Matthew Perry's Stepmother Says 'Ketamine Queen' Should Get Maximum Sentence
Debbie Perry says Sangha should receive the maximum penalty as prosecutors seek 15 years and cite her role in two fatal ketamine sales.
In a California court today, Wednesday, April 8, Jasveen Sangha faces sentencing for supplying the ketamine that killed Matthew Perry, a dealer prosecutors dubbed the "Ketamine Queen."
On Tuesday, Debbie Perry submitted a victim impact statement urging the maximum sentence, writing, "Please give this heartless woman the maximum prison sentence so she won't be able to hurt other families like ours."
Sangha's guilty plea also acknowledges a separate 2019 fatal overdose involving 33-year-old Cody McLaury, who died hours after purchasing ketamine from her.
Prosecutors are requesting a 15-year prison sentence followed by three years of supervised release, though Sangha could face over six decades in prison total.
The investigation uncovered a ring of suppliers, including medical doctors, who profited from Perry's addiction before his death in Oct 2023, exposing systemic exploitation of his decades-long substance struggle.
