David Brian Pearce, a Los Angeles man who lured women into his orbit by claiming he was a Hollywood producer, was sentenced Wednesday to 146 years to life for the fatal overdose of a model and her friend, as well as the sexual assaults of multiple women over 16 years.

Pearce, 43, was convicted in February on two counts of first-degree murder in the overdose deaths of 24-year-old model Christy Giles and 26-year-old Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola.

Prosecutors said the pair died in November 2021 after meeting the self-proclaimed entertainment hotshot at a warehouse party in East Los Angeles. A few hours later, they accompanied Pearce back to his Beverly Hills home, where they were served a fatal cocktail of fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs.
