CONROE, Texas — Two Montgomery County sisters are behind bars after a 12-year-old girl told investigators that the women had physically and sexually abused her for months in their Conroe home.

Brenda Garcia, 38, and Tania Garcia, 37, are charged with injury to a child, unlawful restraint, and invasive visual recording.

The investigation began when the girl escaped on September 28 and told investigators with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office that the sisters held her captive, tortured her, and starved her.

According to court documents, the victim had injuries all over her body, including a large gash on her forehead that appeared infected. She was taken to Texas Children's Hospital in The Woodlands, where medical staff confirmed signs of physical abuse, neglect, and malnutrition.
