According to a U.S. Justice Department press release, Buck was sentenced to 360 months imprisonment by a federal judge.

At trial, the prosecution claimed that Buck, a wealthy political donor, targeted vulnerable homeless men who were drug dependent or other types of addicts for “party and play” sessions. Buck didn’t testify at his trial in his defense.

He was found guilty on two counts for distribution methamphetamine leading to death and four counts for distribution methamphetamine. There were also two charges of maintaining drug-involved premises. Two counts of inducing travel in interstate commerce in prostitution.
