   Ed Buck, a Los Angeles political activist and longtime donor to   
   many prominent Democrats, was hit with a federal charge Thursday   
   in the 2017 drug overdose death of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore.   
      
   Buck, 65, was charged with distributing methamphetamine   
   resulting in Moore's death. He would face a minimum of 20 years   
   in prison if convicted.   
      
   Buck “brought Mr. Moore to L.A. with the purpose of engaging in   
   sexual activity,” U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna told reporters at a   
   news conference to announce the federal charge.   
      
   Buck was charged earlier this week with causing the overdose of   
   another man who escaped from his West Hollywood home this month.   
   The man escaped the apartment and reportedly called for help at   
   a nearby gas station.   
      
   A third man, Timothy Dean, 55, died of an overdose in Buck's   
   home this past January. Prosecutors said Buck provided drugs to   
   several men over the years after luring them to his home. They   
   described the political donor as someone who preyed on the   
   homeless and drug addicts.   
      
   In addition to the federal charge, Buck faced state charges of   
   maintaining a drug house, battery causing serious injury and   
   administering methamphetamine.   
      
   He would face just under six years in prison under the state   
   charges.   
      
   Buck's attorney did not immediately comment.   
      
   Moore and Dean were black. Buck, a gay activist who is white,   
   was not charged immediately following the deaths, and critics   
   later questioned if wealth, race or political ties influenced   
   the investigation.   
      
   Buck has donated tens of thousands of dollars to California   
   political candidates, Gov. Gavin Newsom and others, and is well   
   known in LGBTQ political circles. Some activists argued his   
   political ties and the race of the victims spared him from   
   prosecution.   
      
   "No one on the team knew Mr. Buck," Los Angeles County District   
   Attorney Jackie Lacey said. "We were not at all moved by his   
   reputation."   
      
   “Under state law, however, we determined there was insufficient   
   admissible evidence to hold Mr. Buck responsible for the deaths   
   of Mr. Moore and Mr. Dean,” Lacey added. “Ultimately, we arrived   
   at the conclusion that there were more options under federal law   
   that could carry a lengthier prison sentence.”   
      
   Moore, 26, died in 2017 at Buck's apartment after being injected   
   with methamphetamine, investigators said. He was found naked on   
   a mattress in the living room, which was littered with drug   
   paraphernalia.   
      
   His death initially was ruled an accident. Investigators   
   reopened the case after Dean died.   
      
   Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, said her son told her Buck had   
   held him in the home against his will and "shot him up with   
   drugs," Hanna said.   
      
   Buck appeared in court Thursday on the state charges and was   
   held pending $4 million bail. His arraignment was postponed   
   until Oct. 11.   
      
   He also appeared in federal court Thursday where the hearing was   
   continued until Sept. 26. Federal prosecutors asked to detain   
   him without bail.
