A Connecticut woman accused of holding her stepson as a prisoner in a "house of horrors" for two decades has been slapped with additional charges stemming from the alleged captivity.
Kimberly Sullivan, 57, is facing two charges of first-degree kidnapping, along with charges of assault, intentional cruelty to persons and unlawful restraint, Waterbury house on fire to escape captivity. He was just 68 pounds when firefighters pulled him from the burning building.
Last year, Sullivan was granted access to her stepson’s new identity, medical records and current address after asking a judge to hand over the information, court filing.
The move sent shockwaves throughout S’s family, with the victim’s biological mother blasting the request from Sullivan’s defense team.
"If you look at any domestic violence situation, you’re not going to let the person who is being the evil person around the one who needs to be protected," Tracy Vallerand told the New York Post.
"It’s appalling that they even had the audacity to request that."
Vallerand reportedly gave up custody of S decades ago, leaving the child with her ex, who died in 2024, and Sullivan.
Sullivan has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains free on $300,000 as she awaits trial.
Sullivan’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
