Police in Waterbury, Connecticut have released shocking video footage showing the rescue of a man who was allegedly held captive by his stepmother for two decades. The video, taken in February, shows first responders carrying out the emaciated man following a fire that he had set in an attempt to escape. The stepmother, identified as 56-year-old Kimberly Sullivan, can be seen in the video holding a dog and telling responders that her stepson is inside the house. The man, whose identity has not yet been released, weighed just 68 pounds and was in a condition worse than that of a jail cell, according to police. Sullivan has been arrested and faces charges including assault, kidnapping, and cruelty to persons. The victim has been hospitalized and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Police are supporting him with physical and mental treatment, including collecting donations for clothes and other items. Sullivan has posted bail and is due in court on March 26. This shocking case has sparked outrage and calls for justice in the Waterbury community.
