POWAY, Calif. -- A father is facing charges in the wake of his daughter's Playboy Mansion-themed 18th birthday party, where girls dressed in lingerie and bunny ears and at least two teen boys drank themselves unconscious, police here say.
Several photos of Friday night's party were posted on Instagram, including one of host Olivia Lake in a revealing black top, ABC-10 news was reporting. Many of the photos were later taken down or marked as "private," but not before popular websites like Gawker.com and DailyMail.com had published them.
Neighbor complaints led to a "small army of sheriff's deputies" showing up to shut the party down, the station reported.
Police say they found two unconscious, intoxicated teenage boys in the house and say many of the teens were drinking.
Jeff Lake, Olivia's father, faces charges of violating the city's social host ordinance, under which it is illegal to host a party where underage individuals are drinking. The offense carries up to six months in jail, according to ABC-10.
Lake is an attorney who specializes in medical marijuana cases, the station reported. Mother Jacki Lake is the former Poway High School PTA president.
A day after her party, Olivia Lake did not show remorse for the busted bash, posting to Twitter: "Huge thanks to everyone who was able to be a part of last night! I hope you all had a damn good time and that you're all okay and safe."
