From Propagandist to Criminal 
A federal judge on Wednesday handed down a sentence of 15 years in prison to a woman who pleaded guilty to selling Friends star Matthew Perry the ketamine that killed him in 2023.
US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett gave the sentence to 42-year-old Jasveen Sangha. She became the third defendant sentenced of the five people who have pleaded guilty in connection with the overdose of the 54-year-old actor.
His role as Chandler Bing on NBC’s Friends in the 1990s and 2000s made him one of the biggest television stars of the era.

Sangha is the only one whose plea deal included an acknowledgement of causing Perry’s death.
Prosecutors had recommended a 15-year sentence. They cast her in court filings as a “Ketamine Queen” who had an elaborate drug operation catering to high-end clients to give herself a jet-setting lifestyle despite a life of privilege.

Sangha’s lawyers said in their sentencing filing that the time she has spent in jail since her August 2024 indictment should be sufficient. They pointed to her lack of a previous criminal record and exemplary behaviour as an inmate, as well as the unlikelihood she would return to a life of drug dealing.
