Overview
- A Waterbury judge ruled the defense may obtain the accuser’s new name, location and medical information, warning Kimberly Sullivan she faces contempt if any detail is shared beyond her legal team.
- Prosecutors urged continued secrecy, citing the 32-year-old’s fear and his ongoing care at an undisclosed hospital under an alias, but the court said the data is necessary for basic investigation.
- Sullivan’s bid to remove her GPS ankle monitor was denied, and the court kept a no-contact order in place.
- The judge limited the accuser’s ability to weigh in on Sullivan’s release conditions, noting victims may address only specific stages such as pleas or sentencing.
- Sullivan, 57, has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, unlawful restraint and related charges after her stepson escaped in February by setting a fire and was rescued at 68 pounds.
