She was convicted by a jury last month of one felony count of torture, two felony counts of child abuse and endangerment and one felony enhancement of causing great bodily injury. 
During the trial witnesses detailed the abuse the girl suffered including being forced to kneel on rice or tin cans with her hands and legs hogtied, having a habanero pepper rubbed in her eyes and vagina after being forced to bite into the spice.
In other forms of cruel and unusual torture, the 10-year-old was plunged face first into a bathtub full of ice while zip tied.

‘This methodical and diabolical torture of children was normalized in this household to the point these children thought it was their fault that they were being abused,’ said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
‘The system failed this little girl. The system failed her siblings, ‘ he said.
‘We will get to the bottom of how this happened and what can be done to prevent another child from suffering the fate of what these children suffered at the hands of the very people who were supposed to protect them.’

Chavez lived with Flores and his daughters a home in Anaheim, Calif. Cops had previously been called to conduct a welfare check on the 10-year-old who they did not see, because she was zip tied to the bed in one of the bedrooms during their check

Police had previously been called to the home to do a welfare check on the 10-year-old, and body camera footage showed Chavez laughing and pointing to food around the house.
Officers did not see that the girl was zip tied to the bed in one of the bedrooms during their check. 
In her victim impact statement, the girl’s mother described their lives now she is reunited with her daughters: ‘We sleep in soft beds with fluffy blankets surrounded by more pillows than we can count. We take warm baths – not baths filled with ice. We throw bath bombs.’ 
‘We frost cupcakes and have movie nights. We play in our backyard whenever we want to – and sit in the warmth of the sun. We’re making up for lost time. They not only survived; they triumphed.’
‘She was the personification of a whisper,’ the woman said of seeing her daughters abused body in the hospital.
‘You’re hearing all of these details and it’s gruesome. You don’t wish that upon anybody,’ the 10-year-old’s uncle Walter said.
