Democratic megadonor Ed Buck now facing allegations of human trafficking, revenge porn

By Frank Miles | Fox News

Ed Buck, the California Democratic megadonor suspected in the deaths of two black men who suffered fatal crystal methamphetamine overdoses in his home 18 months apart, is now facing allegations of human trafficking and revenge porn, according to a new report.

The Daily Beast reported that the family of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore has made the new allegations as part of an ongoing civil case against Buck, who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidates in California and is well known in LGBTQ political circles. Moore died of a methamphetamine overdose in July 2017. He was found naked on a mattress in Buck’s living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.

The complaint by Moore's family previously alleged that Buck injected Moore with crystal meth and required Moore to view “hardcore gay male pornography which played loudly on a large flatscreen television set,” while engaging in sex acts, according to the Beast.

SECOND MAN FOUND DEAD OF OVERDOSE WITH DEMOCRATIC DONOR ED BUCK WAS NO DRUG ABUSER, FRIENDS SAY

The latest allegation from Moore's family claims that Buck “knowingly utilized interstate commerce for the purpose of recruiting, enticing and transporting” Moore from Texas to Los Angeles, for “commercial sex acts.”

The complaint claims that Buck paid for Moore’s transportation and promised to pay Moore for the rendezvous. It also said Buck distributed a sexually explicit video recording of Moore to "one of several unnamed defendants" in April of this year.

The case was originally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court but moved to federal court in May.

Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, didn’t return Fox News’ calls or emails, but told the Daily Beast that he would "reserve our comment to our court filings and we will be aggressively litigating this."

The second man who died at Buck's West Hollywood apartment, 55-year-old Timothy Dean, also suffered a methamphetamine overdose, according to a report.

Prosecutors didn’t file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Investigator Quilmes Rodriguez didn’t return Fox News’ email about the current status of the investigation.

Okay, are you trying to deflect against the Trump-Epstein connection such as the part where Epstein says his modeling agency that he used to exploit young girls was modeled after Trump's modeling agency?

There is a lively thread for that topic. Not every thread has to be twisted into a Trump thread. Take your Donnie goggles off once in awhile, for the sake of your mental health.

Wrong, Jonny. I was asking if he was deflecting. Perhaps you would have noticed that if you had read my post. Everyone knows how much he worships Trump and would rather talk about anything that would point to Trump's problems projected onto someone else.
In addition, I'd like to point out that Trump is the President and as such deserves some real attention.
Could it be that you are also enthralled with the Trump cult?

Edit:
This may not mean much to you but I feel like I paid my dues when I got shot at nearly daily in combat. I think I've earned the right to talk about whatever the hell I want. Let me know when you come back lucky to be alive.

Anyone can say whatever they want, I never said otherwise. I just find it interesting you deflect a random thread topic to Trump while simultaneously accusing someone else of deflecting.

Major Democratic donor Ed Buck arrested, charged with running drug den

By Edmund DeMarche | Fox News

LOS ANGELES-- Ed Buck, the California Democratic megadonor, was arrested Tuesday and charged with operating a drug house after a third man reportedly suffered an overdose inside his West Hollywood home last week and survived.

Buck has faced public scrutiny after two black men died from overdoses 18 months apart inside his home. He was not charged in those cases.

Buck was charged with three counts of battery and is accused of injecting the alleged third victim with methamphetamine on Sept. 11, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Prosecutors wrote in court papers obtained by the Times that Buck used his position of power to manipulate his victims into participating in his sexual fetishes.

“These fetishes include supplying and personally administering dangerously large doses of narcotics to his victims,” the prosecutors wrote, according to the Times.

Seymour Amster, Buck’s attorney, told Fox News that he would not comment on the arrest and said he is dealing with the issue. Amster has in the past defended his client and insisted that he did nothing wrong.

In July 2017, a young black man, Gemmel Moore, was found dead of a drug overdose in Buck’s apartment. Buck, who is white, was not charged.

An autopsy report said Moore, 26, died of a methamphetamine overdose. He was found naked on a mattress in the living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.

Eighteen months later, 55-year-old Timothy Dean also suffered a methamphetamine overdose. Prosecutors didn’t file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence. Activists, however, have called for his arrest.

In the most recent incident, Buck allegedly brought the man to his home earlier this month and injected him with methamphetamine. About a week later, the man returned to Buck's home and was injected again and suffered an overdose, according to court documents obtained by KTLA.

Buck is accused of thwarting the man's attempt to get help. The man fled the apartment and reportedly called for help from a nearby gas station. He survived but was treated at a hospital.

Prosecutors are reportedly seeking bail of $4 million. KABC-TV of Los Angeles reported that he faces up to five years and eight months in state prison if convicted. He is due in court Wednesday.

Clinton, Obama silent on Ed Buck donations after Dem megadonor's arrest

By Gregg Re | Fox News
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama still aren't saying what they will do with money they received from Democratic megadonor Ed Buck, even after he was charged Tuesday with running a drug house where two men died of overdoses -- and months after other top Democrats have tossed aside Buck's contributions.

