“Malinek was verbally abusive to me and the others in the house. Malinek would tell the adults that if anyone told anyone about what was happening in the house or their debt payments to Malinek that she would have them deported back to Guatemala and Malinek would keep their kids here with her,” the teen, identified in the government’s sentencing memo as “Victim 1,” told investigators. At one point, Malinek feared the father was going to report what was happening and said she would claim the man was sexually abusing the girl, the teen explained. She also said she saw Malinek hit her 5-year-old cousin and heard Malinek threaten her own brothers with deportation.
