“An LA Times reporter was fired for an inappropriate relationship with a source and three stories about sexual assault at Occidental College had to be corrected after the paper discovered a major error.

Times reporter Jason Felch published a story in December about 27 on-campus sexual assaults that ran on the front page of the paper. The story alleged Occidental had failed to disclose the 2012 incidents in accordance with the Clery Act, which governs campus police departments. That allegation was included in two subsequent stories.

In a correction issued late Friday afternoon, the Times admitted the story was flawed, explaining that a review of documents revealed that none of the incidents required disclosure under the Clery Act.”
