Hunter Biden’s prostitute has been charged with manslaughter over the death of her fellow prison inmate.
Cheryl Ann Deboves is closely tied to Hunter Biden’s well-documented drug- and sex-fueled past.
Deboves has now been arraigned on involuntary manslaughter and drug possession charges over a tragic and deadly incident involving heroin smuggled into a Nevada jail.
The case raises new questions about the lifestyle and connections of the former president’s son.
It also highlights the two-tiered justice system, seemingly protecting the powerful while others in their orbit face devastating consequences.
Deboves, a woman frequently appearing in explicit footage and drug transactions on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, was charged with involuntary manslaughter after smuggling heroin into the Mesquite City Jail.
The heroin led to the overdose and death of fellow inmate Barbara Howell.
Howell was a mother of three who was reportedly trying to turn her life around, according to court documents.
Deboves pleaded guilty in April to possessing a controlled substance as an inmate.
She now faces between 12 and 30 months in prison.
But for Howell’s grieving mother, that sentence isn’t nearly enough.
“The jail is taking no responsibility,” said Anita Eibert.
“I need help getting justice for my daughter.”
Court documents say Deboves admitted she had originally planned to bring in the drugs and was fully aware of the risks.
She learned how to make the drop and evade detection despite being a registered sex offender with a lengthy criminal record tied to drugs and prostitution.
Deboves’ name became widely known through Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The “Laptop from Hell” contains footage and texts depicting orgies, drug purchases, and disturbing power dynamics.
Messages reveal Biden repeatedly paying Deboves for sex, enlisting her to procure drugs, and ignoring her cries for help when she was threatened by dealers.
Yet, despite ignoring her cries for help, he would later message her for sexual favors via FaceTime.
In one message, she begged him for help:
“Can you please help me? Like he scares me a lot. I hate it when men threaten women.”
Biden did not respond.
Shortly after, however, he asked for a nude video chat without mentioning the pleas for help.
While Deboves now serves time for her role in Howell’s death, Hunter Biden remains shielded from serious criminal consequences, despite his alleged involvement in multiple shady business dealings and the reckless, predatory behavior shown in his digital trail.
In 2022, Deboves received a federal Covid bailout check under the guise of owning a “female-owned sole proprietorship” in the “independent performers” category — a case study in how pandemic aid programs were riddled with fraud, especially among known offenders.
The story also shines a light on the broader pattern of individuals linked to Hunter Biden suffering dramatically different fates than the president’s son himself.
Several of Hunter’s business partners — including Ye Jianming, Ho Chi Ping, Jason Galanis, and Devon Archer — have either vanished, been imprisoned, or faced prosecution.
Hunter, by contrast, wrote in his memoir that his “chaotic addictions disappeared” upon meeting a woman he married just days after meeting her.
Critics have called this narrative convenient and self-serving.
Archer, who was sentenced to prison in a tribal bond scheme, was later pardoned by President Donald Trump.
It came after Archer testified that Joe Biden had personally joined calls with Hunter’s foreign business partners.
This revelation directly contradicts the former president’s repeated denials of involvement in his son’s dealings.
As federal prosecutors continue their investigations into Hunter Biden, stories like Deboves’ expose the wreckage left behind — people exploited, destroyed, and in some cases, left to die while the politically connected walk free.
