Gerald Armstrong is a former clerk in a Scientology church.
Armstrong fled the United States after violating a settlement
agreement with the Church of Scientology. He has been charged with 14
separate counts of contempt, ordered to pay $650,000. to the Church
for repeatedly contravening court orders, and also ordered to serve 28
days in jail and pay a $10,000 bond. There is an outstanding warrant
for his arrest should he return to California.
In former days, Armstrong hatched a plot to seize the Church's assets
in collaboration with the Los Angeles IRS Criminal Investigation
Division.
When the Church discovered this, its attorneys obtained permission
from a Los Angeles police officer to conduct an investigation into
Armstrong's plans. The investigation caught Armstrong on videotape
stating that he intended to forge and then plant incriminating
documents on Church premises, to be discovered in a subsequent raid.
When challenged on how he would obtain proof of the allegations he
intended to make, he responded that: "We don't have to prove a goddam
thing. We don't have to prove shit. We just have to allege it."
