Ketamine queen Jasveen Sangha pleads guilty in devastating case that links her deadly drug trade to the tragic death of Matthew Perry

The glamorous “Ketamine Queen” drug dealer who supplied the fatal dose that killed “Friends” star Matthew Perry has accepted a guilty plea to numerous federal charges connected to the actor’s death.

Jasveen Sangha, 42, agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distributing ketamine, and one for the distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced Monday.

Sangha is expected to submit a formal plea in the coming weeks.

She faces up to 45 years in prison across all charges, though it is unclear if her terms would be served consecutively or concurrently.

Sangha, a dual citizen of the US and the United Kingdom, admitted to dealing party drugs like ketamine and MDMA, along with other drugs like Xanax and cocaine out of her North Hollywood home.

She has been behind bars since August 2024 after being arrested just more than a year after Perry’s death.

The 54-year-old was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28, 2023, and ketamine was the primary cause of death, according to the medical examiner.

Prosecutors said Sangha provided him with dozens of doses of the dangerous drugs despite his struggle with addiction being widely covered in the media for years.

Then, when Perry died, Sangha and a man she was dealing with — 55-year-old Erik Fleming — took steps to distance themselves from Perry, and even tried to blame his assistant for the death.

“I’m 90% sure everyone is protected. I never dealt with [Perry]. Only his Assistant. So the Assistant was the enabler,” Flemming told Sangha in a voicemail as the two spoke back and forth about scrubbing their connections to Perry, according to prosecutors.

Sangha also admitted to supplying ketamine to a man who died of an overdose hours later in August 2019. She was previously accused of selling meth out of her home, with the dealing beginning sometime around June 2019.

Neighbors said something suspicious always appeared to be up at her home, with people describing shady characters with suitcases constantly coming and going at late hours.

Perry’s death saw four other people hit with serious drug charges, including 55-year-old San Diego physician Mark Chavez, who pleaded guilty in October 2024 to conspiring to distribute ketamine. He could be sent to jail for 10 years at his September sentencing.

Fleming pleaded guilty in August 2024 to ketamine dealing charges and faces up to 25 years in prison when sentenced in November.

Perry’s assistant, 60-year-old Kenneth Iwamasa, injected the actor with the fatal dose of ketamine and also pleaded guilty in August 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death. He faces up to 15 years in prison at his November sentencing.

And Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty to four counts of ketamine distribution in July. He could go to prison for 10 years per count when sentenced in December.
