Connecticut resident Kimberly Sullivan was arrested and arraigned on Wednesday after she was accused of abuse by her adult stepson. Her attorney says she denies all the allegations against her.
A Connecticut woman was arrested Wednesday after she was accused of keeping her stepson captive for 20 years.
Waterbury police and fire responded to a fire at the home of 56-year-old Kimberly Sullivan on the night of Feb. 17. Both Sullivan and her 32-year-old stepson were evacuated from the home as firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the blaze.
Sullivan's stepson, while receiving medical treatment, disclosed that he intentionally set the fire to the upstairs bedroom with hand sanitizer, printer paper, and a lighter because he wanted his "freedom" from his stepmother, the Waterbury Police Department said in a news release. He told police that she had held him captive since he was 11 years old.
