Man Gave LSD To 11-Year-Old Girl: Sarasota County Sheriff's Office

SARASOTA, FL — A Sarasota man faces multiple charges after giving LSD to an 11-year-old girl, authorities said.

Gabriel Derylak, 19, was charged with sale of a controlled substance, sale of a controlled substance to a person under 18 and unlawful use of a two-way communications device, according to a Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office news release.

On July 29, deputies were called to the home of the girl, who was going in and out of consciousness, the agency said. Paramedics determined she was experiencing the effects of LSD or acid.

Through digital evidence, detectives found conversations between Derylak and the child, learning that he drove to the 11-year-old’s neighborhood and gave her marijuana edibles and seven tabs of LSD.

When he was taken into custody Wednesday and during a search of his apartment, investigators found more drugs, including 163 prescription pills, LSD, marijuana, 125 grams of mushrooms, THC edibles and cartridges, and butane hash oil, as well as drug sales paraphernalia, the sheriff’s office said. The items are being tested in the agency’s drug laboratory and the results may lead to additional charges.

Derylak remains in custody today on $10,500 bond.
