A DOCTOR has pleaded guilty to giving Matthew Perry ketamine in the month leading up to the Friends star's horrific overdose death.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia admitted four counts to a federal court judge in Los Angeles after branding Perry, 54, a "moron" in sick texts.

The California doctor had been charged in the 2023 overdose death of the Friends star.

He pleaded guilty today to four counts of illegal distribution of the prescription anesthetic ketamine.

The doctor faces up to 40 years in prison when sentenced, prosecutors warned.

He was one of five people charged in connection with Perry's tragic death.

Plasencia, 43, was to have gone on trial in August.

But he agreed last month to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, according to the signed document filed in federal court in Los Angeles.

Today in court, he spoke only to answer Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett's questions.
