While one girl consumed two cups, another had one cup, and a third reported drinking very little since she didn’t like the taste.
It is uncertain how much the suspect’s daughter drank, although witnesses noted her intake appeared significant.
Sleepover ends Abruptly
The affidavit indicates that Meyden appeared to monitor the girls even after they were in bed for the night. The girl who didn’t drink much recounted the man repeatedly attempted to physically separate her from her friends.
She was so alarmed by his behavior with her unconscious friends that she texted and called friends and family asking for help.
According to the affidavit one of her texts said, “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.”
“Please. Please pick up. Please. PLEASE!!”
The girl who was calling for help was picked up by a family friend. And the two other parents went to pick up their children. According to the affidavit Meyden “was reluctant to let them leave.”
