Shocking Plea Deals Revealed: Matthew Perry’s Assistant and Drug Brokers Face Justice

In a dramatic twist to the investigation into Matthew Perry’s tragic death, two key figures have struck plea deals, revealing disturbing details about the underground network that supplied the actor with the fatal drug.

Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's assistant, and Erik Fleming, implicated as a broker in the drug deals, have both pled guilty to charges related to the distribution of ketamine. Iwamasa admitted to conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death and serious bodily injury, while Fleming pled guilty to both conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of the drug resulting in death and serious bodily injury.

Under their plea agreements, which were secured in exchange for their cooperation, prosecutors have promised to seek reduced sentences for both men. Iwamasa faced up to 15 years in prison, and Fleming was looking at a possible 25-year sentence. The reduction reflects their acknowledgment of responsibility and cooperation with ongoing investigations.

The legal documents reveal that a sprawling criminal network was behind the supply of ketamine that led to Perry's death. Authorities have charged two doctors, Iwamasa, and an individual known as "The Ketamine Queen," among others, with conspiring to provide the drug to the former "Friends" star.

From September 2023 to his death on October 28, 2023, the defendants allegedly exploited Perry's addiction for profit. Evidence indicates that Perry’s assistant administered over 20 shots of ketamine in the final days of his life, despite knowing the actor was in distress.

Jasveen Sangha, dubbed "The Ketamine Queen," is accused of selling the fatal dose. Her home, described as resembling a drug warehouse, contained 80 vials of ketamine, along with thousands of meth pills, cocaine, Xanax, and other drug-related items.

Erik Fleming, identified as a drug broker, reportedly delivered ketamine to Iwamasa, including offering ketamine lollipops as part of the deal. The defendants allegedly used coded language to obscure their activities, referring to ketamine as "Dr. Pepper," "cans," and "bots." Following Perry’s death, Sangha is said to have instructed Fleming to delete all communications.

Law enforcement, responding to TMZ's earlier reports, executed several search warrants, seizing computers, phones, and other electronic devices to unravel the network behind Perry’s drug supply.

Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub on October 28, 2023, and was pronounced dead at the scene. At the time of his death, it was discovered that the ketamine in his system was not doctor-prescribed, leading to a full-scale investigation by local and federal authorities.

This case underscores the dark side of addiction and the devastating impact of illegal drug distribution networks. The investigation continues as authorities strive to bring those responsible for Perry’s death to justice.
