Two Adult Care Home Operators Indicted
(Tigard, OR) -- A mother and daughter from Tigard are charged in federal court for forcing three people, including a juvenile, to work for little or no pay in an adult foster care home. 66-year-old Marie Valmont and 30-year-old Yolandita Marie Andre own Velida's Care Home. They went to Haiti and convinced the victims to work for them. They allegedly forced them to work long hours for little pay. They took their immigration paperwork and told them they couldn't leave the care home. They threatened to have them sent back to Haiti and killed, if they told police. Both women were arrested and face seven count indictments.
