Overview
- Fleming, a former addiction counselor, received 24 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release on Wednesday from a Los Angeles court.
- He pleaded guilty in August 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution resulting in death, admitting he obtained more than 50 doses for Perry in the weeks before the actor died.
- Prosecutors said Fleming acted as the middleman to dealer Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen,” who was sentenced in April to 15 years in prison.
- The court set the two‑year term after prosecutors sought two and a half years and the defense asked for a shorter sentence that emphasized treatment.
- The prosecutions followed an autopsy that found Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, with heart disease and buprenorphine contributing, and two physicians have already been sentenced as the actor’s assistant awaits a late‑May decision.
