Hollywood producer faces rape charges in Santa Barbara County after three-year investigation

{Editor's Note} The case detailed in the article below was dismissed in 2022.

According to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office, a Santa Maria-based judge found that there was not sufficient evidence to hold the defendant to answer on the counts involving the alleged Santa Barbara County victim, but did find sufficient evidence to hold him to answer to other counts connected to victims in Los Angeles County.

Due to jurisdictional limitations, the charges against David Guillod in Santa Barbara County were dismissed and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office decided not to file charges in that jurisdiction after concluding they could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt added the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office.
