Kimberly Sullivan, 56, was charged with cruelty and kidnapping after her 32-year-old stepson's dramatic rescue from a burning home revealed over 20 years of alleged abuse. He suffered extreme starvation and neglect, living in constant fear and being padlocked in a small room without water. Prosecutors noted his condition resembled that of Holocaust survivors. Despite the severity of the allegations, a judge allowed Sullivan to remain free on bail with a GPS monitor, rejecting a request for house arrest as she pleads not guilty to the charges against her.
Prosecutors described the abuse in court, revealing that the victim, now 32, lived in constant fear and had endured horrific conditions for over two decades.
The victim, upon being rescued from a burning home, asked law enforcement why his stepmother, Kimberly Sullivan, was allowed to walk free after his harrowing experiences.
