Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office
Producer and talent manager David Guillod, charged Monday with 11 counts of sexual assault, pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday as his bail was reduced to $ 1 million. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday through Zoom in a Santa María court.
Earlier Tuesday, Guillod’s attorney Philip Kent Cohen appeared before a judge to request that his client’s bail be reduced from $ 3 million to $ 1 million, a request that was granted by the judge. Guillod is posting bail, his spokesman told TheWrap, and he is expected to be released later Tuesday afternoon.
