Deena Villella, 41, remained at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday for suspected cruelty to a child. Her bail was set at $100,000, sheriff’s booking records show.

Villella’s suspected abuse was injuries to the face of the girl, whom sheriff’s officials said was sexually abused by William Lee Powers-Moffard, 46, of Hesperia.

While serving a search warrant on March 3 in the 7500 block of Barker Road, a deputy found evidence indicating that a 13-year-old girl had been physically abused by Villella, the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station reported.

On Wednesday afternoon, a deputy arrested Villella at the Hesperia residence, where additional evidence was recovered that substantiated the suspected abuse, the department said.

The girl remains in a placement through San Bernardino County Child and Family Services.

It was not clear whether Villella or Powers-Moffard are related to the victim.
