Democrat mega-donor Ed Buck has been arrested and charged with three counts of battery after another man suffered an overdose at his home earlier this month.
Buck is accused of running a drug house and forcibly injecting the third known victim with methamphetamine.
The famed Hillary Clinton supporter has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent years, with two bodies being found on his property less than two years apart. The previous victims died of overdoses.

The scrutiny was seemingly not intense enough. The Daily Mail last week reported on Buck having a black male, similar in description to the previous victims, visiting his apartment.
“The 65-year-old West Hollywood-based Hillary Clinton donor is still being visited by young black men, even after being accused of being involved in two drug overdose deaths in his apartment,” they wrote.
In July of 2018, Los Angeles based writer, Jasmyne Cannick, warned that Buck was a “serial predator.”

In 2017, Gemmel Moore was found dead in Buck’s home, the result of a methamphetamine overdose. He was allegedly flown to Buck’s apartment and ordered to perform sex work for the Democrat player.
LaTisha Nixon, Moore’s mother, said Moore had a friend who told her Buck “had a kinky fetish for young African-American men.”

Moore’s death was originally ruled an accident, though the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office would later re-open it after finding writings in his diary implicating Buck in his drug use.
The writing very explicitly named Buck as the person forcing him to take drugs and even seemed to suggest Moore wanted to kill himself but knew Buck would do it eventually.
“If it didn’t hurt so bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now,” Moore wrote regarding the drug use which he pinned on the Democrat donor in previous entries.

Another body was found in Buck’s home roughly 18 months later, sparking protests throughout the community.

The second body would be identified as 55-year-old Timothy Dean. Buck’s lawyer claimed Dean was already exhibiting erratic behavior when he came to the apartment.
The pattern seems to suggest he may have contributed to any erratic behavior through drug use.
Buck has donated well over $500,000 to a host of prominent Democrats, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former president Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Los Angeles Times describes him as an “LGBTQ political activist,” which is an odd title for someone who keeps having the bodies of gay men show up in his home.
If convicted on these new charges, Buck could face up to five years and eight months in state prison.
