A judge ordered Waterbury stepmom Kimberly Sullivan to wear a GPS monitor as a condition of her continued release, as a defense attorney entered a not guilty plea for her on Friday morning.

A Connecticut woman accused of imprisoning her stepson for nearly two decades and subjecting him to starvation and relentless abuse has plead not guilty to charges including assault, kidnapping and cruelty.

Kimberly Sullivan, the Connecticut woman accused of imprisoning her stepson for 20 years, must wear a GPS monitor while out on bail, a judge ruled.

A Connecticut man who told authorities was held captive in his own home for two decades since he was still a boy has asked why his stepmother is not behind bars after being charged with cruelty to persons and other crimes,

Judge Joseph Schwartz said he decided that GPS monitoring was appropriate given her mental health conditions and the lack of a permanent residence since she is living with her children. This appearance came after Sullivan made a brief court appearance on Wednesday morning that lasted only 50 seconds.

The biological family of a Connecticut man who said he was held captive for 20 years spoke out on Wednesday as his stepmother appeared in court. Kimberly Sullivan said nothing as she rushed past a crush of cameras.

The woman briefly appeared in Waterbury Superior Court where she and her attorney learned of the motion and were granted a continuance until Friday.

A stepmother accused of torturing her stepson for 20 years faced a judge for the second time in a week.
