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 have 2 year old twins… I get it.

    I mean it’s wrong and I would never do that, but I get it.

      He went down and tried to separate the girls in their sleep while putting his hands on them.

      One girl describes how unsafe she felt for her drugged friends when he was trying to separate them.

        That’s obviously not what they meant.

        They get the desire to make a group of kids chill out and sleep.

        The blurb and headline make no insinuation of sexual abuse.

            I’m not a dude and I was talking about the commenter not the person in the story.

            The person probably didn’t read the article, and you did. You can enlighten them politely.
