Michael Meyden is accused of making the smoothies with benzodiazepine, a drug typically prescribed for anxiety, according to a probable cause affidavit.
An Oregon man accused of spiking smoothies with sedatives and giving them to his daughter’s pre-teen friends has been charged with multiple felonies, according to court documents.
Michael Meyden, 57, of Lake Oswego, allegedly drugged three of his daughter’s friends while they slept over on the night of Aug. 25, 2023, according to court documents and a probable cause affidavit filed this week in Clackamas County.
The girls, all 12 years old, were hospitalized and tested positive for benzodiazepine, described in the affidavit as a drug typically prescribed for anxiety, with common prescriptions under the names Valium, Xanax and Klonopin. Benzodiazepines are a depressant that produces sedation, sleepiness and a relaxed mood, the affidavit said.
I’m not sure but it does sound fishy as fuck.
I don’t disagree. But you’d think the article would be more explicit if he was suspected of sexually assaulting the girls.
The parents showed up before he could. Also, one of the girls wasn’t affected as much and was able to run defense.
He was trying to sexually assault them. There’s no question here.
He has something fishy in mind - that’s for certain.
But how can you say “there’s no question” about whether he wanted to sexually assault them?
Maybe he wanted to kill them or something.
Might just be written with context they were given and not insinuation. Which is good. But yeah. It seems he was trying to be a predator here from the context.
They can’t say for sure because, thank goodness, it didn’t happen. But there are very few good explanations for heavily drugging children and attempting to physically move them.
