A Hollywood actor linked to the fatal overdoses of model Christy Giles, 24, and her friend — whose bodies were dumped outside LA hospitals — was sentenced to probation and community service Monday.
Brandt Osborn, 46, who was arrested on the set of “NCIS: Los Angeles” in 2021, pleaded to two counts of accessory after the fact and was sentenced to two years of probation and 480 hours of community service, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Brandt Osborn was sentenced to probation and community service in connection to the deaths of Christy Giles, 24, and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26.
The actor’s friend, a Hollywood producer and club promoter, David Pearce, 43, was convicted of first degree murder for the deaths of Giles and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, an interior designer, in February.

Their friend Hollywood cinematographer, Michael Ansbach, who has worked on “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Punk’d,” was also arrested in connection to the deaths but was never charged with a crime.
Giles told her husband, Jan Cilliers, that she and Cabrales-Arzola were headed to a rave at a warehouse in East Los Angeles the night of Nov. 13, 2021.
That’s where the women met Osborn, Pearce and Ansbach before heading back to Pearce’s Beverly Hills apartment, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.
Pearce then gave the women fentanyl and GHB which resulted in their overdosing, the DA said.

Just thirty minutes after the women arrived, Cabrales-Arzola called an Uber but they never got into the car.
About eleven hours later Giles body was dumped lifeless outside a Culver City hospital. Two hours later Cabrales-Arzola was left outside a different LA county hospital. She was taken off life support eleven days later, just one day before her 27th birthday.
Fellow actor, David Murrietta Jr., 39, said Osborn told him about the “craziest weekend” of his life, while they worked on the set of a shoot in November 2021.
“He told me how they’d partied, two girls came back to their place, and the girls had a bunch of drugs,” Murrietta told The Post.
Osborn said he left his apartment to run an errand and when he returned Pearce told him Giles was dead.
“He checked her pulse, freaked out, decided not to call 911, Murrietta told The Post.

When they returned, they discovered that Cabrales-Arzola’s pulse was very faint. They then “got her in the car and decided to drop her off at a second hospital so they didn’t get caught,” Murrietta said.
Osborn was in Pearce’s Toyota Prius when the women were dropped at the Los Angeles hospitals, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
“The punishment for what he did was extremely light,” said Dusty Giles, the victim’s mother.
“Brandt Osborn did what David Pearce told him to do. He said ‘dead girls don’t talk, and I already have two priors’,” Giles told The Post.
Giles said Osborn was complacent in waiting for the girls to die and could have went to a store to get Narcan, but instead he aided in their disposal.

“Instead of being a man and making his own decisions, Brandt Osborn decided to back his roommates play when it came to these two women’s lives. He made that decision,” Giles said.
Giles said that Osborn showed no remorse for her daughter’s death because he continued to live with Pearce after the fatal overdoses.
“David is a puppeteer and Brandt was another puppet on his string too, doing everything he said to do,” Giles said. “The only thing we are thankful for is that he will be a felon for what he did,” she added.
Osborn will be serving his sentence with an ankle bracelet from another state, according to Giles.
“I know my family and Hilda’s family’s was not happy with the plea deal. We wanted jail time,” Giles said.
“Osborn’s sentence was an agreed upon disposition that took into account the facts and circumstances of Osborn’s conduct, the jury’s inability to reach a verdict against Osborn at trial, and to avoid subjecting the victims’ families to another jury trial,” the DA told The Post.
Osborn’s IMDb page shows three acting credits, including an appearance on a 2014 episode of “Nurse Jackie,” which stars Edie Falco.
Pearce has committed numerous drug-facilitated sexual assaults against women, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Seven victims testified to Pearce’s sexual depravity and violent tendencies at trial.
Pearce was sentenced to 146 years to life in state prison.
