Lesbian activist Jasmyne Cannick has published photos of pages from Gemmel Moore’s journal, which his family recently retrieved from the Sheriff’s Department, that describe a drug using relationship between him and Buck.
“My mind and action change. I am not the same person I was born to be,” Moore wrote in his journal.
“I felt as if I sold my soul to the devil — I want to be back in the hands of God.
I want to be healed from drugs, poverty and troubles.
I want independence.
I want my own.
There’s so much madness going on in my life.
It’s got to be illegal and wrong.
The way I was raised to be, you would never expect this.
“I just hope the end result isn’t death.
Someone needs to save me soon.
The only person in my corner is the person who turned me this way, the way I feel right now.
Honestly, I don’t care to live anymore.
I do wanna die.
I feel like I’ve done way too much that this lifetime allows.
If it didn’t hurt so bad I’d kill myself but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.
Dec. 3, 2016, I miss my grandma.”
On another page Moore explicitly called out his drug use as a problem.
“Something is seriously wrong with me and my body.
I don’t feel normal.
I honestly think it has to do with the injection of drugs.
It makes me feel horrible like I’m so tired of living this life.”

WEHOville reached out to Ed Buck for a response to the allegations against him. However, he has not responded to that request.
