Kimberly Sullivan’s lawyer, Waterbury’s wife, Connecticut, faces a litany of charges for allegedly abusing her stepson for 20 years, denied that her client is responsible for an abuse in an interview with Fox News Digital.
Referring to the Bodycam images published by the Waterbury Police Department last week, Ioannis Kaloidis said he does not agree with how he has been portrayed to his client.
“I have the photos, I have the videos,” said Kaloidis. “I do not agree with the characterization of those photos and videos. They have made the leg to be the sausage that anyone has seen in 20 years. I do not see that as the case.
“His face has a leg throughout television, news, internet, social networks. His life has gymnastics upside down. He has a giant objective on his back. Life.”
The accusations came to light after the authorities responded to a house fire in Waterbury on February 17.
Inside the house, they said they found a 32 -year -old man in a demacrated state, later identified as Sullivan’s stepdaughter.
He said he intentionally set fire because he wanted his freedom.
“This has an extreme shock for her,” Kaloidis told Fox News Digita. “She lived a relatively quiet life.”
“His side of the story is quite simple,” he added. “She didn’t harm him, she didn’t restore her, she didn’t imprison him.”
According to an order of judgment for Sullivan, his stepson, identified as “male victim 1”, said he was a hero in a storage closet without 8 -foot windows by 9 feet without air conditioning or heat and without access to a bath for 20 years.
It was supposedly maintained inside the closet from 22 to 24 hours per day.
The man told the police that two sandwiches and two small bottles of water were allowed every day, one of which would be used to bathe.
He said he eliminated his waste with water and newspaper bottles.
The man weighed less than 70 pounds when he responds for the first time found him after fire.
After an investigation, Sullivan was arrested on March 12 and accused of first degree assault, second -degree kidnapping, first -degree illegal rare, cruelty towards people and the reckless danger of the first degree.
She has released Bone from jail with a bail of $ 300,000.
While Kaloidis admitted that he does not know what happened inside the house at all times during the last 20 years, he said that Sullivan denies the imprisonment of his stepdaughter.
“She acknowledges that given these accusations, the rest of her life is at stake,” he said. “He hopes that through the process he is claimed.”
“I can tell him that the accusations were that this individual claims to have imprisoned in the leg in that house until the day of the fire,” said Kaloidis. “And my client firmly denies that there is some imprisonment. As for the whole story, there is much that anticipation will be in the course of the trial, hopefully, that is the appropriate place for the release of any additional information.”
