Overview
- Sangha admitted to five federal counts, including multiple distributions of ketamine and a charge that distribution resulted in death or serious bodily injury in connection with Perry’s October 2023 overdose.
- She remains in federal custody and is expected to formally change her plea at a forthcoming court hearing where a sentence will be scheduled.
- Federal court filings allege Sangha sold Perry large quantities of ketamine in the weeks before his death, including 25 vials for $6,000 four days before he was found dead.
- Earlier guilty pleas from Dr. Salvador Plasencia and three other co-defendants who cooperated with prosecutors were central to the government’s investigation and its remaining case against Sangha.
- The Los Angeles County medical examiner found ketamine at blood levels consistent with anesthetic doses, investigators seized large drug quantities in a 2024 DEA search, and Sangha could face reported sentencing exposure of up to 45 years in prison.
