Producer Gets 146 Years for Drug Overdose Deaths of Model & Her Friend
Hollywood Producer
146 Years in Prison
For Drugging, Raping, Murdering Women
Published
Hollywood producer and serial rapist David Brian Pearce was sentenced to 146 years to life in prison Wednesday for the tragic drug overdose deaths of a model and her friend … in addition to other heinous convictions.
Pearce was convicted of murdering 24-year-old Christy Giles and her 26-year-old friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola in the first degree back in February. According to ABC7 Los Angeles, further investigation also uncovered rapes he committed against several women over more than a decade — he was also convicted of multiple counts including forcible rape, sexual penetration by use of force, rape of an unconscious person, and sodomy by use of force.
Prosecutors said Pearce reportedly met Giles and Cabrales-Arzola at an after-hours rave and later drugged them to facilitate a sexual assault.
The details of Giles’ and Cabrales-Arzola’s last moments are disturbing. On November 13, 2021, Giles — a model and aspiring actress — was already dead when she was taken to Southern California Hospital at Culver City in the L.A. area, ABC7 reports.
Cabrales-Arzola — an architect — was in critical condition when she arrived at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Hospital. Her heartbroken family made the difficult decision to take her off life support later that month.
Prosecutors told jurors Pearce and co-defendant Brandt Walter Osborn were the ones who dropped the women off at the respective hospitals 2 hours apart … after they overdosed at the apartment the men shared.
Giles reportedly died of a lethal mix of cocaine, fentanyl, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, and ketamine … while Cabrales-Arzola died of multiple organ failure, with cocaine, ecstasy, and other undetermined drugs found in her system.
Pearce reportedly denied giving them the drugs that killed them, but after two and half days of deliberation, the jury decided they weren’t buying it.
Osborn, 46 — who was facing 2 counts of being an accessory after the fact — is awaiting a potential retrial after jurors said they were deadlocked over his verdict.
Giles’ mother, Dusty, reportedly said she was “so proud” of the prosecution for winning the case, and happy that Pearce’s sexual assault victims “finally had their day in court” too.

Arlene Is Alone
Sophie Grégoire kept it classy and cordial when asked about her ex Justin Trudeau and his new love Katy Perry … suggesting while she might be hurt, she’s not putting her feelings over her family.
She told Arlene Dickinson on the “Arlene Is Alone” podcast, “We’re all human beings and stuff affects us,” admitting she allows herself to feel all the normal emotions that may crop up when things don’t go her way, but ultimately she decides how she responds to those emotions.
She explained, “The woman I want to become through this is my decision.”
Sophie added, “We have separate lives, but we have one family life.”
The former TV host and the former Prime Minister of Canada have 3 children together — 18-year-old Xavier, 16-year-old Ella-Grace, and 11-year-old Hadrien.
Two years after her split from Justin, 53, he started seeing Katy, 41. The new power couple made their relationship official at the pop singer’s 41st birthday in October.
Jack Doherty
Rocks TMZ Mugshot Shirt
… After Posting Bail
Published
Jack Doherty is out of jail and on TMZ … or rather, TMZ is on him … cause he wore a t-shirt with our logo over his mugshot in a new video.
Just after posting bail last night, the content creator took straight to TikTok to document his return home, saying, “I’m about to take my first shower since getting out. Jail is so freaking dirty, I didn’t want to take a shower in there.”
In another video, the 22-year-old boasted about posting his reported $3,500 bail as soon as his bail was available … “I got out in under 24 hours.”
As we reported, Jack was arrested in the Miami area outside a smoke shop and booked into Florida’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before 9 AM on 3 charges — possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest.
Specifically, cops say he was in possession of amphetamine — a medication used to manage ADHD and narcolepsy — and less than 20 grams of weed.
Jack rose to fame in 2017 after his videos showing himself flipping various objects went viral. He has more than 13 million followers between TikTok and Instagram and 15 million on YouTube.
We appreciate the love, but also … maybe try not to have any more mugshots in the future.
