Waterbury police said the stepson, now 32, weighed just 68 pounds when they found him. His stepmother, Kimberly Sullivan, has been charged with kidnapping and cruelty.

A 32-year-old man was “found in a severely emaciated condition” and detectives determined he had endured “prolonged abuse" and "starvation.”

Police say the man, who set a fire to escape, was held captive by his stepmother from age 11. He weighed 68 pounds when he was freed.

When he visited the man in the hospital after the fire, his uncle said, “I was shocked, he looks like a Holocaust survivor.” The post What to know about the Conn. woman who allegedly held her stepson captive for 20 years appeared first on Boston.
