Democratic Party donor Ed Buck, who has been accused of plying men with drugs during sexual encounters, is facing new charges.

"Buck exerted power over his victims, often targeting vulnerable individuals who were destitute, homeless, and/or struggled with drug addiction, in order to exploit the relative wealth and power imbalance between them,” the initial indictment in October alleged., said via email Tuesday night that he would not comment until he sees the new indictment.Gemmel Moore, 26, died of a methamphetamine overdose July 27, 2017, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner said.

But Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, challenged officials and has said that Moore returned to his home state of Texas because he was afraid of Buck. She said her son wrote about Buck in a diary as a sexual partner who had injected him with methamphetamine in a previous encounter. Nixon said Buck purchased a plane ticket so he could return to the Los Angeles area a day before his death. The sheriff's department opened an investigation in August 2017 into Moore's death after Nixon received press inquires about her son's plight.

On Tuesday, Nixon said by email that she was pleased additional charges had been filed and that"We are looking forward to our day in court in 2021." Buck was under investigation on Jan. 7, 2019, when another man, Timothy Dean, suffered a fatal overdose in his apartment. In September, citing the case of a man who overdosed on methamphetamine that month and survived, Los Angeles County prosecutors charged Buck with"operating a drug house.
