Costa Mesa Cops Stonewall: PD hiding public records tied to journalist Julie Holburn’s corruption probe into Orange County family courts.

Costa Mesa Cops Stonewall Reporter on Court Corruption Files

    Costa Mesa Police are hiding something. Investigative journalist Julie M. Anderson-Holburn says they’re stonewalling her public records request in a case tied directly to her explosive reporting on Orange County family court corruption. Holburn requested police reports contradicting court claims made by high-powered attorney David Monarch. But the cops won’t release a word—citing “privacy” and ignoring their obligations under California law. Critics say it’s retaliation for Holburn’s journalism. CMPD’s excuses have sparked national outrage. “They’re using every loophole to keep those reports in the dark,” says Holburn. Now she’s going public—again. Costa Mesa may have picked the wrong journalist to cross.

    The New Guard

      On September 11, 2025, Connecticut’s family court insiders will gather at the elite Elm City Club to celebrate their own. The Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce will honor psychologist Sidney S. Horowitz for his decades of influence on custody litigation. Critics say this is no celebration — it’s a coronation for the next generation of judges and court vendors who profit from prolonged custody fights. Families, especially mothers, allege a system rigged for profit, with entrenched actors using “the best interest of the child” to justify private pay appointments, unchecked discretion, and court-empowered trauma. Reformers call it legalized racketeering in plain sight.
