, who was found guilty last year of nine felony counts, faced between 20 years and life in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

In a sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors said he lured young Black men who were often experiencing homelessness, addiction, and/or poverty to his apartment for sexually charged sessions in which he would inject them with methamphetamine and drug them with sedatives, with and without their consent.

"Buck's insatiable appetite for injecting people turned lethal twice," according to the memo, which recommends a life sentence.

"He will be a danger to the community until the day he dies," Assistant U.S. Attorney Chelsea Norell told the court.

Before he was sentenced, Buck spoke briefly to U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder, and apologized "for my part in the tragic deaths of Gemmel and Timothy."

"These are men I cared for and loved," Buck said. "I did not cause their deaths."

He asked Snyder to "look at the good in my life," saying he is not the caricature of a "meth-fueled ax killer" that the government portrayed him to be.

Snyder called the case "one of the most difficult and tragic" she has ever presided over.

"These lives mattered," she said. "What happened here was reprehensible conduct."

Yeah, they were just decades younger than him, and the stories described his fetish as involving drugging them, not what he did afterwards.
