LOS ANGELES —
U.S. prosecutors on Thursday charged political activist Ed Buck
with a deadly drug overdose at his Los Angeles-area home,
releasing a criminal complaint that detailed multiple
allegations he injected men with meth against their wishes
during sexual encounters.
The charge followed an investigation that found at least 10
alleged victims who described in salacious detail Buck's
apparent fetish to pay men to use drugs and have sex, which
often took a dark turn and led to several suspected overdoses.
Buck, 65, faces a federal charge of distributing methamphetamine
resulting in the death of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, whose naked
body was found on the floor of Buck's living room in 2017.
Even after another man, Timothy Dean, died of an overdose at
Buck's home in January, the wealthy and influential Democratic
donor continued to solicit men for sex and drug use until last
week, when another man who overdosed managed to escape as Buck
tried to stop him from leaving, authorities said.
Both men who died were black. Buck, who is white, was not
charged immediately following the deaths, and critics later
questioned if wealth, race or political ties influenced the
investigation.
U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said Buck preyed on homeless and other
vulnerable men and is a "serious threat to public safety." He
will try to have Buck held without bail.
Messages to Buck's attorney, Seymour Amster, were not
immediately returned.
Authorities said Buck used his position of power to manipulate
men into participating in sexual fantasies that involved
injecting meth.
On some occasions, someone refused to inject drugs and Buck
plunged the needle in himself, Agent John Mundell of the Drug
Enforcement Administration said in an affidavit.
The federal charge comes two days after state prosecutors
charged him with operating a drug house after the man who
escaped said he had overdosed there on Sept. 4 and again on
Sept. 11.
Buck appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on the state charges
Thursday and was held on $4 million bail. His arraignment was
postponed until next month.
Buck came under investigation in January after Dean, 55, was
found dead of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in his
apartment. In July 2017, Moore died from a methamphetamine
overdose, prosecutors said.
Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, "is relieved that Ed Buck is no
longer on the streets and free to continue harming black men,"
her lawyer, Hussain Turk, said Wednesday.
Buck has donated tens of thousands of dollars to California
candidates, including Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, and is well
known in LGBTQ political circles.
