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.
