Local Florida news outlet, Tampa Bay Times. excerpt:
Through its highly regimented Sea Org workforce, Scientology officials systematically trafficked Baxter, 39, and others by indoctrinating them as children and making it financially, physically and psychologically impossible for them to leave as adults, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Tampa federal court against Scientology leader David Miscavige and five church entities.
The 90-page complaint was filed on behalf of Baxter, his wife, Laura Baxter, and Valeska Paris, who all were raised in Scientology and worked on theFreewinds, where they said the church confiscated their passports and identification documents. They allege six counts of forced labor and peonage in violation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
It's widely reported over the last few days that Elisabeth Moss, star of The Handmaid's Tale, was raised as a Scientologist, has no issues with it, and says it's an "open" and "misunderstood" organisation.

That's my understanding of Moss's position.
