PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – A Lake Oswego father who was sentenced to prison in June for drugging drinks he served during his daughter’s sleepover is facing a new lawsuit from one of the girls and her father.
The lawsuit, which was first reported by The Oregonian , was filed in Clackamas County on Tuesday against the father, Michael Meyden, and Yukiko Meyden, his ex-wife, according to court documents.
The civil lawsuit seeks $2.4 million in damages for alleged battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

This lawsuit comes after Meyden was sentenced to two years in prison after agreeing to three felony charges of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, while lesser charges of applying a controlled substance to the body of a minor and delivery of a controlled substance to a minor were dropped.
The incident happened in late August 2023, when Meyden was supervising his pre-teen daughter’s sleepover and encouraged four 12-year-old girls to drink mango smoothies before they went to bed.
