DANBURY — A woman accused of sabotaging one man’s effort to prove he’s the father of two of her children and poisoning another man last year was told by court officials not to consume alcohol after she appeared in court Friday pregnant.

Kristen Hogan, 33, faces two counts of attempted murder and one count of interfering with an officer in one of her cases at state Superior Court in Danbury, and charges of perjury and evidence-tampering in another. She pleaded not guilty to the charges in April.

Prosecutors said during the proceedings they are close to making an offer to Hogan to resolve the charges through a plea agreement, which will be made public when she appears in court again on Sept. 24.

Hogan is under house arrest after being released on bond. She has three children, according to court documents.

The attempted murder and interfering charges stem from an investigation into the suspected August 2025 poisoning of a Ridgefield man, who was found to have ethylene glycol — a common ingredient in antifreeze — in his system, according to a warrant for Hogan’s arrest.

Hogan, who grew up in New Canaan and was living with the man in Ridgefield at the time, initially denied but later confessed to putting the toxic substance in a bottle of wine, according to the warrant.

Police said Hogan claimed to have “just wanted to make him sick as payback for him being mentally abusive,” and confessed to also putting some ethylene glycol in an iced tea bottle belonging to the victim on another occasion.

After being charged with attempted murder and interfering Oct. 3, and later released after posting 10% of a $1 million bond in cash, Hogan was arrested again Dec. 11.

She was charged that day with evidence tampering and three counts of perjury, stemming from an investigation into alleged deceitful activity during a custody battle. A warrant said Hogan used her sister’s children to falsify the results of a court-ordered DNA test to determine a man’s paternity of two of her children.

At issue were dueling claims of paternity between a former husband of Hogan and another man, with whom she had a prior relationship, according to court documents. The warrant for Hogan’s arrest said the first child was born in 2020 and the second child in 2021.

One of the men in question reportedly dated Hogan from 2013 to 2020, and the pair reconnected in January 2021 and began having sexual relations, according to the warrant. At that time, though, the warrant says Hogan was married to another man. Court records show they divorced in October 2021.

Hogan’s former husband had believed he was the father of the two children, but a paternity test conducted during the divorce showed he was not the father of the older child and the court ordered a paternity test to clear the confusion, according to the warrant for Hogan’s arrest.

In August 2023, the court was notified of inconsistencies in samples collected at a DNA diagnostic center, according to the warrant, which says a letter from the lab stated that the samples had been collected from the incorrect people.

It later was determined that Hogan had used one of her sister’s children for the samples, according to the warrant, which says the sister had been unaware of what Hogan was doing.

Police said Hogan also made claims in November 2024 that she conceived the two children at the center of the custody battle through in vitro fertilization, but there was no evidence to support that.

Following her Dec. 11 arrest on perjury and evidence-tampering charges, court records show Hogan was released after posting 7% of the $50,000 bond in cash.
