Dealer Known as ‘Ketamine Queen' to Plead Guilty in Matthew Perry Case, Prosecutors Say
A Los Angeles woman who prosecutors say illegally sold the ketamine that killed the actor Matthew Perry has agreed to plead guilty, federal prosecutors said on Monday. The woman, Jasveen Sangha, could face up to 65 years in prison on five federal charges connected with Mr. Perry's overdose. Prosecutors say she has agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Ms. Sangha, 42, who prosecutors said had been known to customers as the 'Ketamine Queen,' had been scheduled to go to trial on Sept. 23. Her lawyer, Mark Geragos, had previously denied the allegations against Ms. Sangha, saying in a documentary released this year that she 'never met Matthew Perry' and 'had nothing to do with Matthew Perry.' A dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom, Ms. Sangha has been in federal custody since August 2024. She is expected to formally enter a guilty plea in the coming weeks, prosecutors said. Mr. Perry was found floating face down in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28, 2023. The Los Angeles County medical examiner's office eventually determined he had died of the 'acute effects of ketamine,' a powerful anesthetic that has become increasingly popular as a therapy for depression and is also used as a recreational drug. The actor, known for his role as Chandler Bing on the 1990s sitcom 'Friends,' had written openly about his struggles with addiction in a memoir. Over the past year, as federal prosecutors laid out their case against several people they charged with providing the ketamine that killed Mr. Perry, Ms. Sangha emerged as a figure of particular intrigue. (The other four people involved — including a doctor who had been scheduled to go to trial alongside Ms. Sangha — have all agreed to plead guilty for their roles in Mr. Perry's death.)

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling fatal dose to Matthew Perry agrees to plead guilty
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman known as the 'Ketamine Queen,' charged with selling Matthew Perry the drug that killed him, agreed to plead guilty Monday. Jasveen Sangha becomes the fifth and final defendant charged in the overdose death of the 'Friends' star to strike a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. Having initially pleaded not guilty, her change of plea means she'll avoid a trial that had been planned for August. Prosecutors had cast Sangha as a prolific drug dealer who was known to her customers as the 'Ketamine Queen,' using the term often in press releases and court documents and even including it in the official name of the case. A federal indictment charged Sangha with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine. Sangha will officially change her plea to guilty at an upcoming hearing, where sentencing will be scheduled, prosecutors said. She could get up to 45 years in prison. An email sent to Sangha's lawyers seeking comment was not immediately answered. She and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who signed his own plea deal June 16, had been the primary targets of the investigation. Three other defendants — Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming — agreed to plead guilty last year in exchange for their cooperation, which included statements implicating Sangha and Plasencia. Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home by Iwamasa, his assistant, on Oct. 28, 2023. The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death. The actor had been using the drug through his regular doctor as a legal, but off-label, treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Perry, 54, sought more ketamine than his doctor would give him. He began getting it from Plasencia about a month before his death, then started getting still more from Sangha about two weeks before his death, prosecutors said. Perry and Iwamasa found Sangha through Perry's friend Fleming. In their plea agreements, both men described the subsequent deals in detail. Fleming messaged Iwamasa saying Sangha's ketamine was 'unmarked but it's amazing,' according to court documents. Fleming texted Iwamasa that she only deals 'with high end and celebs. If it were not great stuff she'd lose her business.' With the two men acting as middlemen, Perry bought large amounts of ketamine from Sangha, including 25 vials for $6,000 in cash four days before his death. That purchase included the doses that killed Perry, prosecutors said. On the day of Perry's death, Sangha told Fleming they should delete all the messages they had sent each other, according to her indictment. Her home in North Hollywood, California, was raided in March 2024 by Drug Enforcement Administration agents who found large amounts of methamphetamines and ketamine, according to an affidavit from an agent. She was indicted that June, arrested that August and has been held in jail since. None of the defendants has yet been sentenced. Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on 'Friends,' when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing. He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBC's megahit series.

San Jose Police Officer Files Lawsuit After Suffering Gunshot Wound in Line of Duty
Officer Erin Allen, represented by attorney Mark Peacock of Peacock Law Group, has filed a lawsuit against the apartment complex where she was shot San Jose Police Officer Erin Allen filed a civil lawsuit after she suffered a gunshot wound to her abdomen after she and her partner responded to a domestic violence call. On August 16, 2023, Officer Erin Allen and her partner responded to a domestic violence call at a condo-complex in the City of San Jose. What they did not know was an armed recidivist criminal and convicted felon was lying in wait and would ultimately ambush them. Recidivist criminal and convicted felon Gabriel Mario Carreras shot Officer Allen in the abdomen outside of her bulletproof vest. Her partner dragged her to safety before she was rushed to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center where she was hospitalized in critical condition. Carreras was later found guilty of attempted murder for his actions as well as two counts of shooting in an inhabited dwelling, misdemeanor assault, and several other crimes. His crimes were so severe that he received sentencing enhancements for his use of a gun. Carreras' wife had called police initially because she said he was attacking her and trying to force her to get an abortion. After police arrived and Carreras opened fire, a four-hour standoff ensued. Thankfully no one was killed, but Officer Allen's life would never be the same. As a result of the gunshot wound, she suffered injuries to her intestine, colon, liver, and gallbladder, as well as a spinal fracture and severed ureter, which had to be repaired with a stent. She spent nine weeks in the hospital, undergoing approximately six major surgeries. Mark Peacock of Peacock Law Group has filed the lawsuit on behalf of Officer Allen and her husband alleging the owners of the condo complex, Anthony W. Lee, Patricia Reiko Ikeda and the Lee and Ikeda Family Trust were negligent in managing their premises. 'Officer Allen deserved better,' said attorney Mark Peacock. 'Officer Erin Allen was ambushed and nearly killed in an act of calculated violence carried out by a convicted criminal — but the blame does not stop with the shooter. The owners of the condominium where this attack took place must be held fully accountable for their failure to act, their failure to secure the property, and their reckless disregard for the safety of others. Their negligence created the conditions that allowed a violent offender to carry out this heinous act. Officer Allen was fulfilling her sworn duty to protect the public — and she was met with a trap. We will not rest until every responsible party is brought to justice. Anything less would be an insult to her sacrifice and to the oath she took to serve.' 'This tragedy was preventable. The property owners created and allowed dangerous conditions that turned these condos into a haven for violence. By ignoring basic safety and security measures, they put every resident — and ultimately Officer Erin Allen — in harm's way. Landlords have a duty to protect their tenants and the public, and when they fail, they must be held accountable,' said attorney Paul Goyette. The case is Erin Allen v. Anthony W. Lee, Patricia Reiko Ikeda, the Lee and Ikeda Family Trust, Maricela Vazquez Contreras, Santa Clara Superior Court, Case No. 25CV472076. About Peacock Law Group, a.p.c.
