An Oregon man who drugged his daughter and her friends with fruit smoothies laced with a sleeping medication after they didn’t go to bed during a sleepover was sentenced to two years in prison.
Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old from the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego, apologized during his sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to three felony counts of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, The Oregonian reported.
“My whole life is destroyed,” he told the court. “Everything that was important to me up until that point is gone.”
… because rapey stuff seemed to start happening and may have continued if one of the girls didn’t text someone?
dude was checking them for consciousness, something unnecessary if he only wanted them to sleep.
if he was checking them to ensure they were alive, then he deserves a serious ass prison sentence as well, because he then clearly understood how risky what he was doing was.
so … yeah, as far as I am concerned this guy seems like prison is the right answer.
Could go either way as he dosed preteen children with fucking benzos.
I figured it was something like melatonin and the punishment might have been excessive, but nope.
Intentions aside, that’s just really unsafe.
Although now I’m curious if was at least measuring out the dose for each drink, or just tossing some undissolved pills in the blender and hoping it distributes evenly.
Edit: Holy shit does that AP article leave out some details. This guy was definitely looking to abuse the kids
Yeah, sure looks like it:
The only reason we know about it is because one of the girls didn’t drink the drug laced smoothies. The others that did were “groggy or blacked out” through the next day.
