Overview

  • Plasencia entered guilty pleas on July 23 to four federal counts of distributing ketamine to Matthew Perry during an autumn 2023 relapse.
  • Prosecutors say he organized delivery of twenty vials over fifteen days and profited by reselling the doses at steep mark-ups.
  • He could receive up to 40 years in prison under a sentencing schedule set by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
  • Dr. Mark Chavez pleaded guilty in October 2024 to illegally contributing to Perry’s ketamine supply and faces a maximum of 10 years behind bars.
  • Jasveen Sangha, known in Hollywood as the “ketamine queen,” maintains a not guilty plea and confronts a potential life sentence for selling the fatal vial.
