The Oregon father who drugged his 12-year-old daughter’s friends at a sleepover has been sentenced to two years in prison — and claims he only put sedatives in the girls’ drinks because he wanted them to get a good night’s sleep.
Oregon Dad Michael Meyden 's bizarre excuse as he is sentenced to two years in prison for drugging 12-year-old's daughter's friends' smoothies at sleepover
“I was overly fixated on them going to bed, yes, that is true,” he said, adding he wanted them to sleep so they could be well rested the next day. “I am hearing you express shame and remorse and I think those are authentic,” Judge Ann Lininger told Meyden on Monday. “Mom please pick me up and say I had a family emergency. I don’t feel safe. I might not respond but please come get me, Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!” that girl wrote in a desperate text to her mother around 1:45 a.m. that night.
“You played Russian roulette with my child’s life,” one girl’s mother said at the sentencing. “She is barely 5 feet tall and on a good day 70 pounds soaking wet and you overdosed her.”
