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.”
100% the guy is an irresponsible creep with terrible judgment and should never be allowed around a kid again.
But as far as any evidence and testimony provides, that’s as far as it goes and we do not need inaccurate, alarmist commentary to emphasize how wrong what he actually did was.
If someone punches somebody else, and then a third party screams about how that bastard murderer killed a guy, then it turns out he didn’t kill anyone, it ultimately discredits the actual story.
I agree. I wouldnt go so far as saying it was off the table as a possibility, but I wouldn’t call it attempted rape.
I don’t know what the minimums and maximums are for his actual crime, but I do hope the testimony of what happened was factored into the decision.
