Fleming, 56, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution resulting in death.”

Fleming sold 51 vials of liquid ketamine to Perry in October 2023, including the dose that caused the overdose, according to prosecutors. He connected the actor with Jasveen Sangha, known as the Ketamine Queen, who was sentenced last month to 15 years.

Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett ruled that while Fleming was not as culpable as the doctor who administered the drug, he was not a whole lot less responsible.

Fleming told the court he was haunted by his mistakes and expressed regret for profiting from Perry’s addiction despite knowing the risks. Perry, 54, was found unresponsive in his pool at his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, 2023.

The medical examiner ruled the death an accidental ketamine overdose, with drowning and coronary artery disease as contributing factors. Fleming must report to prison by June 29 and will serve three years of supervised release afterward. Fleming was the fourth of five defendants sentenced in the conspiracy.

Prosecutors credited his cooperation with investigators, including providing information that helped build cases against others involved. >"I’m haunted by the mistakes I’ve made.
