H. Keith Henson is mentioned in this post. It might be useful for everyone
here to note that Mr Henson has been an outspoken critic of Scientology,
and subject to harassment at their hands. In a 1998 trial brief

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
  FOR THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE

KENNETH HODEN, Plaintiff,
  vs.
H. KEITH HENSON, Defendant.
Case No. RIC 306884
Assigned for all purposes to Hon. Stephen D. Cunnison, Department 7

(to be found at http://www.lermanet.com/cos/hensonmotion.htm )

we read in the TRIAL BRIEF OF DEFENDANT that

< The gist of plaintiff's fallacious case is that defendant is a large,
drug-crazed, dangerous man with a history of violent, criminal and
murderous activity within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure ß
527.6(b). Declaration of Kenneth Hoden, 3, 4 and 5, Declaration of
Kendrick L. Moxon, Exh., 1-15. However, nothing could be further from the
truth as Exhibit A hereto evidences. Mr. Henson had never been arrested
for any alleged Offense until he was targeted by Scientology's ferocious
litigation juggernaut. The Church of Scientology, through its office of
Special Affairs ("OSA") has a long and documented history of abusing the
judicial system with vexatious and frivolous litigation for the purpose of
harassing and destroying its critics, even framing them. This, and the
related cases, are merely further examples of this sordid anti- social
history. >

Curious, isn't it?

(I don't know what has transpired since that case.)
