Overview

• Under a plea agreement, the dealer known as the 'Ketamine Queen' will admit to five counts, including ketamine distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury, with other charges to be dropped to avoid trial.
• She faces a statutory maximum of up to 65 years in prison and remains in custody, with a formal plea expected in the coming weeks and sentencing to follow in the months ahead.
• Authorities allege she sold roughly 50 to 51 ampoules to Matthew Perry via a middleman in the weeks before his death, and assistant Kenneth Iwamasa administered multiple doses on the day he died.
• The Los Angeles County medical examiner attributed Perry’s October 2023 death to acute ketamine effects and found the drug was not from his recent supervised infusion.
• Four others — including doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez, assistant Iwamasa and friend Erik Fleming — have already pleaded guilty, with sentencing hearings scheduled in the coming months.
