Kimberly Sullivan faces serious charges after her stepson, 32, allegedly set fire to their home to escape years of abuse and confinement. Bodycam footage reveals her repeatedly denying that her stepson was locked in a storage closet, claiming he had 'free rein' of the house. Authorities are skeptical of her claims, considering the distressing circumstances. Following the incident, Sullivan was arrested and charged with multiple serious offenses related to the long-term abuse of her stepson, and she has pleaded not guilty.
I was trying to go into the room but it was just - there were just flames - he came out of the room, eventually woke up and came out of the room.
Was the door locked on his room, or no? No, Sullivan replied. OK, is it normally locked? No, she answered.
But police allege that Sullivan was lying during that exchange.
Sullivan was arrested on March 12 and charged with first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree unlawful restraint, cruelty to persons and first-degree reckless endangerment.
