John Regan) In an Old Family, a Suspect in Crimes Old and New

Published: November 28, 2005
WATERBURY, Conn. - John F. Regan had been out on bail for a year when a
concerned photo clerk at the Walgreens on West Main Street called the
police earlier this fall.
"He says, 'I'm getting all these pictures developed by this guy John
Regan and they're of all these women,' " said Sgt. Chris Corbett of the
Waterbury police. "He thought it was odd, because the pictures didn't
add up. They were like surveillance photos. These are pictures of women
getting out of their cars in a parking lot, going into a store, going
into a bank."
The clerk had another reason to be suspicious: He knew Mr. Regan's name
and face.
Mr. Regan, 49, a married father of three from a prominent family with
deep roots in this city, has been a focus of local news coverage since
he was charged last year in two cases that involved allegations of
sexual assault. He is awaiting trial in those cases; he faces
kidnapping charges in one and unlawful restraint charges in the other.
Within six weeks of the photo clerk's call, the Waterbury police used
the photographs to charge Mr. Regan with a new crime, stalking. But
before they did, the police in New York say, Mr. Regan had already
committed another crime, the attempted kidnapping of a 17-year-old
track star at Saratoga Springs High School after practice on Halloween.
The girl's coaches chased Mr. Regan, who was in his van, moments after
she fought him off, the police said. Inside the van, the police said,
they found a rope, a blue tarp, liquor and other items that
investigators regarded as suspicious.
In the weeks since, local and F.B.I. investigators in Connecticut, New
York and Massachusetts have been examining whether Mr. Regan might have
links to several unsolved sex crimes and murders reaching back nearly
two decades. Parents of long-missing young women have expressed
cautious hope that a suspect might finally be in custody.
But so far, for all the attention and suspicion, no evidence has
surfaced, some investigators say.
Mr. Regan is now in custody at the Central New York Psychiatric Center
near Utica after he attempted suicide this month while in jail in
Saratoga Springs. While the Waterbury police portray him as a dangerous
man, he has steadfastly maintained his innocence through his lawyers.
To represent him in one of the Connecticut cases, Mr. Regan's family
hired Hope Seeley, a Hartford lawyer who defended Michael Skakel, a
nephew of Ethel Kennedy, against murder charges, and Alex Kelly, a
convicted rapist from Greenwich who fled to Europe when he was first
charged as a teenager.
Mr. Regan, a former salesman and branch manager for a roofing and
siding company, ABC Supply, and his wife, Ruth, who teaches at a
Catholic school, own a charming two-story, colonial-style house on
Euclid Avenue in the historic neighborhood of Overlook, a few blocks
from where he grew up and where his parents still live.
An elementary school in Waterbury is named for Mr. Regan's grandfather
Frank G. Regan, a high school principal for nearly half a century. Mr.
Regan's father, Dr. Frank G. Regan Jr., a retired dentist known as
Scoop for his reputation as a young man for knowing the talk of the
town, refused to comment for this article.
Mr. Regan's brother, Patrick M. Regan, is a prominent lawyer in
Washington. He has helped hire lawyers to represent his brother in
Connecticut and New York. He did not respond to two requests for
comment left with an employee in his Washington office.
If family and neighbors were stunned by the allegations against Mr.
Regan in Waterbury last year, scrutiny only increased after his arrest
in Saratoga Springs. On a recent cover of a local tabloid, The
Waterbury Observer, a large photograph of his face was displayed
beneath the headline, "Busted!"
Louise Boulanger, who has lived across the street from Dr. Regan and
his wife, Gioia, for half a century and whose children grew up with Mr.
Regan, described Mr. Regan's parents as "devastated, they're absolutely
