Prominent Democratic donor and LGBTQ activist Ed Buck has been
accused of running a drug den out of his West Hollywood home.

Buck was arrested Tuesday after a third man overdosed in his
home. He has been charged with three felony counts: battery
causing serious injury, administering methamphetamine, and
maintaining a drug house.

Who is Ed Buck?
Buck is perhaps best known for donating to Democratic
politicians and causes and his fervent support of LGBTQ and
animal rights.

A former model, Buck reportedly made his millions after selling
his Arizona business in his early 30s. After making his way to
Southern California, the Los Angeles Times reports that he was
the “subject of several requests for restraining orders,”
including by a psychotherapist who claimed that Buck “seemed to
want amphetamines.”

In later years, Buck ran unsuccessfully for West Hollywood City
Council in 2007 and reportedly played a prominent role in the
city’s decision to ban fur in 2011. Since 2009, Buck has donated
more than $520,000 to local, state, and federal campaigns.

Why was Buck charged?
The most recent reported overdose occurred on September 11. The
man had reportedly gone to Buck’s house a week earlier, on
September 4, at which time Buck “personally and deliberately”
administered a large dose of methamphetamine. Fearing an
overdose, the man left to get medical help, and returned on
September 11, according to officials.

That's when officials say Buck allegedly injected him once again
with a large quantity of methamphetamine, and, suffering an
overdose, the man again fled the apartment to get help. However,
this man is the third to have overdosed on methamphetamines at
Buck’s home since 2017. The other two men died.

The first man died in July 2017. The death was ruled an
accidental overdose, with prosecutors claiming there was
insufficient evidence to press charges against Buck.

The second man died in January of this year. The death was also
ruled accidental, although the autopsy report showed that he
died at least 15 minutes before 911 was called.

While Buck was not charged with the earlier overdose deaths, the
mother of one of the victims had filed a wrongful-death lawsuit
against Buck. With the new evidence from the third man's
overdose, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey
decided to "authorize the filing of criminal charges against Ed
Buck."

Prosecutors have recommended that bail be set at $4 million. In
their filing, they called Buck a “violent, dangerous sexual
predator,” claiming that he “mainly preys on men made vulnerable
by addiction and homelessness.”

“From his home, in a position of power, Buck manipulates his
victims into participating in his sexual fetishes,” they wrote.
“These fetishes include supplying and personally administering
dangerously large doses of narcotics to his victims.”

If convicted, Buck could face a maximum sentence of five years
and eight months in state prison.
