Very disgusting case. VERY smart girls, and I hope they're getting all the therapy and support they could possibly need. I also hope this monster isn't allowed to see his children, and that his poor daughter doesn't feel guilt over what her father attempted to do to her friends. Jeez Louise.
This article is very long so I tried to just put the pertinent parts...

A 57-year-old man is accused of drugging three 12-year-old girls with sedative-laced smoothies during his daughter’s sleepover last summer at his Lake Oswego home, court records show.
Michael Meyden turned himself in to the Clackamas County Jail late Tuesday on multiple felony and misdemeanor allegations and pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Wednesday in Clackamas County Circuit Court. His bail was set at $50,000.
Meyden laced mango smoothies with benzodiazepines and served the drinks to his daughter’s friends, according to a probable cause affidavit written by Lake Oswego police Detective Nicole Palmeri. A benzodiazepine is a depressant that slows the nervous system.
Meyden faces charges including causing another person to ingest a controlled substance and application of a controlled substance to the body of another person.
According to the affidavit, Meyden made repeated visits to the basement, at one point holding his finger under one girl’s nose and waving his hand in front of her face to see if she was asleep. He also moved one girl’s arm and moved her body on the bed. The girl “remained awake in fear that Mr. Meyden was going to do something” to her friend, according to the affidavit.
Meyden walked out of the room, prompting a girl to text her mother at 1:43 a.m. Sunday: “Mom please pick me up and say I had a family emergency. I don’t feel safe. I might not respond but please come get me (crying emoji), Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!”
One girl told police “she could feel him watching her by his presence as she kept her eyes shut, pretending to be asleep.” Meyden appeared to keep “doing tests to make sure we weren’t awake,” a girl told Palmeri.
In the middle of the night, an adult who one of the girls had texted came to pick her up and bring her home. The girl then woke up her parents, who then contacted the parents of the other girls. Those parents went to the Meyden home about 3 a.m. to collect their daughters. Meyden resisted at first, saying the girls were asleep and asking the parents to return in the morning, Palmeri wrote.
The parents insisted.
At noon the following day, between nine and 12 hours after the girls had allegedly been drugged, Palmeri interviewed one of them, observing that the girl “walked slowly and used the assistance of her mother for balance, her eyelids were heavy, and she spoke slowly.”
The girl could not walk on her own after she left Meyden’s house and kept repeating “what happened” before her parents decided to take her to the hospital, Palmeri wrote.
