On Tuesday, Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor and a
“violent, dangerous sexual predator” according to Los Angeles
County prosecutors, was arrested and charged with three counts
of battery causing serious injury, administering
methamphetamine, and maintaining a drug house.

Since 2017, two gay black men — Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean —
have died in Buck’s West Hollywood apartment of overdoses under
suspicious circumstances. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles District
Attorney’s office said that a third man had overdosed on
September 11 in Buck’s home after he received “two dangerously
large” injections of crystal meth. (The man, whose name has not
been released, survived.) “With this new evidence, I authorized
the filing of criminal charges against Ed Buck,” Los Angeles
County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a statement on
Tuesday. Prosecutors added in court papers:

From his home, in a position of power, Buck manipulates his
victims into participating in his sexual fetishes [which]
include supplying and personally administering dangerously large
doses of narcotics to his victims … Not deterred by the
senseless deaths of Moore and Dean, the defendant nearly killed
a third victim last week.”

Prosecutors also state that Buck attempt to stifle his victim’s
attempts to get help; he eventually made it out of the apartment
on Laurel Avenue and called the authorities from a gas station.
In Buck’s home, police found hundreds of photographs of men in
what the Los Angeles Times calls “compromising positions” — a
detail consistent with allegations in a lawsuit filed by LaTisha
Nixon, the mother of Gemmel Moore, which asserts Buck kept
“revenge porn” in his home.

Moore was the first man to die in Buck’s home, overdosing in
July 2017. A 26-year-old escort, Moore wrote that Buck “gave me
my first injection of chrystal meth.” On Tuesday, prosecutors
accused Buck of preying on Angelenos struggling with
homelessness and addiction — a claim already levied by community
activists. As Amanda Arnold at the Cut noted after the death of
Timothy Dean:

Activists in the area say Buck has a history of preying on young
black man and pressuring them into partaking in dangerous drug
use. Jasmyne Cannick, a progressive Democrat who’s running for
delegate in the 53rd Assembly District and has worked with
Moore’s family, told the Cut in an email, “For two years, I have
worked to bring forth witness after witness who told authorities
about Ed Buck and how he uses the internet to stalk and prey on
young, Black gay men who are usually homeless, HIV-positive and
often work as male escorts.”

In late July 2018, prosecutors declined to file charges against
Buck, citing insufficient evidence. Less than six months later,
55-year-old Timothy Dean was found dead from a methamphetamine
overdose. “Had Buck been arrested and prosecuted in the death of
Gemmel Moore, chances are he would not have been around to
solicit and prey on vulnerable young black gay men,” Cannick
said, responding to Dean’s passing.

Buck will appear in court on Wednesday for his arraignment;
prosecutors are requesting that his bail be set at $4 million.
If convicted for all three charges, he faces over five years in
prison.
