Jasveen Sangha, a British and American national dubbed the ‘Ketamine Queen’, has agreed to plead guilty to several charges linked to the death of actor Matthew Perry. This decision makes her the fifth and final defendant to reach a plea deal, avoiding a trial that was set for September. Sangha, aged forty-two, faces five federal charges, including maintaining a drug-involved premises and three counts of distributing ketamine, as well as one count of distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
Federal prosecutors have portrayed Sangha as a prolific drug dealer, often referred to in court documents by her notorious nickname. Her upcoming hearing will formalise her change of plea to guilty, followed by the scheduling of her sentencing. If convicted, she could face up to forty-five years in prison.
Sangha’s case is part of a wider investigation that has already seen other defendants, including a physician named Salvador Plasencia, agree to plea deals. These individuals are believed to have aided in the distribution of ketamine, which is commonly used for depression treatment but can be abused as a recreational drug.
Matthew Perry, best known for his role in the television show ‘Friends’, passed away in October twenty-twenty-three at the age of fifty-four. Reports stated that he was taking ketamine six to eight times a day for mental health treatment when the tragic overdose occurred.
