Hours ago Sydney police arrested IAS Freedom Medal Winner and high-ranking Miscavige crony, Jan Eastgate, and charged her with "perverting the course of justice."

The charge comes as consequence of Jan's incredibly vicious coercion of a child to lie to police and community services about the sexual abuse she suffered from her stepfather who was a member of the Church of Scientology.

The 11-year-old victim was Carmen Rainer, who made the allegations against Jan last year. As related to ABC News, "She (Eastgate) kept repeating that: 'Just remember you can't tell them. Don't say yes because otherwise you will be taken away from your parents and you will never see your family again'."

For anyone who doesn't know, Jan Eastgate is the current international president of the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights and a key enabler for the David Miscavige, the man responsible for the subversion of the Church of Scientology.  In April 2010, Jan traveled to Corpus Christie along with a handpicked group of DM suck-ups to stop John Brousseau from leaving the Sea Org.

David Miscavige awarded her the IAS Freedom Medal in 1988, three years after she threatened and intimidated Carmen Rainer to give false statements to police to protect the repute of the Church.

Carmen Rainer's story was corroborated by her mother Phoebe: "Jan Eastgate coached both of us, actually," said Phoebe Rainer to ABC News.

"She came with us to the interview and she basically told me what to say and Carmen what to say. She also told Carmen to lie to the police and I lied to the police as well because of that."

But Carmen's mother Phoebe wasn't the only witness. Carmel Underwood, was there as well. And who is Carmel? Well, she's one of the courageous authors who posted two articles on Scientology-cult.com, the earliest in June of 2009. Carmel Underwood is a freedom fighter who NEVER gave up because she's remained steadfastly loyal to the human race.

At the time of the Jan's perversion of justice, Carmel was a senior Scientology executive Australia. "I knew that Carmen was being coached on what to say to the Department of Community Services and to the police," she said. "So I challenged them on that and we had a bit of an argument and I was told it was none of my business and to get out of there. I didn't want to get out of there because I wanted to stop what was going on but I was escorted out of there."

Jan Eastgate declined to be interviewed at the time the allegations first aired on Lateline. In a later email to ABC's Lateline last year she described the allegations by Carmen and Phoebe Rainer as "egregiously false."

Last night ABC sent another email to Jan, but she did not respond. She was granted conditional bail and asked to surrender her passport. She is due to appear in Downing Centre Court on June 16.

If you are still sitting on the fence, perhaps you ought to consider just who's fence that is and who is sitting next to you?

Sharing a fence with child abusers is not a fence anyone should be resting their ass on.  This is the time to get off the fence and do what is right.
