Vicki Podberesky and her client David Miscavige dba the Church of Scientology International

Los Angeles sex crimes defense attorney Vickie Podberesky knows her way around the court system and the sleazy underbelly of Los Angeles. One her more horrific clients was pedophile David Michael Fagerness. He was sentenced to 20 years prison in 2012 for his participation in “Lost Boy” the infamous international child pornography ring the FBI broke up.

As with the Church of Scientology, members of Lost Boy had to remain in good standing to be part of the group. From the FBI press release:

According to court documents, Lost Boy had a thorough vetting process for new members, who were required to post child pornography to join the organization.  Once accepted, members were required to continue posting child pornography to remain in good standing and to avoid removal from the board.

Certain Scientologists, and one is too many, had to remain silent about Danny Masterson’s alleged multiple rapes in order to remain in good standing with the Church of Scientology. The Lost Boy group had the same rule. The demand to remain silent about sex crimes is a prima facie indictment of Scientology.

In the case of Lisa McPherson’s death, Scientology leader David Miscavige ordered crucial documents destroyed. It is just the opposite in the Danny Masterson rape case: Miscavige wanted to get the LA District Attorney’s discovery documents no matter what.

Vicki Podberesky has been one of Scientology’s long-time attorneys in Los Angeles. It was therefore not surprising to see her in the court during Danny Masterson’s first rape trial or the retrial. What was surprising was the tranche of discovery documents she had in her possession. Where did she get the documents?

Masterson attorney Sean Holley assured the court there was a perfectly reasonable explanation. We can’t wait to hear Podberesky take the stand under oath to explain. We also  wonder who will represent Podberesky as counsel when she explains how she obtained the LA District Attorney’s discovery documents.

JD1 has retained Marsy’s Law attorney Dominick Cognata. He wrote the following in a court filing:
