The woman who pleaded guilty to selling Matthew Perry<\/a> a fatal batch of ketamine was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.<\/p>\n Jasveen Sangha<\/strong>, known as the “Ketamine Queen,” heard her fate \u2014 which was the maximum sentence \u2014 in a Los Angeles, Calif., courtroom on Wednesday, April 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Matthew Perry’s drug dealer was sentenced to 15 years in prison.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Sangha had previously asked the court to consider her current sobriety<\/a> and medical issues when it came to her sentence.<\/p>\n In September 2025, she plead guilty to one count<\/a> of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.<\/p>\n Sangha worked with a man named Erik Fleming<\/strong> to distribute the drugs, giving them to Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa<\/strong><\/a>, who often injected him with the ketamine. Iwamasa gave Perry at least three doses of the substance when he died at age 54 on October 28, 2023.<\/p>\n Fleming and Iwamasa are scheduled to be sentenced later this month.<\/p>\n In addition, Dr. Salvador Plasencia<\/strong> was sentenced<\/a> to 30 months behind bars in December 2025 for his part in providing the actor with ketamine. He confessed to injecting the 17 Again<\/em> star with the drug and selling it to him “without a legitimate medical purpose.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The comedic actor struggled with addiction for most of his life.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Prior to the sentencing, prosecutors requested 15 years behind bars followed by supervised release for Sangha.<\/p>\n They reasoned that Sangha, who was allegedly the “organizer” of her drug distribution ring, showed no remorse for selling the drug to the struggling Friends<\/em><\/a> alum.<\/p>\n “After learning from news reports of Perry\u2019s death, Sangha called Fleming on Signal to discuss how to distance themselves from it,” a memo read. “That day, Sangha updated the settings on the Signal apps to automatically delete her messages with Fleming. She further instructed Fleming to ‘Delete all our messages.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n MORE ON:<\/p>\n Matthew Perry<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Want OK! each day?

They said her “actions show a cold callousness and disregard for life. She chose profits over people, and her actions have caused immense pain to the victims\u2019 families and loved ones.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jasveen Sangha plead guilty to five drug distribution charges.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The actor’s stepmother, Debbie Perry<\/strong>, slammed Sangha in a victim impact statement<\/a> one day before the sentence was read.<\/p>\n “The pain you’ve caused to hundreds maybe thousands is irreversible,” she said. “There is no joy… No light in the window. They won’t be back.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Did Jasveen Sangha Plead Guilty To?<\/h2>\n
