A father in Oregon drugged his daughter and two of her friends during a sleepover in August of 2023, court documents allege.
Fifty-seven-year-old Michael Meyden, from Lake Oswego, is accused of lacing smoothies with benzodiazepine, a sedative that is commonly used to treat insomnia or panic attacks.
According to court documents, the three 12-year-old girls reported feeling groggy, and some of them blacked out. All three of them later tested positive for benzodiazepine.
Meyden repeatedly checked on the girls in a basement where they were sleeping, according to the court records. He held his finger under one girl’s nose and waved it in front of her face.
