[CA] Now-fired Deputy McClain torture-of-wife-&-man goes to trial in March



TRIAL DATE SET FOR EX-DEPUTY TORTURE CASE
The Orange County Register

IRVINE - The jury trial of a former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy accused of torturing and sexually assaulting his wife and another man at an Irvine apartment has been set for late March. Robert McClain last year pleaded not guilty to torture, mayhem and sexual assault charges stemming from what authorities described as a brutal, nine-hour attack. After more than a year of pre-trial hearings and continued arraignments, McClain's jury trial will begin on March 22 in Orange County Superior Court. Prosecutors allege that McClain tortured his wife and her alleged suitor after learning that she was planning to leave him for the other man. Prosecutors contend that McClain persuaded his wife to introduce him to the other man at his Irvine apartment, and then convinced the two to go with him to an empty leasing office, where they say an argument turned physical and McClain allegedly beat the two victim's, slashing the younger man's face with a knife, forcing his wife to cut the man in the groin region, then forcibly sodomizing her. McClain's attorneys have not commented on the case, but his relatives have claimed that the other man attacked McClain first. [LINK]

  1. It's been 3 years since these incident happened. I got to be the person who found the victim apparently uncouncience. I'm looking for the victim Michael, in any one knows how's to contact him please respond to the comment. Ill really appreciated. I got traumatized for over half a year but at times I still get some flashbacks and still feel fear. I believe if I see him once again, hopefully in better conditions, would help me out to kinda forget the way I remember him that morning in September.
    Any way how to contact him will be appreciated, thank you.

  2. Do we have a verdict, sentence yet? This was one of the most horrific near death assault I have ever heard of and occasionally search for a status on the case. I also pray that Michael has recovered and is well.
