Were you planning on going outside tonight? Well, it doesn't matter. Wherever you are, spiders can get to you. And a whole bat is just an appetizer. Martin Nyffeler of Basel University and Mirjam Knörnschild of Ulm University published a paper last year titled "Bat Predation by Spiders." That means spiders that eat bats.
They found 52 reports of spiders eating bats across every continent except Antarctica.* Many of the attacks were by giant golden orb silk-weavers (Nephilidae), who presumably accept bat flesh when human is not easily attainable. You can see more photos of them here.

I find the Woody Allen offense a lot more disturbing than this but maybe that's because we know more of the story.
Having sex with your wife's daughter, your step-daughter, just isn't right, whatever the age or relationship. Even if no parental/authoritative relationship really exists, he was still probably taking advantage of his step-daughter.
Over all, leave them alone to seek therapy as needed for their own situations.
