A Connecticut woman, Kimberly Sullivan, 56, was arrested after being accused of keeping her stepson captive for two decades. Authorities discovered the alleged abuse after responding to a fire at her Waterbury home, which the 32-year-old stepson admitted to setting in a desperate attempt to escape. Police say he had been locked away, starved, and denied medical care since he was 11, leaving him severely emaciated. The stepson told investigators he lived in isolation, received minimal food and water, and was forced to use bottles and newspapers for waste disposal. Sullivan faces multiple charges, including kidnapping, assault, and reckless endangerment. Her attorney insists she is innocent and urges the public not to rush to judgment. Sullivan remains in custody on a $300,000 bond.
