   Ed Buck, the Los Angeles political activist accused of preying   
   on gay black men and forcibly injecting them with fatal doses of   
   drugs, had at least 10 victims, would drug them while they were   
   unconscious and was known locally as “Doctor Kevorkian”,   
   according to new court records.   
      
   The wealthy Democratic donor, 65, was arrested this week and   
   charged with running a drug den more than two years after 26-   
   year-old Gemmel Moore fatally overdosed in Buck’s West Hollywood   
   home. On Thursday, federal prosecutors charged him with   
   administering methamphetamine to a victim who died and released   
   new details about how he targeted men struggling with   
   homelessness and addiction.   
      
   Black LGBT activists in California have been advocating for   
   years for Buck to be brought to justice and have accused police   
   of ignoring their concerns and allowing the politically   
   connected activist to continue hurting people.   
      
   Buck’s lawyer did not immediately respond to request for comment.   
      
   Buck, whose arrest came after a third man overdosed in his home   
   this month, would offer to pay his victims for sex, force them   
   to do drugs, inject them directly, give them tranquilizers   
   without telling them and take photos of them, the complaint   
   said. Some victims were sexually assaulted while unconscious,   
   the filing suggested.   
      
   One victim said he had fallen asleep on Buck’s couch and had   
   been drugged while he was asleep, forcing him to go to the   
   hospital the next day, where staff confirmed he had ingested a   
   “tar-like substance”.   
      
   “Buck told Victim 5 that it was not gratifying for him if Victim   
   5 did not ingest methamphetamine,” the complaint said.   
      
   Another victim said he learned about Buck when he was homeless   
   and living in a park, and said he was nicknamed “Doctor   
   Kevorkian”, a reference to the pathologist known for helping   
   terminally ill patients die. This victim said it was part of   
   Buck’s “role-playing and fantasy to inject people with   
   methamphetamine” and that although the victim had never injected   
   meth before, “Buck assured him that it would be fine”.   
      
   Buck allegedly ignored this victim’s agreement to only do a   
   small dose and “emptied an entire syringe in him”. Another time   
   Buck injected this person, he immediately lost consciousness and   
   awoke to discover his anus bleeding and a third man filming him,   
   the complaint said.   
      
   Another victim said Buck injected him with a tranquilizer,   
   making him “unable to move”, adding that when Buck later wanted   
   the victim to leave his home, Buck “became frustrated and   
   obtained a power saw from a closet, turned it on, and approached   
   [the] Victim with it”. That victim eventually escaped.   
      
   In another case, Buck gave the victim what the victim thought   
   was vodka, but he fell asleep after consuming it, the complaint   
   said. This victim said he woke up to Buck injecting him with a   
   syringe and panicked because he did not use meth, but could not   
   move when he tried to get up. He also felt “excruciating pain”   
   in his anus and when he tried to remove metal clips fastened to   
   his nipples, Buck “laughed”.   
      
   This behavior continued after a second victim died in his home   
   in January of 2019, authorities said. The most recent victim,   
   who overdosed but survived, told authorities that Buck solicited   
   him for sex and distributed meth to him “nearly every day during   
   an approximately one-month period”.   
      
   The shocking details published in federal court filings did not   
   come as a surprise to local activists, who said they had   
   conducted their own investigation and interviews and connected   
   the victims to the authorities since police were failing to take   
   the threat Buck posed seriously.   
      
   “He has been allowed to do all of these things all of this   
   time,” said Nana Gyamfi, a civil rights lawyer representing   
   Moore’s family, adding that she wanted to see the Los Angeles   
   county district attorney, Jackie Lacey, file murder charges.   
      
   “I knew that this day was going to come and we were going to get   
   justice for my son,” Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon, said in a   
   statement late Thursday night, adding that all she ever wanted   
   was for the Lacey to “do her job”.   
      
   The family of Timothy Dean, the other man who died in Buck’s   
   home, said in a statement Friday that local law enforcement   
   “failed our brother and Gemmel Moore in every possible way”,   
   adding: “The evidence was there long ago before now. Mr Buck was   
   given special treatment because of his race and status and that   
   is shameful.”
