Democratic Donor Ed Buck Hit With 4 More Charges
Faces up to life in prison without parole

A federal grand jury returned an indictment against Ed Buck this week, charging him with four additional felonies, including that he allegedly enticed victims to travel interstate to engage in prostitution.

Buck, 65, was arrested last year after a third man overdosed at his home in California. Prosecutors said Buck injected the man, Timothy Dean, with methamphetamine three weeks in a row before the fatal overdose.

Buck was charged with operating a drug house, battery causing serious injury, and administering drugs. A grand jury later returned a five-count indictment charging him with two counts of providing meth resulting in death and three counts of distributing meth to men. Gemmel Moore, 26, was also allegedly enticed to travel to the Los Angeles area to engage in prostitution and died after being provided meth by Buck.

The four additional counts—two counts of enticing a man to travel with the intent of engaging in prostitution, one count of knowingly and intentionally distributing methamphetamine, and one count of using his residence for the purpose of distributing narcotics such as meth and sedatives like clonazepam—were part of a superseding indictment returned by a grand jury on Tuesday.

Ludlow B. Creary II, one of Buck’s lawyers, told The Epoch Times, “We maintain that our client is innocent of all charges.”

According to court filings, Buck allegedly solicited victims on social media platforms and utilized a recruiter to scout and proposition men.

Once the men were at his apartment, Buck allegedly used syringes containing meth that the men or Buck used to inject the victims, sometimes without their consent, authorities said. Buck allegedly sometimes injected victims while they were unconscious.

“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 last year when Buck was first charged.

Moore, who was found dead in July 2017, had written in his journal that Buck was “the one to thank” for his becoming addicted to drugs.

“He gave me my first injection of crystal meth, it was very painful, but after all the troubles, I became addicted,” he wrote in 2016. He later added, “If it didn’t hurt so bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.”

Buck faces up to life in prison without parole. He’s scheduled to go on trial on Jan. 19, 2021.

Mr Buck trembles in anticipation of incarceration for life with so many others of similar tastes...

It was COVID.
Fix your graph...

But did he kill himself?

he and Andrew Gillum need to get together and party

they sound like soul brothers

Cool, the day before Trump's second inauguration. It'll be a busy news week.

Aggravating as all hell, but the right to a speedy trial only applies to the accused, not "The People." On a complicated case like this, there's a lot of preparation that needs to be done by the defense. If the judge denied them the ability to prepare, a conviction would likely be overturned on appeal and a costly retrial would be the result. Based on this issue alone, it's understandable why a judge would grant the defense request(s) for continuances, even if trials weren't being delayed due to COVID-19 issues.

Everybody has to have a hobby.

I can understand California turning a blind eye to the drugs and prostitution, but this? Now that’s a serious crime and menace to society.

I wonder how many dead gerbils they found. Maybe ASPCA Could get something on him.

According to a coroner's report, Buck's apartment was full of drug paraphernalia, including 24 syringes containing brown residue, five glass pipes with white residue and burn marks, a plastic straw with possible white residue, clear plastic bags with white powdery residue and a clear plastic bag containing a piece of crystal-like substance.

Exactly. Around here, he'd have been convicted in a year and a day.

I'm more curious about the bodies that weren't found. Imagine being a trash guy on Ed Buck's block..."How many this week, Joe?"
