According to the Church of Scientology's own online statements and videos, Church of Scientology Executives of the highest level (second in command) mentally and physically hurt, abused other executives and staff members on the International Headquarters of the Church of Scientology in Hemet, California for more than 20 years. Besides the ecclesiastical crimes they violated several State and Federal Laws.
Even after David Miscavige had learnt about this, they could remain in position for years. Miscavige denies that he beat anybody, but according to the Church own sites he knew about the beatings of others.
I collected these informations from COS sites, so beware of the links if you are afraid.

That same year, he joined the Church’s religious order, the Sea Organization, in Australia."

1982 [Mike Rinder is a bad person]
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/mark-marty-rathbun/declarations/"I knew Mike Rinder for many years. In fact, he was my own senior when I first came to work in the Church of Scientology International in the United States in 1982. I was immediately struck by the fact that he was a vulgar individual who would mock others to make them feel ill at ease and especially those who were weaker and in a lower position than his own, particularly women. He was also vicious with junior staff, harassing them repeatedly. He was a bully who was polite to those senior to him and mean to those below him. My staff were scared of him, as they knew he was a two-faced person who could not be trusted.”
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/media-newsroom/anderson-coopers-last-gasp/
1984 [Marty Ratbun is an even worse person]
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/mark-marty-rathbun/declarations/"I have known Marty Rathbun since 1984. In the entire time that I knew Rathbun as a Church staff member, which was from 1984 until he deserted the Church in 2004, he was always working either on external affairs of the Church or internal investigations, such as to find out why a project or program was overdue. He chronically fouled up legal and other external matters he was meant to handle and, on ethics matters within the Church. Rathbun would often use intimidation and physical violence, though the Scientology ethics codes are clearly against such actions. He routinely acted like a bully towards his fellow staff members, using physical force and threats of physical force to intimidate people — usually on persons who were of a smaller physical size than he."

Mike was holding [a male person] against the wall when I got there. I told Mike to let go of him in a calm voice. Mike then came directly over to me, grabbed me by both arms and shoved me, which nearly knocked me down."
http://www.freedommag.org/special-reports/sources/rinder-the-lady-killer.html"Nonetheless, following stories in a local newspaper, when Mike Rinder’s physical attacks became public knowledge, a veil was lifted on a well-hidden history of violence directed at women. Consequently, those who had suffered his abuse in the past suddenly came forward to tell their stories."

"Marty then engaged in a campaign to covertly and systematically take out and undermine any executive or staff who might expose him. He did this through abusing his privilege to act as a security checker. ...

http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/mark-marty-rathbun/declarations/"In the main conference room in the International Management space, in early 2004, I witnessed Marty Rathbun stride up to Mike Rinder while Rinder was speaking to a group of about 40 other staff, and violently tackle him to the floor. Once Rathbun had him down on the floor, he straddled his body and proceeded to choke Rinder, while asking him some question I could not discern. Rathbun kept on choking Rinder, while also pounding his head against the floor repeatedly and demanding that he answer the question. Finally several men had to forcibly pull him off."
http://www.freedommag.org/special-r...mily-madness-mayhem-and-mysterious-death.html"In January 2004, after Rathbun had been demoted to a lower Church and relieved of any remaining vestiges of authority, he began to display what Church officials called “psychotic behavior.” Witnesses told of how Rathbun tackled co-worker Mike Rinder, and violently beat him. It took five men to pull Rathbun off Rinder, officials said. "
http://www.freedommag.org/special-reports/sources/the-kinky-relationship-rathbun-and-rinder.html"During a discussion involving several other executives and staff members of the Church of Scientology International, Rathbun was present and up to that point had remained mostly silent. Suddenly and completely out of the blue, he jumped at Mike Rinder and tackled him violently to the floor while screaming at him with mostly incomprehensible words. Rathbun straddled Rinder, pinning him down with all his weight, while strangling him with both his hands and squeezing his neck."
http://www.freedommag.org/knowing-mike-rinder.html"Cathy Bernardini (former wife of Mike Rinder)
“I was married to him for almost 35 years.
“Over the years, he has told me so many times about various actions Mr. Miscavige has extended to him and that he was just blown away with because he knew that David Miscavige really cared about him and really did. And he did.
“In January 2004 when Marty Rathbun beat him up, I thought he was going to kill Mike and I was hysterical. Mike had cuts on his ears and face, his lips were swollen, his face was bruised, he had bruises on his chest. He was a mess. Those injuries lasted for days. It was a nightmare.
“In January 2004, when Marty Rathbun beat him…now I was there, I worked in the building, I was at that meeting.
“Marty literally lunged at Mike and just started beating the hell out of him, got him to the ground, put his entire body on top of Mike's chest and then started strangling him. Mike turned purple. I was hysterical. He’s turning purple. This guy’s nuts, he’s insane. I literally thought he was going to kill my husband and I was upset. One other thing is, that wasn’t the first time."
