WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Police in West Hartford are working to identify what they said were hundreds of children who could be victims of child pornography after more than 50,000 slides were found in a home that once belonged to a prominent physician.
Police said they believe the photos might have been shared with others, and are working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to identify the victims in the images.
The photos were discovered when the new owners of a home that once belonged to Dr. George Reardon began renovating the basement and removed some paneling, revealing a secret storage area where thousands of slides and video containing images of child pornography had been hidden.
Reardon, who practiced medicine at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center for over 30 years, serving as Chief of Endocrinology, has since died. Police said they believe he was the one responsible for taking the photos and films.
Police urged anyone who believes they might have been involved as a child in these images or films to contact police.
"We understand that this is an emotional issue for anyone who may have been exploited in these images," Lt. Donald Melanson said in a news release. "Any information gathered will be kept in strictest confidence."
Get a rope.
Ooooops..........
I suspect he is in a lot worse place right now than any of us could put him.
Dig up his corpse and rebury it in a landfill. Put his head on a pike.
Read the story, the guy is already dead.
“Get a rope.”
He’s already dead.
Then again, the Roman Catholic church did occasionally dig up the bones of people whose work was declared heretical after their death, and burned the bones as some sort of punishment.
Just saying.
He's dead, but someone in that family needs to explain this, was anyone helping cover it up.
Too late.
The Brits did it to Cromwell.
I predicting a series of lawsuits against the heirs of the doctor to recover any money they received from his estate.
What makes you think someone in his family “needs to explain this”?
I’m just glad he’s dead.
Actually digging him up isn’t such a bad idea. Don’t soil the ground with his body.
Whatsa mattah, just because you’re a ‘prominent physician’ you shouldn’t be able to enjoy a common American pastime?!
paging Dr Rear done.
Too late.
"He's dead, Jim."
I think it’s interesting that most of these photos were actually “slides,” as this story refers to them as. Is that slides as in, they go into a projector, I wonder? Seems like an odd way to keep pictures now days — these must have been from quite some time ago.
How can someone do that without seeing the photos?
