The popular movies Atomic Blonde, Extraction, and The Intruder are action-packed thrillers
involving heroes and villains who manage to survive death-defying escapades in pursuit of their
objectives without regard for any genuine issues of morality or ethics.
That cinematic fiction of an action-packed life with erotic undertones wherein actual
consequences never seem to befall protagonists may have been taken a bit too seriously by the
man behind such films, 53-year-old movie producer and Los Angeles resident David Guillod.
According to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Raquel Zick,
an extensive investigation by Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department investigators that
began in 2015 came to fruition on June 22nd when Guillod “turned himself in” to SBSD
detectives to face “11 felony charges including rape, kidnapping to commit rape, and rape of a
drugged victim.”
While Guillod is a resident of Los Angeles County, one of the charges involves the alleged rape
of a 23-year-old woman on December 14, 2014 in Santa Barbara County. Given that, SBSD
detectives served him with an arrest warrant on charges which carry “a potential sentence of
21 years-to-life in prison” and would require Guillod to register as a sex offender.
Guillod was taken into custody on June 22nd and transported to Santa Barbara County Jail,
where he was booked and released the following day upon posting of $1,000,000 bail.
