LOS ANGELES – A federal grand jury today returned a
superseding indictment charging Edward Buck with four additional
felonies, including that he allegedly enticed victims –
including a man who died at his West Hollywood apartment after
he administered drugs to him – to travel interstate to engage in
prostitution.

Buck, 65, was arrested in September 2019 after being
charged in United States District Court with providing
methamphetamine to a man who died after receiving the drug
intravenously. Since that time, federal authorities have
continued to investigate Buck for additional crimes.

The four additional counts charged today – bringing
the total number of charges in this case to nine counts –
include one count alleging that Buck knowingly enticed 26-year-
old Gemmel Moore to travel to the Los Angeles area to engage in
prostitution. Buck allegedly provided methamphetamine to Moore,
who overdosed on the drug and died on July 27, 2017.

Buck also is charged with another count of enticing
another man to travel with the intent of engaging in
prostitution.

The superseding indictment also charges Buck with one
count of knowingly and intentionally distributing
methamphetamine, and one count of using his residence for the
purpose of distributing narcotics such as methamphetamine, and
the sedatives gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and clonazepam.

Last year, a federal grand jury returned a five-count
indictment charging that Buck “engaged in a pattern of
soliciting men to consume drugs that Buck provided and perform
sexual acts at Buck’s apartment,” which is a practice described
as “party and play.” Buck allegedly solicited victims on social
media platforms, including a gay dating website, and used a
recruiter to scout and proposition men.

Once the men were at his apartment, Buck allegedly
prepared syringes containing methamphetamine, sometimes
personally injecting the victims with or without their consent,
according to the indictment. Buck also allegedly injected
victims with more narcotics than they expected and sometimes
injected victims while they were unconscious.

Another victim, Timothy Dean also suffered a fatal
overdose in Buck’s apartment, on January 7, 2019, the indictment
alleges.

Buck is scheduled to go to trial in this matter on
January 19, 2021. His arraignment on the first superseding
indictment is expected in the coming weeks.

An indictment contains allegations that a defendant
has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be
innocent until proven guilty in court.

Each of the charges alleging the distribution of
narcotics resulting in death carries a mandatory minimum
sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a maximum penalty of
life without parole. The four new charges carry a statutory
maximum sentence of 60 years in federal prison.

Buck also faces charges, including operating a drug
house, that were filed last year by the Los Angeles County
District Attorney’s Office. Buck is currently being held in
federal custody without bond, and the federal case is expected
to proceed first.

The federal case is being investigated by the Drug
Enforcement Administration, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department and the FBI. The investigation is being conducted
with the support of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task
Force.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorneys Chelsea C. Norell and Brittney M. Harris of the
International Narcotics, Money Laundering, and Racketeering
Section.
