No charges for David Guillod, Hollywood producer accused of sexual assault, DA announces
The Brief Hollywood producer David Guillod will not be charged in LA County with sexual assault. Guillod was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in October 2020. At the time of the allegations, Guillod was also facing nearly a dozen charges for similar crimes in Santa Barbara County. That case was dismissed. LOS ANGELES - More than four years after being accused of sexual assault, Hollywood producer David Guillod will not be charged in Los Angeles County, District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced on Friday. The backstory Guillod was accused in October 2020 of sexually abusing a woman in Los Angeles County during an "evening meeting." At the time, Guillod was also out on bail for sexual assault allegations in Santa Barbara County. Guillod was charged with 11 felonies for four alleged attacks between 2012 and 2015, according to the Los Angeles Times. The case was later dismissed. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: 'Atomic Blonde' producer arrested for alleged sexual Assault during meeting On Thursday, Hochman announced that Guillod would not face any charges in LA County. What they're saying In a statement released on Friday, Hochman's office said they were unable to prove the allegations, so no charges were filed. "The allegations involve deeply troubling and concerning behavior, and we empathize with the pain and trauma the accusers have experienced throughout this long investigative process," Hochman said. "Reporting sexual assault takes courage, and we recognize the strength of the women who came forward to tell their stories in this matter," Hochman said. Despite the fact that his office couldn't prove the claims, Hochman added that he hopes "the example of these women will inspire victims of sexual abuse to seek support and report abuse as soon as possible."

D.A. ‘unable' to prove sex assault, rape allegations against Hollywood producer
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Friday that it will not file charges against a Hollywood film producer who's been accused of at least 15 sex crimes over the last two decades. 'Extraction' and 'Atomic Blonde' producer David Guillod was arrested over four years ago, originally charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault involving six victims in L.A. and Santa Barbara counties, according to the L.A. Times. Since his October 2020 arrest, judges in Santa Barbara County dismissed all charges involving four of the victims, and deferred the charges involving the remaining two victims to L.A. County. The charges Guillod faced included rape, kidnap to rape, rape of a drugged victim, rape of an unconscious person, sexual penetration of an unconscious person and an intoxicated person by a foreign object, sodomy and more. The Times reported in June 2022 that a Santa Maria judge found insufficient evidence to try Guillod on charges involving four victims who accused Guillod of committing sex crimes between 2014 and 2020. However, the report said the same judge found sufficient evidence for a trial in connection with an alleged 2012 attack on 'Ted' actress Jessica Barth, and a 2018 incident with an L.A. waitress who said she was raped and sodomized. In his March 21, 2025 announcement, D.A. Nathan Hochman said his office is 'unable to prove sexual assault allegations against David Guillod beyond a reasonable doubt.' 'The allegations involve deeply troubling and concerning behavior, and we empathize with the pain and trauma the accusers have experienced throughout this long investigative process,' read Hochman's release. 'Please know that our decision in this matter does not undermine the seriousness of the allegations, but instead reflects the high legal burden our office faces in proving criminal charges beyond a reasonable doubt.' Hochman also noted that although his office will not file charges in this case, their 'hope is that the example of these women will inspire victims of sexual abuse to seek support and report abuse as soon as possible.'

Los Angeles prosecutors say no charges against movie producer David Guillod
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County district attorney said Friday that his office will not file sexual assault charges against movie producer David Guillod, more than four years after his arrest. District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement that there was insufficient evidence to prove a case against Guillod beyond a reasonable doubt. The announcement came nearly three years after a judge rejected similar charges against Guillod in Santa Barbara County. An email seeking comment from an attorney who has represented Guillod was not immediately answered. Guillod has denied all of the allegations. Guillod, a talent manager and producer whose credits include 2017's 'Atomic Blonde' and 2020's 'Extraction,' was originally arrested in 2020 and charged with rape and sexual assault involving six women between 2014 and 2020 in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties. Authorities chose to try the cases jointly in Santa Barbara County, where a judge at a 2022 preliminary hearing found that there was insufficient evidence for Guillod to go to trial on charges involving four of the women. The judge found there was enough evidence to go forward with charges that he had assaulted an actor in 2012 and a waitress in 2018, but because those were both in LA County, Santa Barbara prosecutors no longer had jurisdiction and sent the cases to the Los Angeles District Attorney. 'The allegations involve deeply troubling and concerning behavior, and we empathize with the pain and trauma the accusers have experienced throughout this long investigative process,' Hochman's statement said. Hochman's office also recently declined to file charges against Marilyn Manson after another yearslong investigation. Guillod had been among the people investigated by a task force formed by former District Attorney Jackie Lacey in 2017 to investigate sexual misconduct in Hollywood when the #MeToo movement gained national attention. The vast majority of cases they considered did not lead to charges. An exception was movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was convicted of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles in 2022. He is appealing the convictions.
