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.”

Could easily be a “Oh shit! What have I done? Need to check vitals.” situation.
I think what he did was wrong too. But over here we have that pesky innocent until proven guilty thing and I’m not wasting mental load on a hypothetical “What if?” dredged up by an internet stranger.
Just pointing out rape was not mentioned whatsoever in either article nor a charge in court, as that would certainly be reported. You made that up.
Re-arranging kids on the bed, I do that with my own children all the time. Kids are weird, I find them in the strangest orientations that very frequently leave parts of them hanging out of the bed or in danger of falling out entirely. I usually re-arrange them and tuck them in properly before I go to sleep every night. They’re all double digit ages, so this isn’t just a toddler thing or something. At a sleepover, if I found kids falling out of bed or in danger of smothering each other or something I’d absolutely just re-arrange them.
The drugging part, totally insane though.
Did you read the article how he did it? He was explicitly testing them to see if they were waking up from the movement or not in the most cartoonish ways possible.
The way you rationalize things is how children gets raped.
Sad.
I rearrange my own kids when they don’t get all the way back into bed after using the bathroom. There’s no way I’m touching someone else’s kids if they’re sleeping at our house.
I love how you’re getting down voted for a completely sane and logical take.
How completely sane and logical to think this man just drugged an entire group of children at a sleepover because he wanted to get some sleep.
You think it’s sane to touch 12 year olds without their permission?
Sanity? On the INTERNET!? No! Scoop out your brain and light your pitchfork! Reeeee!
