Hundreds of graphic, sordid images and videos that wealthy Democratic donor Ed Buck took of men he paid to smoke or inject meth while naked inside his apartment have been shown at his trial.
Jurors have watched the footage over the past week as the 66-year-old stands trial in California for providing methamphetamine that killed two men - Gemmel Moore, 26, and Timothy Dean, 55 - 18 months apart in his West Hollywood apartment.
Buck also is charged with running a drug den in his apartment and persuading others to travel for prostitution.
Prosecutors say Buck exploited vulnerable men by paying them to come to his home, use drugs, then engage in sex play to satisfy a fetish. They argued that dozens of men had entered the 'gates of hell' when they went to Buck's apartment.
A number of witnesses testified that Buck paid them to take drugs, and get naked or dance in white underwear he bought for them during 'party and play' sessions inside the apartment.
Some have alleged that Buck sexually assaulted them while they were passed out from too many drugs.
Homicide detectives testified that they uncovered 1,500 videos from Buck's computers and phones documenting these sessions.
Some of the videos shown to jurors during the trial are so graphic that U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder told prosecutors to be wary of traumatizing the jury.
She noted, according to the LA Times, that they may have to organize therapy for jurors at the end of the trial.

Sicko
Even Bill Cosby didn’t torment his victims with a saw blade while they were incapacitated.
Crickets from the media.
It’s hard to believe how sordid and depraved this is. 1500 videos. Fifteen hundred.
This guy is not some nobody. He’s a huge Democrat fundraiser.
But radio silence. Didn’t happen. Doesn’t exist.
But made up crap is blared 24 hours.
Clearly, lesbians, homosexuals and transvestites and what are called transexuals should have no place in government or the military. The policies that used to be in place were near perfect. Hoover could dress up as a woman, and bugger his buddy IN PRIVATE. The minute their activity is public, they should be selling shoes or some other job without responsibility to our Country.
Cosby was never alleged to have injected anyone. To my knowledge the girls drank alcohol and took drugs willingly.
Not going to read, just a bump for Adam Schiffedheads best buddy,
Some things are beyond my comprehension.
