“The only rights a minor has in her father’s house, other than basic human rights, are those granted by her parents.”
Maybe dad had a rule that the daughter could not invite guys over in the middle of the night to have sex but she can still grant access to the home and the invitee is not breaking a law.

" Girl Sneaks Him In""sneaks"...implies the girl was aware she did not have authority to grant such permission/access.
"Middleton ran out of the closet"Clearly, Middleton was aware he was not granted permission/access by the home-owner since he was hiding in the guest bedroom closet.
This is a terrible set of circumstances bought on by the homeowners defiant daughter. She will have to live with the consequences brought on by her poor decision making. Not only did she know she was breaking confidence with her father - she sneaked in this boyfriend. She must have been aware her father was armed to ensure his family's safety, yet she risked sneaking her boyfriend into the house without his knowledge. Defiance.
A young man is dead. Her father will forever question whether he did everything he could to prevent such a tragedy.
Not at three on the morning He broke into a locked house
