Ed Buck, a prominent LGBT activist and Democratic Party donor
based in West Hollywood, has been charged with operating a drug
house and with providing drugs to a man who overdosed but
survived, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office
announced Tuesday.

In court filings that refer to Buck as “a violent, dangerous
predator,” prosecutors say the victim, identified only as Joe
Doe, first went to Buck’s West Hollywood residence on Sept. 4.
At that time, the filing says, Buck “personally and deliberately
administered a dangerously large dose of methamphetamine” to
Doe, who became concerned he had overdosed and left Buck’s home
to seek medical attention.

Doe returned to Buck’s residence on Sept. 11, at which time,
prosecutors say, Buck gave Doe two large doses of
methamphetamine. Doe experienced symptoms of an overdose, the
filing says, but Buck refused to provide any aid to Doe, and
attempted to prevent Doe from leaving his house to seek medical
help. Doe eventually fled, called 911 and was taken to a
hospital, prosecutors said.

The filing noted that two previous men have died while under the
influence of drugs at Buck’s home: Gemmel Moore, who was found
dead of an apparent methamphetamine overdose in July 2017 while
surrounded by paraphernalia including needles and smoking pipes;
and Timothy Dean, who was found dead in January.

Dean’s death prompted protests from members of the LGBT
community who said police were neglecting serious crimes, and
calls for further investigations from over 50 civil rights
groups. Buck, who according to the New York Times has donated
more than $116,000 to Democratic candidates and causes, formerly
served on the Stonewall Democratic Club Steering Committee, but
was kicked out after Dean’s death.

“From his home, in a position of power, Buck manipulates his
victims into participating in his sexual fetishes,” the court
filing says. “These fetishes include supplying and personally
administering dangerously large doses of narcotics to his
victims … The Defendant’s predatory acts and conscious disregard
for human life must be stopped.”

“I remain deeply concerned for the safety of people whose life
circumstances may make them more vulnerable to criminal
predators,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey
said in a statement Tuesday night. “With this new evidence, I
authorized the filing of criminal charges against Ed Buck.”

Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, did not immediately respond to
a request for comment from TheWrap.

Buck has been charged with battery causing serious injury,
administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug house; each
charge is a felony count, and he will be arraigned on Wednesday
in Los Angeles. Prosecutors are asking that bail be set at $4
million. The case is being investigated by Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department, which has jurisdiction in West Hollywood.
