Woman accused of holding stepson captive over 20 years in abusive conditions to go to trial in February

The case of a Connecticut woman accused of holding her stepson captive for over two decades is expected to go to trial in February.

A judge at the Waterbury Judicial District courthouse received a series of confidential records in the case against Kimberly Sullivan during a hearing on Tuesday. Sullivan wasn’t present at the hearing.

Over the next several weeks, the judge is expected to review the records obtained via a state subpoena from the Department of Children and Families, the Waterbury Public Schools and an undisclosed treatment facility. He will then determine which ones can be used during the trial.
