Two Texas sisters accused of physically restraining, beating and enslaving a 12-year-old girl - who investigators said the pair had helped from a previous abusive situation - have been indicted on federal charges, according to court records. Tania Evette Garcia, 37, and Brenda Mariana Garcia, 39, are both charged with one count of kidnapping and one count of forced labor, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas announced in a Monday, February 9, news release. Brenda's federal defense attorney, Guy Lee Womack, did not immediately return Us Weekly's request for comment.
