The Tragic Human Trafficking Story Ron Miscavige Wants to Hide

In his effort to monetize his own family through his so-called “memoir,” Ron Miscavige cites hearsay he “heard about” on the Internet to make absurd claims he and others were “mistreated.” But when Ron knows firsthand that someone is actually being mistreated through a crime and when that person was named as a victim of human trafficking — and it’s happening right in front of him because his namesake son is at the center of it — Ron covers it up.

When Ron knows firsthand that someone is actually being mistreated through a crime and when that person was named as a victim of human trafficking — and it’s happening right in front of him because his namesake son is at the center of it— Ron covers it up.

That’s what happened when his son Ronnie was arrested within days of Ron moving in with him. Ronnie’s arrest was for solicitation of prostitution, as part of a larger law enforcement sting. Ron kept it from his family because he knew that it was exactly what his daughters had feared when they pleaded with him not to go live with Ronnie. Having been sexually abused by their older brother when they were all of 8 and 11 years old, they knew his character. Ron knew that moving in with his namesake would be such an egregious act of betrayal that his daughters would want nothing to do with him again. But Ron did it anyway.

Records show that what Ron covered up on behalf of Ronnie was far worse than imagined. The woman Ronnie had been paying for sex, Rachel, was found by the police to be a victim of a pimp who was holding her against her will. She was also a drug addict who was physically abused by one of her pimps. A pimp had rented her room and had set up shop in the adjoining room.

According to police reports, the pimp took the victim’s ID and her mobile phone and would not permit her to make calls from her room.  “Yesterday, he repeatedly punched me about 10 times, one of the punches hit my face,” she told police.

A prospective client took pity on Rachel’s cries for help.  He did the right thing by declining to have sex with her, then reporting the matter, which led to the police investigation. By contrast, instead of doing the right thing, police records say Ronnie paid for sexual services between November and January.

Police records show that Rachel told police that she had sexually serviced Ronnie 30 times over a two-month period. On one occasion when she and another prostitute serviced Ronnie together for a 30-minute threesome that included “everything,” Ronnie paid each $100.

Interviewed by police, Ronnie claimed that he had researched topless massages at “Avenue X” and Backpage. Backpage is the notorious website law enforcement officials consider a cesspool of human trafficking. It’s the same website defended relentlessly by Ron’s shill Tony Ortega when he worked for the website’s owner, which reportedly made millions in advertising dollars from Backpage. As New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof once asked, “If prostitution of children is illegal, why is it that we allow an estimated 100,000 underage girls and boys to be sold for sex in America each year — many on a single American website, Backpage[dot]com?”

The police report also stated that when asked point-blank if he had paid for sex during the “massages,” Ronnie “stated that he would like to answer the question truthfully but was afraid that he would get in trouble if he did so.” Police also stated that Ronnie confirmed text messages he received and sent, including one in which he agreed to buy condoms before meeting the prostitute, and that he had a password-protected image file on his phone with photos of prostitutes he had taken.

The police report also stated that when asked point-blank if he had paid for sex during the “massages,” Ronnie “stated that he would like to answer the question truthfully but was afraid that he would get in trouble if he did so.”

Of course, Ron never mentions Ronnie’s arrest in his whitewashed “memoir.” He makes the absurd statement that down in Virginia, Becky and I got along great with Ronnie and Bitty, and life was good.”

From Ron’s comment, it sounds like having his namesake son caught up in a drug and prostitution sting was just another day at the office. And the fact that Ronnie’s wife, Bitty, left him because she couldn’t take it anymore was just like playing another lick on his trumpet. Then, instead of condemning Ronnie’s behavior, to sell books Ron vilifies his younger son, David, the moral compass of the family who not only cared for his father but kept his irresponsible behavior in check for most of Ron’s life.

Incredibly, Ron goes out of his way to laud Ronnie by writing “Ronnie, for instance, is the most considerate and thoughtful person you would ever want to meet,” as if exploiting a young woman strung out on heroin is an act of kindness.

Ron is talking about the same person—Ronnie—who police reports show exploited a woman who was a human trafficking victim. It’s the same immoral son he went to live with against the explicit wishes of his daughters, an act of betrayal that he refused to admit is the catalyst for their disowning him. Ronnie also is the same person who turned his home into a flophouse for individuals he and Ron befriended who are obsessed with trying to hurt Ron’s own daughters through frivolous litigation and media smears.

So when Ron finally decided to venture on his own and move away from the immoral older son Ronnie, it was the moral younger son David who “sent me $100,000 so I could buy a house. On top of that, David added a plan for top-quality medical and dental insurance, with $5,000 annually to cover it.

Any normal father would be happy to receive such help and feel grateful to a son like David, especially since Ron was able to buy a house free and clear with no mortgage or house payments. For the first time in his life he finally had that kind of financial security. By contrast, Ronnie, who Ron had expected to shower him with money, gave him nothing other than a temporary roof over his head and the embarrassment that came from living with a son right when he was arrested in a law enforcement sting for exploiting a sad victim of human trafficking.

Any normal father would be happy to receive such help and feel grateful to a son like David, especially since Ron was able to buy a house free and clear with no mortgage or house payments.

But Ron doesn’t see it that way. Instead, he rants about how there might have been a hidden meaning in this generous $100,000 gift from David, ignoring that it came with zero strings attached. Instead of showing gratitude, Ron targets the son who leads a moral life and oversees a worldwide religion dedicated to promoting human rights, mobilizing relief efforts when disasters occur and combating the kind of drug abuse suffered by the prostitute his immoral son used 30 times in two months.

Ron fails to recognize that David is so generous with his father because he’s that compassionate. On top of that, David helped his father even though Ron had cut off all communication with him, even telling one of his daughters that if she ever gave David his mobile phone number, he would change phones so that neither David nor the sister could ever speak with him again.

What all this says is that Ron’s claim that he wrote his literary forgery to reconnect with his family is just another one of his con jobs.  Ron ignores the moral wing of his family, praising his older son even when Ronnie was arrested for soliciting prostitution, is known to have frequented massage parlors in Virginia and lately has been living under the same roof as a woman who some refer to by the mysterious name “Misty Z.”

Ron’s behavior is not how someone acts who wants to mend his relationship with the moral part of his family. It’s what someone does who is only out to make a buck.
