“Upon careful review of the evidence before the court, the children did not say their father inserted his manhood into their ‘bum bum’, they only said he touched their ‘bum bum’.
“I observed the three of them. They did not lie about their father, they did not say he used his manhood, he only used his fingers.
“The children gave unshaken testimonies on how their father fiddled with their innocence multiple times by inserting his fingers into their vaginas.
