  • "My Client is Innocent"
    Mar 13 2026
    This week on Say More with NBC Connecticut, we’re speaking with the attorney for Kimberly Sullivan. She is accused of holding her stepson captive for 20 years in their Waterbury home. He goes by “S” and says he was kept in an 8-by-9-foot room, allowed out only once per day for up to two hours. He says he was given two sandwiches and two small bottles of water each day. Last year, at 31 years old, he says he set a fire in the room in an attempt to gain his freedom. Police say that at 5 feet 9 inches tall, he weighed just 68 pounds. He details some pretty horrible abuse accusations about his stepmother. She denies those claims, and her attorney tells us his client is innocent.
