Maddie claimed that her alleged captor raped her several times a day, even though she did not want to have sex with him, and that he once choked her.
Allen said she did not try to leave because Brown knew her family’s address and had made threats against them. 
She said that Brown told her he had mailed her phone to the southern border so that nobody could find her, and later claimed that police had stopped looking for her.
