	Pool of Abuse Victims May Increase WTNH January 26, 2009 http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/news_ap_hartford_law_change_could_increase_pool_of_abuse_victims_200901260655 Hartford (AP) - Connecticut legislators are considering a plan that may allow more people to sue St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford over alleged child sex abuse by a prominent doctor. The measure would extend a statute of limitations to 2010 in the case of Dr. George Reardon, who began working at St. Francis in 1963. Reardon died in 1998. A little over a year ago, more than 100 films and 50,000 slides of child pornography were discovered hidden in a wall at his former home in West Hartford. More than 100 people who say Reardon abused them when they were children are now suing the hospital, claiming negligence in failing to prevent Reardon's actions. St. Francis officials say they can't comment because they're still assessing the proposed legislation.
