During last week’s trial, it was described with dozens of graphic videos and images how Buck,66, would pay men to smoke or inject meth while naked in his West Hollywood apartment. Moments later, he would ask them to perform sexual acts in order to fulfill his fetish. He is charged for the deaths of Gemmel Moore,26, and Timothy Dean,55, after providing the men with methamphetamine that later killed them. Both men died 18 months apart from each other and Buck faces an additional charge of running a drug den and persuading individuals to travel for prostitution.
Witnesses also testified that Buck would sexually assault them while they were unconscious from the drugs and were told to wear black skull masks while smoking meth. One witness said he was given numerous drugs where it led him “in a zombie-like state so he[Buck] could do anything he wanted with me.”

Buck has pleaded not guilty to the charges since his arrest in 2019 and was known to make charitable donations to Democratic politicians since 2000 as reported by the Daily Mail.
U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder informed prosecutors to slow down with presenting the graphic content since it may traumatize jurors and she also addressed that there might have to be organized therapy sessions after the trial.