Buck, 65, has donated more than $500,000 to a range of Democratic groups and politicians, including tens of thousands of dollars to California candidates such as Gov. Gavin Newsom. Buck is also well known in LGBTQ political circles.

He came under investigation in January after 55-year-old Timothy Dean was found dead of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in his apartment. It was the second such death in two years, following the July 2017 death of Gemmel Moore, 26.

The January episode prompted many Democrats to cut ties with Buck. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) told Fox News at the time it was "deeply disturbed" by Buck's alleged conduct, and quickly donated his thousands of dollars of contributions to the NALEO Education Fund.

Other politicians also distanced themselves from Buck, and vowed to get rid of his campaign contributions.

“I am deeply disturbed by the latest revelations of a second death by overdose at the home of Ed Buck,” California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu said in January, announcing plans to donate more than $18,000 in contributions to civil rights charities.

“I received a campaign contribution from Ed Buck and have donated the amount I received to a local charity, the Kenneth Young Center, to combat drug addiction,” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois also said earlier this year.

But former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama remained quiet on the subject in January -- and their spokespeople on Wednesday didn't respond to Fox News' request for comment on what they would do with their donations from Buck.

Buck donated at least $1,500 to Obama and $2,950 to Clinton, according to federal records. Obama has recently waded into the 2020 presidential race, and met this week with youth climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Even as Clinton and Obama stayed silent, The Los Angeles County Democratic Party praised Buck's arrest on Wednesday and said progressive activists deserved credit.

"For our community, a predator with a Jekyll and Hyde personality is now off the streets," the LACDP said. "And it is due to the ongoing support and pressure from many activists and community groups including Black Lives Matter, Jasmyne Cannick and more."

The LACDP told Fox News that they had not received money from Buck, and urged other Democrats to "be conscientious" on the matter.

"The LA Dems have not received money from Ed Buck in my tenure," LACPD Chair Mark J. González said in an email. "Outside our County party, I would strongly encourage Democrats to be conscientious of the contributions they receive."

Meanwhile, a black member of Congress on Wednesday called it "incomprehensible" that the wealthy gay activist has skirted punishment for so long. Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., on Wednesday specifically called Buck a predator and said authorities let him roam free even after two people died at his house.

Prosecutors say Buck used his position of power to manipulate male victims into participating in sexual fetishes that involved injecting them with meth.

In a motion Wednesday, prosecutors said Buck should be held on $4 million bail because he is a "violent, dangerous sexual predator" who offered drugs, money and shelter to mainly addicted and homeless men in exchange for participating in sexual fetishes, including a fetish that involved administering dangerous doses of drugs.

Buck "has no regard for human life," the motion said.

Messages to Buck's attorney, Seymour Amster, were not returned. Buck's attorney had said Dean came to Buck's home under the influence and didn't ingest any drugs while there.

In their bail motion, however, prosecutors specifically blamed Buck's actions for the two deaths and they alleged he personally gave a dangerous dose of methamphetamine to a man who survived an overdose earlier this month.

On Sept. 11, the man returned and Buck injected him with two more dangerous doses, refused to help him and "thwarted" his efforts to get help until the man fled the apartment and called 911 from a gas station, prosecutors alleged.

"His deadly behavior has not stopped," prosecutors contended.

Buck's "predatory acts and willful disregard for human life must be stopped before another life is lost," their motion read.

Clinton WhistleBlower: FEDS Investigating Adam Schiff’s Disturbing Behavior at Ed Buck’s Meth & Sex House
https://truepundit.com/#facebook
Embattled Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is now the target of a federal investigation focused on the Congressman’s more-than-frequent trips to Ed Buck’s ‘drug house,’ according to a Clinton Whistleblower and insider.

Buck is a high-profile, millionaire Democratic benefactor who has contributed and bundled large amounts of cash to Democrats including Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and the list goes on and on. Buck was arrested last month after a nearly-dead man escaped from Buck’s home after Buck allegedly plied him with meth.

Larry Nichols is the consumate DC insider and operator. In fact, Bill Clinton in his biography described Nichols as a dangerous man. Clinton would know because Nichols spearheaded many of Clinton’s political black-bag Ops in Arkansas and Washington D.C for the Clinton cartel and beyond before he turned whistleblower.

Nichols revealed on his weekly news show on CrowdSource the Truth that federal agents have traced Congressman Schiff at Buck’s drug mansion over a dozen times. And now they want to know what Schiff was doing there.

“(Attorney General William) Barr is looking into why Adam Schiff was at Buck’s place 16 times,” said insider Larry Nichols. “The reason Barr is obligated to look into Adam Schiff, and the fact that he was there 16 times, is because as a member of Congress if he saw at his time at Buck’s any illegal activity, he is obligated by law to report it.

“And if he didn’t report it, then he is guilty of a crime.”

Two men previously died at Buck’s mansion from drug overdoses but Buck was never charged by Los Angeles Police. Finally, Buck was charged in Sept. with running a drug house and doping up victims and then allegedly acting out his twisted sexual fantasies on the incapacitated victims, according to prosecutors.

Buck targeted homeless men, according to prosecutors.

Nichols said Schiff, like Buck, is under investigation.

