	Tolland Man Fumes about Reardon Abuse Suit Delays Journal Inquirer October 10, 2009 https://secure.townnews.com/shared-content/subscription/authenticate/index.php?mode=start &domain=journalinquirer.com&usereg=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.journalinquirer.com%2F%2Farticl es%2F2009%2F10%2F10%2Fcrime_and_courts%2Fdoc4acfa4b537209735423896.txt&discover=0&amex=0 Edward Karpuska of Tolland says Dr. George E. Reardon, the St. Francis Hospital endocrinologist now believed to have been a serial child molester, abused him for almost four years when he was taken to Reardon for treatment of childhood obesity in the 1960s. Karpuska, 53, says he has now been involved in legal proceedings over the abuse — first as a witness and more recently as a plaintiff — for at least 11 years, starting in the late 1990s, when Reardon was still alive. The proceedings have thus dragged on almost three times as long as the abuse Karpuska suffered. Even before this week's news of the breakdown of efforts to mediate the complex set of court cases over Reardon's conduct, Karpuska was eager to tell anybody who would listen that he was reaching the limits of his tolerance for delays in the case.
