Overview

• Dr. Salvador Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to four federal counts of distributing ketamine, exposing him to a statutory maximum of 40 years in prison.
• Court documents show Plasencia supplied Matthew Perry with 20 vials of ketamine, lozenges, and syringes and personally injected the actor on multiple occasions.
• Text messages with co-defendant Dr. Mark Chavez reveal Plasencia mocked Perry as a “moron” and sought to become his exclusive, high-priced supplier.
• Three other co-defendants—Dr. Mark Chavez, assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, and intermediary Erik Fleming—previously pleaded guilty after investigators traced the illicit ketamine network.
• Jasveen Sangha remains the only defendant to plead not guilty and is scheduled to stand trial in August on charges of supplying the fatal dose.
