Doesn’t this also violate right to privacy of everyone else in the home? I smell a civil rights issue.

Oh totally. And they’re not even alleged to have done anything wrong.

The prosecutor will say “well they could have lived in a Four Seasons instead of with their father.” Prosecutors are seldom reasonable people.

I believe the judge actually said something to the effect of "they chose to live with him still, and consented to the app"
