“Will had connected me with Santana and I was excited at the opportunity to film her, as I had heard great things about her.

LOS ANGELES — Ed Buck, described by the New York Times as “a small-time Democratic donor and political activist,” was convicted by a federal jury on Tuesday of nine felonies, which include providing fatal doses of methamphetamine to two men who died at his West Hollywood apartment 18 months apart; one of those men, Timothy Dean, was a retired adult performer.

As XBIZ has reported, both Dean, 55, and the second victim, Gemmel Moore, 26, were Black. Following Dean’s death, a grassroots campaign, including a petition that drew 30,000 signatures, demanded prosecutors “immediately investigate and indict” Buck.

“Activists believed that Buck’s privileged position as a prominent and wealthy white man had everything to do with [a] lack of charges filed,” noted an October 2019 Newsweek report. “The situation dramatically changed in September [2019], when Buck was finally arrested on charges related to his alleged crimes. His most recent indictment appears to be one of the last items on the list of demands that had been made by activists and supporters of the man’s alleged victims.”

According to the Department of Justice announcement, “Buck solicited his victims in various ways, including using social media platforms, dating and escort websites, or via referrals from his prior victims, including individuals he hired to do other work for him, offering a finder’s fee for referrals.”

The New York Times described the conviction as “a significant turning point in a saga that led to protests from people arguing he should have been charged sooner and accusing him of preying on gay Black men.”

The DOJ noted Buck, 66, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of life in federal prison. He is currently in federal custody.

Timothy Dean performed as “Hole Hunter” between 2007 and 2016; a story published by The Advocate in 2019 noted he was well-regarded in his community and a member of the National Gay Basketball Association and the religious organization OneLA.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — M.D. Science Lab, maker of the Swiss Navy brand, is encouraging the celebration of “Social Wellness Month” throughout July.

“While Swiss Navy’s team planned weekly video calls to stay connected over the past year, they also knew it was important to reach out to their industry family to check on their wellness,” noted a rep. “Research has found isolation can impact health and that a healthy social life can enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off infectious disease — which makes social connection key during our ongoing pandemic.”

Briana Watkins, VP of sales and marketing for M.D. Science Lab, observed that “2020 and much of 2021 were pretty tough when it came to enjoying social relationships.”

“It’s important that people have a strong network to help them manage stress. Plus, having a social support group can be helpful in maintaining a healthy life,” she said.

M.D. Science Lab’s Intimate Health Advisor Dr. Sunny Rodgers explained how “Social Wellness Month” can serve as an important reminder that healthy relationships are an important component of physical and mental wellbeing.

“Humans are not meant to be solitary. We encourage everyone to practice social wellness by making positive connections with friends, family, coworkers and neighbors,” she said.

Swiss Navy invites those who are interested in learning more about social wellness to explore an online toolkit created by the National Institutes of Health and to follow the #WellnessWednesdays social media hashtag.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Hustler celebrates nearly five decades of “porn, protest and politics” with a commemorative 47th anniversary issue that hits both digital and brick-and-mortar newsstands August 3.

The special edition features 2021 “Beaver of the Year” winner Kitty Quinn.

“Voting for Hustler’s 2022 ‘Beaver of the Year’ officially kicks off with the anniversary edition, and readers can cast their votes for the next winner through September 21,” a rep explained. “The list of 13 nominees for 2022 and ballots are available in this issue. ‘Beaver Hunt’ has been promoting and championing amateur models since 1976.”

Elsewhere in the magazine, Missy Martinez interviews “top XXX stars to find out how they spend their time when the cameras stop rolling, what they do to unwind and the hobbies and skills that keep them grounded,” said the rep. “Hustler joins fan-favorites Misha Cross, Edyn Blair, London River, Daisy Ducati and Saya Song for archery, rock climbing, aerial stunts and more.”

Additional features spotlight comedian and podcaster Kerryn Feehan and legendary Jello Biafra, who recounts his “roller-coaster of a life since crashing onto the music scene with the Dead Kennedys” as well as “becoming a label boss and his experiences as a tireless frontman and political pundit.”

In her Publisher’s Statement, Liz Flynt “reflects on the push for new ‘election integrity’ laws driven by the Right,” noted the rep. “She encourages Democrats in every state to fight back by contacting their local and state representatives and asking them to join in and help promote voter participation, not hobble it with new roadblocks like signature-matching requirements, eliminating ballot drop boxes and cutting back voting hours.”
