David Pearce, a self-identified nightlife promoter, was found guilty of two counts of murder and multiple sexual assaults. He was implicated in the deaths of Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela Cabrales Arzola, who overdosed on drugs provided by him after a night out. His actions of abandoning them at hospitals after hours without medical assistance led to the fatalities. The case prompted numerous other women to accuse Pearce of sexual assault, highlighting his predatory behavior in the nightlife scene where he lured vulnerable women under false pretenses.
"He's the guy you fear your daughter encountering while out celebrating a birthday. He's the guy you fear at a bar..." Deputy Dist. Atty. Catherine Mariano.
"Both women were dumped at hospitals about 12 to 14 hours after passing out at Pearce's apartment, leading to tragic outcomes that could potentially have been prevented."
"Prosecutors alleged he provided the drugs that caused their overdoses, then failed to get them medical attention for hours."
"News of Pearce's arrest led at least a dozen women to come forward, accusing him of sexual assault after nights of partying."
