New developments in the aftermath of Matthew Perry’s death have emerged as a California doctor pleads guilty to criminal distribution charges connected to the case.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced that the doctor entered a guilty plea on a single count related to unlawful distribution. The charges stemmed from her pattern of prescribing substances without legitimate justification or proper evaluations. She now faces a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
