Aug. 15, 2024 – “They knew what they were doing was wrong. They knew what they were doing was risking great danger to Mr Perry, but they did it anyways. In the end, these defendants were more interested in profiting off Mr Perry than caring for his wellbeing,” US attorney Martin Estrada said. “This network included a live-in assistant, various go-betweens, two medical doctors and a major source of drug supply known as, quote: ‘the Ketamine Queen’.” Estrada said five people had been charged.
“They knew what they were doing was wrong. They knew what they were doing was risking great danger to Mr Perry, but they did it anyways. In the end, these defendants were more interested in profiting off Mr Perry than caring for his wellbeing,” he said.
Documents filed in federal court in California, reported by the New York Times, accuse the five people, who include Perry’s personal assistant, of being involved in a scheme to procure thousands of dollars worth of ketamine and administer it to Perry.
Jasveen Sangha, whom prosecutors said was known as “the Ketamine Queen”, and Salvador Plasencia, a doctor known as “Dr P”, are among those indicted, per the Times. The pair are charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine; distribution of ketamine resulting in death; possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine; and altering and falsifying records related to a federal investigation.
Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry’s personal assistant, was charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine, the Times reported, citing a person with knowledge of the situation. Mark Chavez, a doctor, and Erik Fleming, an acquaintance of Perry, were also charged.
The court documents revealed text messages sent between Plasencia and Chavez in which the former discussed buying ketamine to sell to “victim MP” – Perry.
In the exchange, Plasencia wrote: “I wonder how much this moron will pay”, and “let’s find out”, the Times reported.
