Before the reporter published an article the writing is censored by the City of Irvine and partners to protect the interest of the newspapers sponsors.
Damage control in important in preservation of image. In Irvine safety is the image. Attorneys are involved in the proper wording of articles before reaching the press. Primary goal is to conceal the name, address, and location of crime scene. Reporters have certain responsibility in presenting the real fact and often found other substitutions in avoiding conflicts with its sponsors interest.
This incident occurred in Woodbury in an IAC Woodbury Square but there is no mentioning of Woodbury nor IAC but just some streets that no one in Irvine has heard of. Don?t even bother to google using terms like ?Woodbury, IAC or Woodbury Square? It took me a long time to find this article. Luckily I recalled ?LA sheriff?. I hope these three articles of crimes prove my point regarding extreme censorship. I would never trust journalism published by OC Register.

L.A. sheriff's deputy charged with sexual torture of wife and man
Prosecutors say Robert McClain tried to force her to castrate man she was leaving him for.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
IRVINE ? A Los Angeles sheriff's deputy was charged today with torture, mayhem and sexual assault for an attack in which prosecutors say he tried to force his wife to castrate a man she was planning to leave him for.
Police took Robert Avery McClain, 34, into custody Monday, hours after the male victim was found at an Irvine apartment complex. Prosecutors on Wednesday detailed the attack they say was spurred by McClain's wife's announcement that she was leaving him for another man.
Prosecutors say McClain's 31-year-old wife, whose name was not released, told him Sunday that she planned to leave him for a 23-year-old man who lived at a <span style="color: red;">nearby Irvine apartment complex</span>, where she worked in a leasing office. McClain is accused of persuading his wife to take him to meet the other man, whose name has not been released, at 10 p.m. that night.
Upon arriving at the apartment complex in the in the <span style="color: blue;">1000 block of Payton</span>, prosecutors say, McClain led the two into a kitchenette in the back of the leasing office, where he began to argue with them. As the argument escalated, McClain is accused of punching and kicking his wife and the other man, before taking out a knife and forcing them both to undress.
McClain undressed as well, prosecutors said, at which point he is accused of unsuccessfully ordering his wife to perform a sex act on both him and the other man, and then giving his wife the knife and ordering her to castrate the other man, which she pretended to do.
Prosecutors said McClain is then accused of using the knife to repeatedly slice the other man's face before forcing his wife to leave with him.
After leaving the leasing office, McClain is accused of sexually assaulting his wife, chopping off her hair with the knife and driving her back to their nearby Irvine home.
The wife and her four children were able to escape from the house about 5 a.m., prosecutors said, driving to a nearby hospital.
A cleaning crew arriving at the leasing office just after 7 a.m. discovered the male victim, Irvine police Lt. Rick Handfield said. Police soon found the wife at the hospital, where she identified her husband as the assailant, Handfield said.
Police found McClain at<span style="color: green;"> his apartment in the 1200 block of Virtuoso </span>on Monday. He was taken to a hospital to treat injuries that police believe were sustained during the assault, Handfield said.
Both victims are expected to survive, authorities said. McClain is still receiving medical treatment and is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, prosecutors said.
McClain faces one felony count of aggravated mayhem, one felony count of torture, one felony count of great bodily injury, with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a deadly weapon, great bodily injury to a sexual assault victim and the use of a deadly weapon during a sexual offense.
If convicted, McClain faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. His arraignment date is still undetermined, a district attorney's official said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced Tuesday that the department plans to fire McClain. He was hired in November 2007, and assigned to the department's custody division, where he served as a probationary deputy, sheriff's officials said.
