Ketamine Queen Jasveen Sangha pleads guilty

A high profile ketamine case tied to Hollywood circles moves toward a guilty plea, highlighting a secret drug network.

Ketamine Queen Jasveen Sangha will plead guilty in Perry case

Jasveen Sangha, a dual American British national, is set to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug involved premises, three counts of distributing ketamine, and one count of distributing ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, according to the Justice Department. The plea follows a federal case that centers on a North Hollywood stash house where prosecutors say she supplied ketamine to celebrities and high end clients. The death of Cody McLaury in August 2019 is linked to the drug supply chain described in the indictment.

Federal authorities say the North Hollywood house held more than 80 vials of ketamine and thousands of pills including methamphetamine, cocaine and Xanax. The home, dubbed the Sangha stash house in the indictment, was where she packaged and distributed drugs and where she moved in social circles that included major award shows. The episode casts a spotlight on Hollywood drug networks, a term a doctor once called the wild west in a BBC interview, illustrating how fame can intersect with illegal markets.

Beyond the legal specifics, the case raises questions about accountability in celebrity culture and the ways law enforcement tracks supply chains that pass through luxury spaces. If prosecutors succeed, it could push deeper scrutiny of celebrities' ties to illegal drugs and the limits of plea deals. Coverage risks glamorizing a dangerous underworld while underscoring real harm and public health concerns. The situation also invites a broader debate about oversight and the ethics of social circles that mingle fame with illegal activity.
