David Pearce
David Pearce and Brandt Osborne are two men accused of sexual assault. Both men are being held without bail on a total of four separate charges dating back to 2010. Pearce is facing four separate charges spanning the years 2010 and 2020, and Osborn is facing three separate charges. The district attorney’s office and Pearce’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment.
The charges against Pearce include multiple counts of rape, drug charges, and two counts of murder. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Meanwhile, Osborn faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison. He also faces charges of aiding and harboring Pearce. Both are expected to enter not guilty pleas.
The case against Pearce and Osborn is still under investigation, but the investigation into their case continues. Both men have already been arrested on other unrelated charges. David Brian Pearce was already awaiting trial on charges of sexual assault against seven other women. Brandt Osborn was also arrested, but he didn’t have an attorney at the time.
In January, LAPD detectives obtained a search warrant and seized dozens of electronic devices in the apartment of Osborn and Pearce. These devices may have evidence of what happened inside the apartment. The two men were in a group that had met at a rave in East Los Angeles. Pearce had text messages asking for cocaine.
The neighbor who lives in the apartment next to the victims heard the sounds of pain and moaning from the upstairs apartment. He was also reportedly carrying Giles’ body. Pearce and Osborn then left the apartment with the bodies of Giles and Cabrales-Arzola. The masked men, who had reportedly been driving a Toyota Prius with no license plate, dropped Giles and Cabrales off at the hospital.
The case has already become very high-profile. Pearce is an actor and a wannabe director who is friends with many celebrities. His friends include porn star Ron Jeremy, who has been arrested for more than 30 counts of sexual assault.
Michael Ansbach
Two Staten Island residents have been charged in the deaths of two young women. Christy Giles was an architect and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola was a model. The bodies of the two women were found outside a hospital in 2022. David Pearce and Brandt Osborn have been charged with their murders, along with Hilda’s, and Michael Ansbach was arrested at the same time. Both of the men have since been released from jail.
Osborn was born in Staten Island and graduated from Curtis High School in 1988. While in high school, he performed with the Curtis Players and worked as a print model for several illustration companies. He then went on to earn his degree in communications from SUNY Albany and the College of Staten Island. He has three acting credits listed on his IMDb page. He currently lives in Los Angeles and previously lived in Manhattan and Great Kills.
The men were arrested at about 12:30pm on the same day. Their bail was set at $100,000. The two were arrested at their Los Angeles apartments on Wednesday, and the LAPD has since enlisted the help of the FBI. The investigation into the deaths continues. Authorities are investigating whether the men may have been acting in the crimes.
The men were arrested at a Hollywood location on Wednesday, December 15, and are now being held on suspicion of manslaughter. Their arrests come after Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola were killed in November by masked men. Despite their alleged role in the deaths of the two women, they remain on bail.
The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office declined to charge the men with the murders, and has referred the case to the detectives. Pearce, however, is still in jail due to unrelated charges. Despite the arrests, he has appeared on several television shows, including Vanderpump Rules and Dancing With the Stars. His lawyer, Jacob Glucksman, did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Pearce and Osborn met at a warehouse party in East Los Angeles. The two men spent the night together and later went to the same apartment. They believed they were roommates. Cabrales-Arzola and Giles were both found with heroin in their systems.