devastated."
"She's been to church every day of her life," Ms. Boulanger said.
"She's a very religious woman, and she definitely didn't deserve this."
Before the arrest in Saratoga Springs, when Mr. Regan faced charges
only in Connecticut, Ms. Boulanger met his mother on the sidewalk one
day. "She said, 'He's innocent, you know.' She looked me right in the
eye," Ms. Boulanger recalled. "If it was my son, I would have said the
same thing."
Mr. Regan was first arrested in the summer of 2004 on an unlawful
restraint charge. He is accused of trying to force a co-worker in her
early 20's to have sex with him on a back porch at his parents' house
while they were away.
DNA evidence gathered in that arrest led the Waterbury police to charge
Mr. Regan with a second crime, an unsolved case from 1993 in which a
businesswoman said she was raped in her home. The police initially were
skeptical of her allegation, but the case remained open. In 2001, the
woman won a civil suit claiming the police mishandled the
investigation. Last year, Mr. Regan was charged with kidnapping in the
case because the statute of limitations for rape had expired.
Mr. Regan was fired from his job at ABC Supply after his arrests last
year. This fall, he was in Saratoga Springs working on property
belonging to his mother's family when he was arrested on Halloween.
Lt. Gary Forward of the Saratoga Springs police said Mr. Regan was
arrested on charges that he tried to abduct a student after track
practice, about 5:30 p.m.
"She came back to her car after track practice," Lieutenant Forward
said. "There was a blue-gray van parked next to her. She was putting
some things in the back seat, and she heard the van's sliding door
open. The man grabbed her around the torso and mouth and tried to drag
her into the van. She was able to get her mouth free, and she started
screaming for help."
One of the track coaches "confronted the guy," Lieutenant Forward said.
"He got back into the van, closed the door and drove away." Another
coach began chasing Mr. Regan, calling the police on his cellphone at
the same time and helping them pinpoint the location. Mr. Regan drove a
few blocks, and stopped just as the police arrived.
The publicized details of the arrest in Saratoga Springs, coupled with
the charges Mr. Regan already faced in Connecticut, prompted a broader
investigation of his life.
The Waterbury police say they are also investigating whether Mr. Regan
was involved in two murders, in the late 1980's, of prostitutes who
worked not far from where Mr. Regan lived.
In New York, the parents of Suzanne Lyall, a student at the State
University of New York at Albany when she disappeared from a shopping
mall in 1998, have asked the state police to revisit her case. In
Massachusetts, where Mr. Regan sometimes traveled when he was a
salesman for ABC Supply, the parents of Molly Bish, who was 16 when she
disappeared in 2000 from Warren, near Worcester, said elements of the
Saratoga Springs case paralleled their daughter's disappearance.
But John J. Conte, the district attorney in Worcester, who is
investigating the Bish case, said last week that his office had
confirmed that Mr. Regan was not in the area the day Molly disappeared,
June 27, 2000.
"Everybody's talking similarities and they're not talking facts," Mr.
Conte had said in an earlier interview. "They're all maybes: maybe it
lines up, maybe it's similar."
Cynthia S. Serafini, a senior assistant state's attorney for the
Waterbury judicial district, who is prosecuting Connecticut's two cases
against Mr. Regan, said, "I'm not aware of any evidence that links him
to any other crimes."
While speculation has swirled that Mr. Regan could be involved in
additional crimes, currently he has been charged with kidnapping,
unlawful restraint and stalking.
"The terrible danger in the way this has been publicized is that you
have people coming forward and making false accusations," said E.
Stewart Jones, Mr. Regan's lawyer in the Saratoga Springs case.

