A Swiss woman claims she was held captive for 12 years on the Church of Scientology’s cruise ship, Freewinds, RadarOnline.com has learned.

During an interview with Australia’s ABC Lateline program, Valeska Paris says Scientology leader David Miscavige sent her to live on the ship when she was just 18-years-old — never allowing her to leave the ship without supervision and having her engage in hard labor.

"I was basically hauled in and told that my mum had attacked the church and that I needed to disconnect from her because she was suppressive," Paris explained in the video interview, adding that her mother left the church after her husband killed himself after a Scientology deal duped him out of millions of dollars.
