Torture claim includes being locked in ant-ridden 'Hole' at 106F and being forced to lick dirty floor
A TOP scientologist has claimed she was waterboarded as part of the cult's twisted bid to control members.
A court heard that she was locked up and beaten in a squalid torture chamber called The Hole.
Members of the weird "religion" — followed by A-listers such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta — are allegedly forced to endure "horrific" abuse as part of a warped exorcism-like "auditing" process.
Former scientologist Debbie Cook, 50, lifted the lid on the "terror and tyranny" she witnessed during 17 years as head of the church in Florida.
She told a court in San Antonio, Texas, that she was put in The Hole at a scientology base in the Californian desert.
Mrs Cook said she was kept in a locked area "infested with ants" with other scientologists for seven weeks as temperatures soared to 106F. [more]