Do you still believe sex offenders aren't recitivists? Just because they
aren't *caught* doesn't mean they aren't still raping. I know this guy
hasn't been to prison *yet*, but he's typical of sex offenders. I don't
think anyone believes he raped that woman back in '93, and hasn't hurt
anyone since then.

Do you still think that a handful of cases in the news represents an average
sample? Do you think that if 100 sex offenders are let out, and five
re-offend, there is a news story about the other 95? Do you think that
anecdotes are more reliable than statistical studies?
Sheesh!

Nope, I think common sense rules out. Anybody in this day and age that
still believes sex offenders can be rehabilitated has his head stuck in the
sand, or 'up' someplace else not quite as nice as the sand, but I was being
proper tonight and not saying that one.
You just don't 'get it', do you bo? In order to rape in the first place,
one has to have a mindset that cares nothing for the victim. With that
particular mindset, you think the rapist is somehow magically going to come
to the understanding that forcing somebody to do something against their
will is *wrong*? Especially when that something is as powerful as sex. Do
you get a thrill thinking about forcing yourself upon someone? A rapist
does, and they aren't going to satisfy that 'thrill' by any other means.

Common sense requires that you know something about the subject. Have you
interviewed dozens of rapists? Much less hundreds? People have common
shared beliefs about sex offenders - most people believe for example that
molesters are strangers, not family friends or relatives. And the common
sense is compeltely wrong.

Then why is it that only a small percentage re-offend? There are different
kinds of offenders you know. The picture most people have about most crimes
is completely wrong.
Most people believe gunshot deaths are the result of somebody with a long
criminal history using a gun. That's false.
Most people believe that most child abductions are by strangers. That's
false.
And so forth. So much for what most people believe.

Really? That doesn't seem to explain date rape. In fact, psychologists
recognize that there are different kinds of rapists. Your putting them all
in one box just proclaims your ignorance. I think its willful.

Not magically. But from spending some years in prison.

Many people enjoy role playing such scenarios. And yet will never actually
rape someone (or wish to be a rape victim). Same thrill, different outcome.

But all rapists don't receive the same thrill, because they all don't act
from the same impulses. So you proceed from a false assumption.

Woman says Waterbury suspect trapped and assaulted her
Saturday, December 3, 2005
BY BEN CONERY
Republican-American
WATERBURY -- A 50-year-old woman has come forward with new allegations
against John Regan, claiming he sexually assaulted her nearly 24 years
ago.
The woman, whom the Republican-American is not identifying, told police
Regan trapped her in his truck and assaulted her on Memorial Day 1981.
The woman told police she disclosed her allegation recently after
learning that police sought information about Regan's past because of
his recent arrests.
On Thursday, Waterbury Superior Court Judge Frank Iannotti signed an
arrest warrant charging Regan with first-degree kidnapping as a result
of the woman's allegations. Police could not seek a warrant charging
Regan with sexual assault because the statute of limitations had
expired.
"Based on all the evidence we have, it's not surprising to me another
victim has come forward," said Waterbury Police Superintendent Neil
O'Leary. "This is another example of stereotypical behavior of a sexual
predator."
It was the fifth time Regan, the 49-year-old married father of three
from a prominent Waterbury family, has been charged with a crime
against a woman since August 2004.
In the 1981 case, the woman told police she and a friend attended a
Memorial Day cookout in the Columbia Boulevard area.
The woman said Regan, who was 24 at the time, also attended. She said
she had never met Regan before that day, but knew who he was. Their
fathers had grown up together and Regan's father, Frank G. "Scoop"
Regan Jr., was her dentist.
Regan, who was engaged to be married in a few months, struck up a
conversation with the woman, she said. Police said she mentioned to
Regan that she might be interested in two discarded chairs left on a
nearby curb for bulk waste pickup. Regan told her she could take them
and offered to use his truck to help her move them, she said.
Police said the woman agreed, but decided against taking the chairs
when she noticed the legs were broken.
Instead of returning to the cookout, police said, Regan drove to a
nearby alley and parked his truck.
The woman told police Regan pulled down his pants and tried to force
her to perform a sex act. She said he then grabbed her and pulled her
on top of him.
The woman said she tried to pull away and begged him to stop.
Regan eventually stopped, according to police, and drove back to the
cookout. The woman said she and her friend left immediately.
The woman told police she saw Regan again that July, but they didn't
speak.
She said she didn't tell police about the assault because she was
uncomfortable, scared and embarrassed. She only told her husband about
it 15 years ago.
Police said the woman felt guilty that she didn't come forward earlier
because it may have helped some of Regan's future alleged victims.
Regan is being held without bond in upstate New York, where he is
charged with trying to drag a girl into his van from a high school
parking lot on Halloween.
Waterbury State's Attorney John Connelly said he is still working with
New York authorities to determine when Regan will return to the city to
face this most recent charge. Waterbury authorities also must serve
Regan with an arrest warrant charging him with stalking a woman he was
previously accused of trying to force himself on sexually in August
2004.
Regan also faces charges in Waterbury stemming from a 1993 rape.
Police said they used DNA last year to link Regan to that crime. He
faces first-degree kidnapping charges in that case as well because the
statute of limitations for sexual assault had run out.
In all, Regan faces more than 145 years in prison if convicted of all
charges. He maintains his innocence and plans to fight all charges.

