Amy Scobee is a former member of the Church of Scientology who spent much of her time with the organisation as part of its Sea Org, a body which oversees the church's day to day operations. She is the author of Scientology: Abuse At The Top.
A member of the Church since the age of 14, when she later decided to leave the organisation then began to criticise its leadership, intimate details of her pre-marital sex life were leaked to the St Petersburg Times in Florida. The Church has admitted to sending this information to the newspaper, but has argued that this was acceptable because the information was part of an affidavit she had signed and which was therefore not confidential. Scobee appeared in the 2010 Panorama documentary The Secrets of Scientology.
