Michael Meyden, 57, admitted to drugging his daughter's friends with sedative-laced smoothies during a sleepover.
Meyden claimed his intention was to ensure the girls went to bed early and stayed home.
The three 12-year-old girls were hospitalized and tested positive for benzodiazepine.
Meyden received a two-year prison sentence and expressed remorse in court.
