PHOTOS: Hollywood producer, David Pearce, jailed until the year 2170 for r@ping and murd£ring two models
Disgraced Hollywood producer, David Pearce, has been jailed until 2171 after he r@ped and k!lled two models.
Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, and her model friend Christy Giles, 24, from Alabama, were plied with fatal cocktail drugs by Pearce on November 13, 2021, at his Beverly Hills home after meeting at a warehouse party a few hours earlier.
The girls were then dumped and left for dead outside different hospitals in Los Angeles by two masked men.
Pearce, 42, was found guilty in February for k!lling the two women as well as a series of brutal s£x abuses and rapes on seven Jane Does he targeted between 2007 and 2021, who later came forward to share their horrific experiences.
On Wednesday, Judge Eleanor Hunter sentenced him to 146 years behind bars for the heinous crimes. The total included the maximum sentence of 25 years to life for each murder, plus additional sentences for the r@pe victims.
‘You’re the worst kind of criminal, Mr Pearce,’ Hunter told Pearce, adding that he thought he was a hotsh0t who had ‘the whole LA vibe thing going on’ with his ‘duck lips’ and ‘slicked back hair.’
‘You’re charming, you’re smart, you’re a manipulator, and you’re extremely goal-driven.
‘You fit the role … Not once have I seen a genuine issuance of some sort of remorse. No sense of compassion for Hilda and Christie or anyone else,’ Hunter added.
Cabrales-Arzola, a Mexican native, was revived by hospital staff but a lack of oxygen had left her brain de@d.
Her mother and sister rushed to her bedside from abroad, where she remained in a coma for nearly two weeks.
She died on November 24, just five days before her 27th birthday. Giles was already dead when she was dropped off at the hospital.
During the trial, it was revealed that Pearce told a friend ‘dead girls can’t talk’ which prosecutors said indicated he wanted the girls to perish so they couldn’t report him to police.
He allegedly recruited his actor friend Brandt Osborn, 42, to help him dispose of the bodies.
But the jury failed to reach a verdict on whether Osborn, who pleaded not guilty, should be convicted on two counts of being an accessory after the fact.
The jury heard how the two men waited 11 hours before they dumped the women’s lifeless bodies outside two different hospitals and fled.
As doctors tried in vain to resuscitate the women, the two men ate a meal at El Pollo Loco.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the LAPD presented r@pe allegations against Pearce at least three times between 2007 and 2020, each with twisted similarities to his murder case.
‘The criminal justice system failed. First, the women who came forward, then those who followed, and ultimately, my sister and Christy,’ she told the Daily Mail.
‘They paid the highest possible price for a failure that never should have happened. Had the system acted when it should have, he never would have crossed paths with them.’
