Authorities have reached an outcome on a prominent drug trafficking case relating to the death of Matthew Perry in America.
Jasveen Sangha, who is a citizen of both America and the UK and often referred to as “the Ketamine Queen”, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of supplying the ketamine that helped lead to the actor’s death.
The former Friends actor (Chandler Bing) was one of five people charged in connection with the death of this beloved celebrity, who, as a result, is no longer with us.
This case was considered to be one of the highest-profile celebrity cases of the last decade.

Attempt to Erase Evidence
After news of Perry’s death broke, the prosecutors pointed to Sangha’s actions. Court documents indicate that she sent Fleming a message shortly after learning of Perry’s death via the encrypting messaging application, Signal.
In her message, she told Fleming to “delete all of our messages”. The prosecution argued that Sangha attempted to destroy evidence and conceal the drug operation based upon the fact that she learnt of Perry’s death. This became one of the main pieces of evidence against Sangha.
Privileged Background Raised in Court
Sangha did not grow up in poverty, according to the prosecution’s witnesses during the hearing for sentencing against her, who were saying she is of Punjabi descent and was born in London with an excellent education and lots of job prospects.
She graduated from Calabasas High School and then went on to the University of California, Irvine, earning her bachelor’s degree (BA) in 2005, before receiving her MBA from Hult International Business School in 2010. Prosecutors again asserted that her crimes of trafficking were not due to financial need, but rather due to the desirability of sex, having a large amount of money, and being in a position of power.
Defence Pleaded for Leniency
The defence team for Sangha requested that the judge be lenient when rendering a sentence on his client. The defence went on to claim that Sangha had taken responsibility for her actions and had worked towards being rehabilitated during her time in custody, indicating that she has had no prior record of criminality and that she participated in recovery and sobriety programmes while in police custody.
According to the defence, Sangha has been sober for two years and has made hard, genuine efforts to improve her life. The defence requested that the judge consider that she not receive any further punishment and that she be released immediately, as the defence believes that there is very little chance of her reoffending.
Sangha Speaks Before Sentencing
The court announced a sentence for Sangha. Before the judge issued a sentence, Sangha addressed the court directly. During an emotional statement to the judge, she expressed remorse for the actions that led to the case and the impact caused by her actions. “I pray for forgiveness every day,” Sangha said to the judge.
“This case is the harshest dose of reality I have ever received.” Despite Sangha’s statement and the defence’s plea for leniency, the judge sentenced Sangha to 15 years in prison.
A Case That Shook Hollywood
Matthew Perry’s passing profoundly impacted his worldwide fan base. On and off the screen, he was known for his humour and his vulnerability, the two embodiments of his experience. He publicly shared that he had battled with substance abuse, yet he was also vocal about his recovery. The circumstances surrounding Mr Perry’s death have brought to light the underground drug distribution network that exists among elite members of society and have prompted discussions about the dangers involved with abusing ketamine, a commonly misused substance.
With the sentencing of the so-called “Queen of Ketamine”, the saga of Mr Perry’s death may have taken another turn; however, the dialogue addressing issues of substance abuse, personal responsibility, and the culture of celebrity may continue for some time to come.
