Overview
- Sangha, who is set to be sentenced Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court, pleaded guilty to maintaining a drug premises and to multiple ketamine distribution counts, including one tied to death or serious injury.
- Matthew Perry’s stepmother, Debbie Perry, filed a victim impact statement that asks the judge for the maximum sentence and describes the family’s pain as irreversible.
- Prosecutors say Sangha worked with middleman Erik Fleming to sell 51 vials of ketamine to Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected Perry repeatedly and gave at least three shots on Oct. 28, 2023 that killed him.
- Investigators who raided Sangha’s North Hollywood home reported finding methamphetamine, ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, counterfeit Xanax pills, a money counter, a scale, and devices to detect wireless signals and hidden cameras.
- Five people were charged in the case, with two doctors already punished—Dr. Salvador Plasencia got 30 months in prison and Dr. Mark Chavez received home confinement—while Fleming and Iwamasa are due to be sentenced later this month.
