According to a criminal complaint charging the 37-year-old man with contributing to the delinquency of a child: The incident occurred in October while the girl, whose parents are divorced, was spending time with her father. According to the girl, her father began quizzing her about marijuana and whether she was interested in trying it. The girl said she repeatedly told him she was not interested, but he forced her to accompany him to a bedroom, where he filled a pipe with marijuana, shoved it into her mouth and forced her to inhale after lighting the bowl. The girl said she eventually left the room and subsequently told her mother about the incident, ignoring her father's order not to disclose the matter. When he was questioned by police, he admitted discussing marijuana with his daughter and showing her a small bag of it that he had for his use, but he insisted she left the room without smoking any. He described the episode as an educational process. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
