Man goes to Narconon rehab for help and gets held against his will; made to endure Scientology teachings and bizarre verbal attacks. Wife sues.

A lawsuit was filed in Nevada County, CA last week by a woman who paid for
rehabilitation help for her now husband, only to find out that she was repeatedly deceived and the services were not as promised. Sarah Locatelli of Grass Valley, CA states Narconon denied her then fiance Daniel Locatelli any medical care when he needed it and kept him against his will when he asked to leave. He was also made subject to verbal attacks, often of an anti gay substance. He finally escaped after 4 days.

The Locatelli vs Narconon Southern California, Narconon Joshua Hills et al
Background:
Locatelli filed suit against Newport Beach's Narconon Southern California and Narconon Joshua Hills, then located at what is now the location of Narconon Palm Spring on Hopper Rd, Palm Desert Springs - now at 82652 Lordsburg Dr in Indio Riverside County in CA This was after repeated requests for a refund were ignored.

Among the claims against the facilities and their employees and agents are breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation. A referral help site unknowingly run by Narconon and it's agents is noted, as well as statements made to Mr. Locatelli during the 'therapy' which show a culture of hostility and intolerance.

The case centers on Narconon, a part of the secular arm of the Church of Scientology. As Mr. Locateii came to find out, Narconon hides the fact outright or tells victims they are not affiliated with Scientology and yet the program componients are the same as Scientology classes most just under a different title.

There is a history of complaints against Narconon where this is voiced. Multiple unsuspecting victims in complaints filed with state agencies and in courts across the country over the last 10 years have complainted about the degrading nature of the routines, the false promises of therapy and human right abuses while there.
