The longtime live-in personal assistant of late “Friends” star Matthew Perry was sentenced to three years and five months behind bars on Wednesday, the fifth and final defendant to be sentenced in the case.

U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett handed down the sentence in Los Angeles to Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, after he pled guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death. Iwamasa also received two years of probation and a $10,000 fine.
