A Connecticut woman was arrested on Wednesday (March 12) after her stepson started a house fire to escape decades of inhumane conditions.
Kimberly Sullivan is accused of holding her 32-year-old stepson captive since he was 11, the Waterbury Police Department said in a statement.
The victim, whose name has not been made public, was found “in a severely emaciated condition and had not received medical or dental care” while living with his stepmother, police said.
