Olmedo moved the start of the trial from March 27 to April 11 to accommodate witnesses. The three Jane Does, all former Scientologists, are expected to testify again.
The Church of Scientology played a prominent role in the first trial. The trio of Jane Doe accusers testified they were threatened with excommunication and told not to go to the police with their accusations. One of the accusers ended up reporting her rape to law enforcement after becoming disheartened with the church’s internal justice system.
The D.A.’s office also plans to introduce expert testimony about the impact trauma, alcohol and drugs can have on memory. During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Masterson as a serial rapist who used drugs and alcohol to assault women in his orbit. Additionally, prosecutors said they’re continuing to look for a witness who can corroborate statements from Jane Doe 3, who has publicly identified herself as Chrissie Carnell Bixler.
A status conference in the case is scheduled for March 6. Jury selection is currently set to start on April 11.Correction: a previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the prosecution will put less of a focus on the Church of Scientology.
