   (Associated Press) Gemmel Moore had moved back home with his   
   mother in Texas two years ago and was missing Los Angeles when   
   he texted a photo of syringe in an arm to a wealthy gay man he   
   knew in California.   
      
   Ed Buck, an influential Democrat political activist more than   
   twice Moore’s age, later replied: “Be here now.”   
      
   Buck bought a plane ticket for Moore and had a car pick him up a   
   week later at the airport. By sunset, Moore, 26, would be dead   
   on a mattress on the floor of Buck’s Los Angeles-area home.   
      
   Federal prosecutors released new details Thursday as they   
   charged Buck, 65, with distributing methamphetamine resulting in   
   Moore’s death on July 27, 2017.   
      
   A criminal complaint and accompanying affidavit detailed   
   multiple allegations that Buck injected men with meth against   
   their wishes during sexual encounters.   
      
   The investigation found at least 10 alleged victims, several of   
   whom described in salacious detail Buck’s apparent fetish to pay   
   men to use drugs and have sex, which often took a dark turn and   
   led to several suspected overdoses.   
      
   Messages to Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, were not   
   immediately returned.   
      
   Even after another man, Timothy Dean, died of an overdose at   
   Buck’s home in January, the Democratic donor continued to   
   solicit men for sex and drug use until last week, when another   
   man who overdosed managed to escape as Buck tried to stop him   
   from leaving, authorities said.   
      
   Both men who died were black. Buck, who is white, was not   
   charged for more than two years after Moore’s death, and critics   
   have questioned if wealth, race or political ties influenced the   
   investigation.   
      
   Buck has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democrat   
   California candidates, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, and is well   
   known in LGBTQ political circles.   
      
   Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who is black   
   and charged Buck this week with running a drug house, rejected   
   the notion that there was any favoritism based on campaign   
   donations.   
      
   “We were not at all moved by his reputation,” Lacey said.   
      
   U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said Buck preyed on homeless and other   
   vulnerable men and is a “serious threat to public safety.”   
      
   Authorities said Buck used his position of power to manipulate   
   men into participating in sexual fantasies that involved   
   injecting meth.   
      
   Male prostitutes knew Buck’s habit for paying in cash and drugs   
   and some referred to him as Dr. Kevorkian, an apparent reference   
   to Jack Kevorkian, a doctor who went to prison for helping   
   patients end their lives.   
      
   On some occasions, when someone refused to inject drugs, Buck   
   plunged the needle in their arm himself, Agent John Mundell of   
   the Drug Enforcement Administration said in an affidavit.   
      
   A homeless prostitute recalled two occasions in 2011 when Buck   
   injected him with meth and he lost consciousness. The man,   
   identified in the affidavit as victim 6, said Buck insisted on   
   injecting prostitutes and would reject them without pay if they   
   refused, Mundell wrote.   
      
   The federal charge comes two days after the district attorney   
   brought the drug house charges in the case of the man who said   
   he escaped after overdosing there on Sept. 4 and again on Sept.   
   11.   
      
   “The surviving victim’s statements gave us the break we needed,”   
   Lacey said. “We needed someone live, willing to come to court,   
   willing to be cross-examined.”   
      
   Buck appeared in both Los Angeles Superior Court and federal   
   court Thursday but was not asked to enter a plea. The federal   
   judge set a detention hearing for Sept. 26. Buck will remain in   
   custody until then.   
      
   Buck came under investigation in January after Dean, 55, was   
   found dead of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in his   
   apartment.   
      
   Moore’s mother, LaTisha Nixon, told investigators a month after   
   her son’s death that he had once told her about Buck. Her son   
   described him as rich and powerful and said Buck held him   
   “against his will and shot him up with drugs,” the affidavit   
   said.   
      
   Nixon “is relieved that Ed Buck is no longer on the streets and   
   free to continue harming black men,” her lawyer, Hussain Turk,   
   said Wednesday.

   FACT: If Ed Buck were not the big dimm donor with big dimm   
   connections to people like Schiff & Killary, of course he would   
   have already been charged! He got sloppy and arrogant and why
