Cameron Douglas Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking, Faces Long Prison Term
Cameron Douglas pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to selling massive amounts of crystal meth and cocaine. That is not a small-time charge.
He faces a minimum of 10 years in prison.
The clearly troubled 30-year-old was busted back in July 2009 at the swanky Hotel Gansevoort with a load of crystal meth and more than $10,000 in cash.
He was arrested after allegedly mailing 215 grams of methamphetamine to a post office box in a package sent, unknowingly, to a government informant.
Cameron Douglas' mug shot from last year.
He was tossed in the slammer after, police say, his girlfriend, Kelly Sott, tried to smuggle the dude heroin concealed in an electric toothbrush in August.
Douglas, the son of actor Michael Douglas and grandson of actor Kirk Douglas, was previously arrested in New York in 1999 for buying drugs.
He was also arrested in 2007 on cocaine possession charges.
Needless to say he won't be dealing again anytime soon.

Only a sociopath refuses to accept responsibility. To them the ends justify the means. Cameron needs to grow up, accept responsibility for his crimes, and accept his consequences. While I would not want to see Cameron made an example of due to his celebrity status, neither should he be given leniency. However, in this country, the color of justice is often green. For the sake of his victims (those he s
