Woman "Imprisoned" for 12 Years on Scientology Cruise Ship

Valeska Paris claims to have been held against her will for 12 years on the Church of Scientology owned cruise ship "Freewinds" after her mother broke from Scientology because she says her husband's self-made small fortune of over $1 million was coerced from him which resulted in his committing suicide.

Paris was 18 at the time and was allegedly told she would be on a two week cruise on the ship in order to "disconnect from her suppressive mother," but then found herself forced to labor for up to 48 hours at a time by herself in grueling areas of the ship. Paris also claims that she was not allowed to leave the ship without a close escort at all times, so she had no opportunity to escape or leave even though she made it clear that she did not want to be there.

The typically private Church of Scientology fully denies the claims but would not agree to provide news outlets with any interviews.
