The apple does not fall far from the tree... father Richard Prescott ( Richard E. Prescott ) is a real gem, without a conscience. He ran a deadly rip off criminon-narconon program called New Life Center San Francisco up until approximately 2009 when lawsuits and judgements finally shut him and his scam down.
Under his supposedly non-profit corp, Social Betterment Development Company (SBDC), Prescott, the former ED of Narconon Northern California, ran a Narconon based drug program out of single - room occupancy hotel rooms ( avoiding the 'facility' label and laws ) having people go through detox without medical oversight. This resulted in at least one death that I know of, Cody Bates, who committed suicide unsupervised while in detox - alone in a hotel room. You can read about this terrible and avoidable death here.

But that was not enough for Prescott, who kept running the program ( and we're talking many patients in SRO rooms and the one 6 patient facility which did not require licensing.) Skirting the laws and lying to people ( and having Narconon FSM's like
Holly Conklin referring people from their fake referral hotlines, he was right up there with Per Wickstrom's Stone Hawk with telephone lies to the vulnerable seeking help for their loved ones. Eventually, it all caught up with Prescott. There were at least 7 lawsuits filed by victims of his program in a 2 year period that resulted in judgements, and a multitude of agency complaints filed eventually resulting in Prescott closing down shop to avoid payment of subsequent judgements after the very large Bates/Clay mediated settlement. He also failed to file tax returns since 2004 and got sued successfully by th State Dept of Labor on behalf of employees he ripped off.

It was supposed to be a non-profit org. Just like Narconon. A real cash cow if was.
Richard Prescott been in hiding for some years now, moved his family to OR, keeping a low profile in the Scn community outside of the Delphian crowd. He sells alternative fuels or some such. I wonder if his kid is will to see the truth about his father.... I wonder if his kid knows what a dangerous man he was...
