In a shocking turn of events, a Hollywood producer has been sentenced to 146 years to life in state prison for the 2021 drug-related deaths of two young women. David Brian Pearce, 42, was found guilty in February 2025 of two counts of first-degree murder in the fentanyl overdose deaths of 24-year-old model Christy Giles and her friend, 26-year-old architect Hilda Cabrales-Arzola.
Pearce was also convicted of rape and other sexual assaults against seven other women between 2007 and 2021. Prosecutors argued that he drugged the victims "to facilitate the sexual assault," with one stating, "The defendant is a rapist and now he is a murderer."
