A New Mexico couple allegedly forced their teenage daughter to engage in sexual acts with her six siblings while other adults watched.
Valerie Cordell, 41, and her husband Melvin, 50, of Deming, were arrested in February after their 16-year-old daughter reported years of abuse she said she and her siblings endured while living in squalid underground caves surrounded by human feces, rotting food and bags of trash.
