The 23-year-old man was fined over $500 for the incident, which happened last August. The woman arrived home while he was playing games on the PlayStation, and that was when he make her a cup of tea. However, he added a sedative to the drink.
After the drug kicked in, the woman slept until the next day. She eventually realized she took drugs after she felt heavy at work. She also said she was nodding off while on the job.
The man eventually owned up and admitted to giving her drugs. He also admitted that he was on drugs when the incident occurred. Immediately following the incident, the woman ended up breaking up with the man.
He told the court that he put four to five drops of the sedative in her tea. The man also told the court that what he did was stupid and that he is now on the right path. He added that he has been off of drugs for months now, and he is going to be starting an apprenticeship. The woman did not suffer any injuries are a result of taking the drug, but the judge told the man that what he did was premeditated bodily harm.