Who will be the first to rat the other one out?

This story is developing.

Court Grants Landlord’s Petition to Evict Ed Buck from His Laurel Avenue Apartment
Tuesday - December 31, 2019 by Staff | 2 Comments

Ed Buck’s apartment, unit No. 17, is at the top right corner of the building at 1234 N. Laurel Ave.
Ed Buck is out.

An L.A. County District Court judge has granted a petition by the lawyer for David Shane Enterprises that will let it proceed with the eviction of Buck from his apartment at 1234 N. Laurel Ave.

Shane Enterprises filed a lawsuit 0n Oct. 3 seeking to evict Buck, citing a variety of issues including nuisance behavior, drug-related activity in Buck’s apartment, and the drug-related deaths there of two gay African-American men. Those deaths, and allegations that Buck paid other young African-American sex workers to do drugs with him at his apartment, were reported by news organizations around the world that called out his status as an affluent gay white man who was a frequent donor to Democratic Party candidates.

Buck currently is housed in the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles awaiting trial in August 2020 on federal charges of providing drugs resulting in death and three counts of distributing methamphetamine. The deaths are those of Gemmel Moore, 26, a young black sex-worker, on July 27, 2017, and Timothy Dean, 50, also black, who had worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills and was found dead in Buck’s apartment on Jan. 7 of this year.

Those deaths sparked a number of protests outside the Laurel Avenue apartment building that attracted Los Angeles television crews and reporters from publications such as the Los Angeles Times the U.K.’s Daily Mail. Buck was often inside his apartment, unit No. 17, during the demonstrations and covered his second-floor windows with bedsheets while they took place.

Ed Buck
Buck has been in the one-bedroom, rent-stabilized apartment since April 1, 1993. It is not clear what rent he was paying. While Buck has been described as wealthy, his apartment apparently was quite modest. Photos taken there by other sex workers show a nearly empty living room with a couch and a mattress on the floor.

Buck fought the eviction and was represented by Seymour Amster, the lawyer known for having represented Lonnie David Franklin Jr., better known by the nickname Dennis P. Block & Associates. Dennis Block said the next steps are getting rid of Buck’s possessions, which will be handed over to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The eviction is likely to please Buck’s neighbors, who petitioned Shane Enterprises after the Jan. 7 death of Timothy Dean. Christopher Shane responded with a letter citing the difficulty of evicting a tenant in California. “Under the law, a suspect/defendant is ‘presumed innocent until proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt.’ Attempts to evict a suspect who is presumed innocent will likely be met with a vigorous defense and retaliatory action,” he wrote. “If an action to evict is initiated, we want reasonable assurances that we will prevail.”

Democratic Donor Ed Buck Hit With Second Wrongful Death Suit
The suit says Buck preyed on Black gay men and watched them “cling to life.”
Published 2 weeks ago
Written by Zayda Rivera

• On the anniversary of his death, Timothy Dean’s family filed a civil lawsuit against Ed Buck, the white Democratic donor, who allegedly caused his overdose.
  
  The Los Angeles Times reports that the suit, filed by Joyce Jackson and Joanne Campbell, alleges that Buck “had a predatory and injurious system of soliciting black gay men and watching them cling to life while battling symptoms of methamphetamine toxicity after he intravenously administered large doses of the drug to them.”
  
  Dean, 55, was found dead of a drug overdose inside Buck’s West Hollywood home on Jan. 7, 2019.
  
  He was the second Black man in less than two years that died of an overdose at Buck’s home, after Gemmel Moore, who was found dead in the 65-year-old man’s home in July 2017.
  
  The Times reports the lawsuit accuses Buck of sexual battery, assault, hate violence, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress as well as other crimes.
  
  Moore’s family filed a separate civil lawsuit last year, also naming L.A. County and District Attorney Jackie Lacey, which is still ongoing.
  
  According to prosecutors, Buck preyed on vulnerable gay Black men who were homeless, addicted to drugs or working as escorts.
  
  The longtime donor to the Democratic Party allegedly lured them to his Laurel Avenue apartment, where he manipulated them into doing drugs for his sexual gratification, the Times reports.
  
  “The issue of sexual violence has become very salient thanks to the #MeToo movement, but one of the failures of the movement is that really only wealthy, white women are trusted when they come forward with allegations,” said Attorney Hussain Turk, who is representing the families of Dean and Moore, the Times reports. “Had the victims in this case been white or wealthy, then we firmly believe that the claims would have been taken much more seriously.”
  
  Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, told the Times that he was not aware that a civil lawsuit had been filed and he did not have an immediate comment.
  
  Turk told the Times, “The goal is holding not only Ed Buck to account, but also the county and the leaders who are supposed to be protecting everyone in Los Angeles.”
  
  BET has reached out to Turk’s office for comment.

Seems like a fair deal when you see the likes of traitors and con artists like Trump, Brannon, Stone et al get off scott free. At least Ed Buck (whoever the fuck he is) has to serve some time for his crimes. Apparently that’s the price Democrats pay for living under a minority controlled “democracy”…………the Republicans? Not so much……
