Marcy Sargeant of the Mace-Kingsley Family Center in Clearwater, Florida, held a seminar at Scientology's Pasadena "Ideal Org" on Sunday.

The timing is interesting, because just last week, Leah Remini's A&E series, Scientology and the Aftermath, interviewed Tara Reile and Nathan Rich, two former students at the notoriously abusive "Mace-Kingsley" ranches operated by Scientologists in California and New Mexico. Co-star Mike Rinder explained that the ranch had been shut down in 2002, but that Mace-Kingsley (named after two high-level Scientologists) still ran as a center for auditing children in Clearwater.

Erin Hodges Plumb, the brave Southern California resident who had taken a copy of Karen Pressley's new book to a mixer at Scientology's Int Base three weeks ago, signed up for a spot in the seminar, which was supposed to be open only to Scientologists.
