Overview
- Kimberly Sullivan, 57, is due in Waterbury court Friday as her defense challenges protections that keep the rescued man publicly identified only as “S.”
- Her attorney argues she has a constitutional right to confront her accuser and is also seeking access to his medical records.
- The state opposes unsealing, citing safety concerns and a court order that shields the man’s assumed name and location.
- Sullivan is free on $300,000 bond with GPS monitoring and no-contact restrictions after pleading not guilty to kidnapping, unlawful restraint and related charges.
- The case stems from a February fire rescue in which the 32-year-old, who reported years of confinement and deprivation, was found weighing about 68 pounds.
