Connecticut Captivity Case Enters Pre-Trial Phase as Judge Reviews Decades of Records
Kimberly Sullivan, accused of holding her stepson captive for over 20 years in Waterbury, Connecticut, faces a February trial after a judge reviewed confidential records from child welfare and school agencies. The stepson, identified as 'S,' escaped in 2025 by setting a fire, revealing severe neglect and malnourishment. Sullivan rejected plea deals and maintains her innocence, while defense motions regarding jury size and terminology are pending.
