Re: Jones v. Sirens IVgeclia, Zieden, Beath, grower, Jones, Does 1-50

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones:

We have been engaged as litigation counsel by Mike Jones. Mr. Jones, as you well know,is a
Minister of the Church of Scientology and has been for many years. Please accept this assurance
that Mr. Jones has made this life and religious choice knowingly and as matter of his absolute
free will. He stands by and is well satisfied with his choice.

Notwithstanding the life and religious choice Mr. Jones has made, we have learned that you and
co-conspirators Sirens Media, Hilary Heath, Sam Brower, Gabrielle Zieden, Karen De La
Carriere and others presently unknown have agreed to engage in and have committed overt acts,
including a series of tortious and criminal acts, in furtherance of the conspiracy to violate his
privacy and to hold him out to his peers, friends and the public in a false light. Such conduct
violates statutory law, case law and Article I, Section 1 of the California Constitution. And why
have you violated Mr. Jones rights? To attempt to make money in a fake reality television
program! If you had the capacity, you would be ashamed. Your disgraceful acts, and those of
your conspirators prove, however, that you are not capable of being ashamed.

Let me summarize some of the misconduct you and your conspirators have engaged in with the
goal of enriching yourselves at the price of humiliating Mr. Jones. First, you have created,
disseminated and posted handbills with Mr. Jones name and likeness without permission and
with the legend `MISSING" emblazoned. The handbills were delivered and posted in and around
where Mr. Jones provides his religious services and resides. When delivered you and every
single one of your co-conspirators fully knew that Mr. Jones was not "missing." You and every
single one of your co-conspirators knew that Mr. Jones was resident at a facility operated by the
Church of Scientology and was engaged in his services as a Minister of that Church. What was
"missing" is any sense of respect for his religion and his freedom to choose the path he wished
for his life. You should be ashamed. But, that's not all.

Not only did you seek to invade Mr. Jones' privacy and hold him in a false light for the
amusement of a televisiari audience and for your private financial enrichment, but you and your
co-conspiratar•s doubled down on your• lie and made a false police report that Mr. Jones was
"missing" and or held against his will and that locating him was a police emergency. This, lie,
intended to generate police activity to generate footage for a television show, of course violates
the California Penal Code. You should be ashamed. But that's not all.

Based upon the false repoz~t, the Los Angeles Police Department officer believed it best to have
Mr•. Jones call his parents. Imagine, a 42 year old man forced to call his "mommy and daddy" for
the amusement of a television audience so that you and your conspirators could make money.
This waste oftaxpayers' money and a police officer's time of course led to the prompt
conclusion that you and your conspirators had made a factually baseless repar-t. You should be
ashamed. But that's not all.

Not content with merely lying to the police, after lying to the friends, peers and passersby neat•
the Church of Scientology, once again you and your conspirators upped the ante with the goal of
humiliating Mr. Jones. This time it was a false report to the State of California Adult Protective
Services that Mr. Jones was being held "against his will" and that he was "injured." This lie to a
governmental agency is itself another crime. And the goal of creating another `incident" in
fiutherance of the goal of making money from a television program was furthered by a Social
Worker paid by taxpayers forced to waste his time and the taxpayers' money interviewing Mr.
Jones. Of course, this lie led the Social Worker to conclude that the allegation was factually
baseless. A waste of a public employee's dine and of the taxpayer's money. And why? because
you and your conspirators wanted to make money by humiliating Mr. Jones by invading his
privacy and holding him in a false light.

Do not comfort yourself with the lawless notion that you and your conspirators may interfere
with Mr. Jones' adult and knowing decision to ptusue a religion and lifestyle of his choosing by
claiming that it is a "rescue", or an "intervention" or a "deprograming" or some other cover story
to conceal your malicious purpose. Such conduct has long been held unlawful in California
when the conduct is directed toward adult.

Mr. Jones is fine. Mr. Jones does not want to be "rescued". Mr. Jones doesn't want to have
anything to do with you, your conspiz•atoi•s or anybody else who will seek to invade his privacy.
And please understand that the law is long and well established that such `rescues" of an adult
are against the law.

Let me make it clear and present your options in simple terms. If you do not immediately cease
and desist your effot-ts to invade Mr. Jones' privacy, and embarrass and humiliate him with the
goal of making money for yourselves with your idiotic "reality' television show, we shall
proceed with swift and sure legal action preventing your egregious misconduct and seeking
compensatory and punitive damages for the humiliation and intentional infliction of emotional
distress your tortious acts have caused and will cause Mr. Jones.
