Deputy Charged in Sexual Torture of His Wife, Her Lover

Deputy Charged in Sexual Torture of His Wife, Her Lover
Friday, October 03, 2008

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — A judge has raised bail to $5 million for a former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy accused of sexually assaulting his wife and torturing her lover after she threatened to leave him.

Robert Avery McClain, 34, of Irvine was charged in Orange County Superior Court with aggravated mayhem, torture and sodomy. If convicted, he faces a possible life sentence.

Bail was increased Thursday from $1 million to $5 million. The judge also issued a protective custody order that bars McClain from contacting either of the two victims. He is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 17.

Prosecutors said McClain punched and kicked the couple on Sunday night after meeting them at the boyfriend's apartment complex. McClain is accused of cutting the man's face with a knife, forcing the couple to undress and ordered his wife to castrate her lover.

After she pretended to do so, McClain then allegedly sodomized her, chopped off her hair with the knife and brought her to their home. She escaped with their four children the next day.

The male victim was found early Monday by a cleaning crew and was hospitalized in a coma. He is expected to survive.

McClain's uncle, Charles McClain, told the Orange County Register he talked to his nephew from jail earlier this week and that the younger McClain had said he was attacked by his wife's suitor.

Charles McClain also said that his nephew told him his wife had cheated on him and that the two were planning to separate.

"He was planning on finding a place and moving out," Charles McClain said. "Robert is a real good father, and he didn't feel his wife was acting in an appropriate manner, especially since she's a mother."

McClain, who served as a sheriff's deputy for 10 months, resigned Wednesday before the Sheriff's Department could formally terminate him.

Oh, right... all her fault. I can totally get where he's coming from.

Kinda makes ya miss the old days when we used to just stone em

Yeah... I can see how breaking into the boyfriends place, beating him, cutting him, sodomizing the wife, and cutting her hair with the knife, etc... well, that it's just alllllllllll her fault. Poor jilted deputy. Lock him up... castrate him! After all, that's what he was forcing his wife to do to her boyfriend... right?

Hahaha good point. An eye for an eye. Or in this case, a teste...

I want to know how she PRETENDED to castrate her boyfriend? I'm sorry, but if I was the deputy (God forbid I become that insane) I'd know if a dude's balls came off or not.

if he handed her a damn knife why didn't she just stab him?

Another good point. If she can pretend to cut her lover's nuts off, she should be able to thrust a knife through her husband's eye socket.

This dude could be built like The Rock, though.

I imagine since he's a cop, he probably had a gun in one hand. And a whole lotta crazy up in his dome.

-HECK!

Yeah... I'm fairly sure that he had a gun too.

Besides, I don't know how I'd react, given that situation. You've just watched the man you love, be beaten, terribly... cut up even. Then, you're raped, and sodomized, by the man that you're leaving. She was probably terrified to try to do ANYTHING.
