The Waterbury Police Department has released disturbing photos from inside a home where a 32-year-old man claims his stepmother held him captive for two decades. The images reveal filthy living conditions, damage from a fire that the victim says he started in an attempt to escape, and locks on some doors. The man told investigators he was locked in a small room since he was 11 years old, with no medical care and barely enough food to survive. Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo described the man as weighing 68 pounds and standing at 5-foot-9. Kimberly Sullivan, the stepmother, faces charges including kidnapping and felony assault, though her attorney maintains her innocence. The victim’s biological mother, Tracy Vallerand, has called for justice for her son. Sullivan is scheduled to appear in court on April 22. Viewer discretion is advised when viewing the photos, as they offer a disturbing insight into the alleged years of captivity endured by the man.
