Peter Sellers’ Daughter Charged

NEWARK, N.J. — The daughter of the late actor Peter Sellers was charged today with membership in a violent Hollywood-based cocaine trafficking ring.

A federal grand jury charged actress Victoria Sellers, 23, with conspiracy for alleged involvement in a six-person operation that used violence and threats to muscle its way onto the turf of other drug sellers. The indictment charges that Sellers, who lived at the same Beverly Hills address as Reed Wallace, the alleged kingpin of the cocaine ring, was used as bait to lure an individual targeted by the ring into a beating. She faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if found guilty of the charges against her.
