a victim of various bait n' switch tactics employed by lawyers of scientologist Laura Padgett that includes the use of a fake expert psychologist appointed by the Court, misdemeanor plea agreements, probation transfer promises devious return of child support checks, unilateral discovery processing (not bilateral disclosure for both parties,) and the use of officers of the court who are known acquaintences of the maternal pro-scientology family the Vannoys in Madisonville, KY. - My children have been "disconnected" from paternal family members such as grandparent1 aunts, uncles, and many cousins. - I have had fees, costs, and expenses assessed against me in civil court proceedings far beyond my income to pay them. 10. Currently, the Attorney for the plaintiff in this criminal action is moving the Court on April 10, 2000, to convict and sentence me to five (5) years in the state prison for new but totally erroneous allegations of more crimes committed, a plea agreement being violated by speaking with the press in these matters, and accusing my lawyers of aiding and abetting me in flagrant misdemeanor crimes and criminal acts. 11. The judge in the civil action against me, which is also the judge in this case, ruled on April 4, 1994, that I had the right to bring forth evidence and testimony in regarding the harm caused by the scientology/Dianetic belief system back then and in any future post final ruling litigation. Additionally, the Kentucky Court of Appeals noted in a January 30, 1997 Opinion that "The trial court was at all times receptive to Scientology issues relative to harm...." Thusly, I make this sworn affidavit a testimony in the belief that I have the rights to do so, and assert there is no statute in the Commonwealth of Kentucky that makes "Publicly Departing Scientology" a high crime or any felony or misdemeanor offense whatsoever. There are no statutes in the states that I have lived in since Laura Padgett's civil and criminal actions against me have been waged - Michigan, Florida, and Massachusetts or any U.S. state. There are no federal laws in existence that supports that it is a crime to publicy speak out against the abusive and potentially page 4 of 5 === lethal conduct and behavior of Scientologists and the practice of "Child Dianetics - Processing of Children." I confess openly and freely to committing secular high crimes and being severely punished and destroyed as a result. Sworn to under oath on this the 5th day of APRIL, 2000.

This document is marked "Exhibit R-8". ====== July 24, 1995 Laura Padgett [Madisonville,Ky address removed] Dear Mommy, I have decided I want to live with Dad. I realize the court says you have custody of me and the only reason is *aniniosity." I want the freedom in life to choose what I think is best for me. I don't like the very negative policies of scientology as this causes animosity. Dad is a good loving responsible father. He is not an"SP"! Just as you are a good and loving mother. I love you, Julie, and Dad more than anything and always will. Please realize the Judge is a friend of Mimi, Grandaddy, and Aunt Ellen and should not decide for me or Dad. Please work this out with Dad and not in court. Julie can speak for herself. I can visit you a lot. I am not afraid to fly alone. Please don't be hurt by this decision. I will always love you.

The Kentucky State Board of Psychology investigations into the Padgett vs. Padgett case, found Donna Nichols "not an expert" in the case and judge Boteler, Jr., of Hopins Circuit Court had erred by not selecting another psychologist to evaluate the Padgett family. ====== A.B.U.S.E.
