Perla Hudson Advocates for Leniency in Sentencing for Ketamine Supplier Jasveen Sangha
Slash's former wife, Perla Hudson, has written a letter to a judge in support of Jasveen Sangha, who admitted to supplying the liquid ketamine that led to actor Matthew Perry's overdose death. Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," is seeking leniency in her sentencing, with Hudson describing her as a loyal friend who supported her during difficult times. Sangha, a first-time offender, has been in custody since her arrest in August 2024 and is set to be sentenced on April 8.
Hudson highlighted Sangha's positive qualities, describing her as a highly educated, family-oriented, and caring individual who has been a supportive presence in her life and her children's lives. Despite the challenges Sangha is facing, Hudson emphasized her selfless and genuine friendship, noting their shared involvement in charitable activities and Sangha's continued support in building a new non-profit organization.
Sangha's involvement in Perry's overdose case included selling liquid ketamine to him in multiple transactions, leading to his death in October 2023. She also pleaded guilty to a 2019 ketamine sale that resulted in another man's fatal overdose. Sangha's lawyers are disputing the quantity of drugs seized from her apartment and contesting the government's claims about her alleged involvement in drug distribution.
The case involved a network of suppliers who exploited Perry's addiction, with two doctors, a middleman, and Perry's assistant also accepting plea deals. Prosecutors highlighted the group's profit-driven actions and disregard for safety, despite clear signs of Perry's substance abuse. The doctors involved in supplying Perry with ketamine received sentences last December, while Sangha's sentencing is pending.
As Sangha awaits her sentencing, Hudson's letter to the court seeks understanding and leniency based on Sangha's true character and positive impact on those around her. Despite the serious nature of the charges, Hudson's plea reflects a desire for compassion and a recognition of Sangha's potential for positive contributions to society.
