This isn't a very good point. Firstly, the sister was 17, so the classification as statutory rape is quite arbitrary and specific to California. Secondly, this is the same woman who went on to rob Parsons of his life savings together with Hubbard (head of Scientology) and also founded Dianetics (the precursor to Scientology), again together with Hubbard. I could understand putting them all in the same rotten basket, as presumably all actors here were morally bankrupt, but making it seem like Parsons wronged Sara Northrup Hollister makes absolutely no sense. See Wikipedia for more, e.g [1]. As another commenter put it, "the whole situation was cult fuckery".
