Kimberly Sullivan, the Connecticut woman accused of keeping her stepson locked inside a small room for more than two decades, has rejected two plea deals that could have put her behind bars for decades.
The 57-year-old now appears headed toward trial after prosecutors offered her a chance to plead guilty to several charges in exchange for a 30-year sentence.
The case came to light in February 2025, when her then-32-year-old stepson allegedly set fire to the Waterbury home in what authorities said was an attempt to escape. He was found weighing just 68 pounds.
