Democratic Party donor Ed Buck, who has been accused of plying
men with drugs during sexual encounters, is facing new charges.

Prosecutors say Buck solicited men to consume drugs and perform
sexual acts at his West Hollywood apartment. Once there,
officials say, he allegedly injected the men with or without
their consent. He sometimes injected victims while they were
unconscious, according to prosecutors.

Buck was previously charged with distributing methamphetamine
that led to the overdose deaths of two men at his apartment. He
pleaded not guilty to those charges last year.

On Tuesday, a grand jury returned new counts against the 65-year-
old including allegations of luring men across state lines for
the purpose of prostitution.

Buck is accused of distributing narcotics gamma hydroxybutyric
acid and clonazepam, sedatives that the DEA has described as
date-rape drugs.

The four felony charges introduced Tuesday are in addition to
five counts filed last year, including distribution of
methamphetamine and distribution of narcotics resulting in death.

The grand jury folded all nine counts against Buck, who is being
held in federal custody without bond, into one filing as a
"superseding indictment" Tuesday, according to the U.S.
Attorney's office in Los Angeles.

"Buck exerted power over his victims, often targeting vulnerable
individuals who were destitute, homeless, and/or struggled with
drug addiction, in order to exploit the relative wealth and
power imbalance between them,” the initial indictment in October
alleged.

Buck's attorney, Christopher Darden, said via email Tuesday
night that he would not comment until he sees the new indictment.

Gemmel Moore, 26, died of a methamphetamine overdose July 27,
2017, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner said. The
cause was initially described as accidental, and the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department said there was nothing to investigate.

“There isn't anything suspicious about it,” Lt. Edward Ramirez
said at the time. "There's nothing pointing toward death at the
hands of another, so it's not something we would do any follow-
up on."

But Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, challenged officials and has
said that Moore returned to his home state of Texas because he
was afraid of Buck. She said her son wrote about Buck in a diary
as a sexual partner who had injected him with methamphetamine in
a previous encounter.

Nixon said Buck purchased a plane ticket so he could return to
the Los Angeles area a day before his death. The sheriff's
department opened an investigation in August 2017 into Moore's
death after Nixon received press inquires about her son's plight.

On Tuesday, Nixon said by email that she was pleased additional
charges had been filed and that "We are looking forward to our
day in court in 2021."

Buck was under investigation on Jan. 7, 2019, when another man,
Timothy Dean, suffered a fatal overdose in his apartment. In
September, citing the case of a man who overdosed on
methamphetamine that month and survived, Los Angeles County
prosecutors charged Buck with "operating a drug house."

overdose at West Hollywood apartment

The families of both deceased men have filed civil claims
against Buck.

Federal election records show that Buck, who has advocated for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues for decades, has
donated more than $50,000 to Democratic candidates and to the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee since 2008.

He has posed for photos with Hillary Clinton and former
California Gov. Jerry Brown.

Several Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, and former
state Senator Kevin de Leon, have returned Buck's campaign
donations.

The four new counts each carry maximum sentences of 60 years,
the U.S. Attorney's office said.
