Fleming, 56, received the sentence in a Los Angeles federal court and will also face three years of probation. He pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death and was the first defendant to cooperate with investigators, identifying 'The Ketamine Queen,' Jasveen Sangha. Prosecutors acknowledged Fleming's cooperation but argued it was motivated by self-preservation, while his defense highlighted his lack of a criminal record and remorse. Fleming delivered 25 vials of ketamine for $6,000 just four days before Perry's October 2023 death, with a medical examiner concluding Perry died from the acute effects of the drug.
