Overview
- Jasveen Sangha appears in Los Angeles federal court Wednesday for sentencing after pleading guilty to five counts tied to Matthew Perry’s 2023 ketamine death, with prosecutors seeking 15 years and her lawyers asking for time served.
- Debbie Perry, the actor’s stepmother, filed a victim impact statement Tuesday urging the maximum sentence and describing the family’s pain as irreversible.
- Prosecutors say Sangha supplied 51 vials of ketamine through middleman Erik Fleming to Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected the actor with at least three shots on October 28, 2023, causing his death.
- Court filings portray Sangha as running a North Hollywood drug operation and instructing Fleming to “delete all our messages” after news of Perry’s death, and a raid later found multiple drugs, cash, and trafficking tools in her home.
- Two doctors in the network have already been sentenced, while Fleming and Iwamasa are due in court later this month, and prosecutors also asked the judge to weigh Sangha’s 2019 sale to Cody McLaury, who died hours after buying ketamine.