You can't believe I'd think or believe that one bo? Again, you don't have
kids, so you don't really know how/what parents tell their children.
Parents tell their children the worst case senario, to protect them from the
slight chance that someone bad might try to grab them up off the street.
Parents also *observe* their childrens behavior around family
friends/relatives. Notice whether suzy or johnny's reactions around anyone
in particular have *changed* in any way. While still talking to them from
little on about 'good touch/bad touch' and what parts of their bodies are
'private' and they don't have to listen to or obey ANYONE, no matter who it
is, who might want them to do ANYTHING that they *don't like/aren't
comfortable with*. Do you really think most people are that naive?

In the first place, how many 'date rapists' do you know who've actually gone
to prison for their crime? Most of those who have done hard time, were not
'date rapists'.
In fact, psychologists

So now you claim to be more knowledgeable about rape than oh say perhaps a
female who's 'been there'?
I think its willful.

Show's how naive you really are bo. Not the same thrill at all. Play
acting and role playing in sex, regardless of the scenario, is NOTHING like
the real thing. You think playing with some handcuffs or being tied up with
a silk scarf is anything like what happens in a real rape? Doesn't elicit
the same *thrills* at all. Role playing is simply that, role playing. With
each person in the *game* fantasizing their own *rolls* in the *game*. Each
person has the power to end the game whenever they should choose. It is
nothing like fearing for ones life.

Ah, the all-knowing bo has spoken and we should all simply heed his thoughts
because after all, we know he is an expert in rape motivations.

The fact is that among non-sexual violent crimes, over 60% are re-arrested
within three years. Among sex offenders, the re-arrest rate is under six
percent. That tells you something, doesn't it?
How about this:
http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps9890/lps9890/www.csom.org/pubs/mythsfacts.pdf
Take a look at the section titled: "Myth: Most sex offenders reoffend"

I claim that the studies by experts give more insight than the experience of
one victim. Do you think that the reoffend rate for, say, incest child
rapists is the same as for stranger child rapists? It isn't.

Stop putting words in my mouth. I said we are getting rid of programs that
can rehabilitate someone, I didn't say that there is no useful purpose to
locking offenders up. Notice for example that rapists with adult victims
have very different rearrest rates than rapists with child victims - doesn't
that tell you something? Especially in this day and age of offender
registries, when rapists are (rightly so) kept under close scrutiny for the
rest of their lives?

Ah, the all knowing tiny, who wants us to believe that being a rape victim
makes one an expert on rape.

Okay, once again slowly for you bo. Picture this:
You break into my house and steal my diamond rings. I call the cops and
report my diamond rings have been stolen, and I bet it's that damn bo raxo
who took 'em too. Because yesterday when he was here, he was eyein 'em up
big time. Cops come to bo raxo's house and say 'mr raxo, you sir are under
arrest for stealing dr. dancers diamond rings.' And back in the slammer you
go.
Second scenario:
I am unlocking my door to get into my house, and bo raxo comes up behind me,
shoves me into my house, slaps me across the face a couple times, yanks my
head back by my hair, and shoves me down on to the floor. Where he proceeds
to shove my shirt up over my face, rip my bra, and stick his grubby hands
down my pants. He smells of stale beer, drools on my face. And when he's
through, by the way, under no circumstances did I mistake this for a bit of
*role-playing*, mr raxo stands up and says "nobody will ever believe you
didn't invite me in here." "I didn't break your door down, no windows
broken to get in here." "So you tell anybody, and I'll just deny it, ya
hear?" After he leaves, I want nothing more than to get in my shower and
stay there for oh say three or four hours, washing off that drool and stale
beer smell from my body, let alone any other 'smells' that are making me
physically sick.
My point is, you bet your ass I'd call the cops and tell 'em you stole my
ring. The second scenario, not quite as clear cut. By the time I drag
myself out of the shower, try to comprehend what just happened, come to
terms with the fact that I'm still alive, and then wonder "what could *I*
have done to make mr. raxo do this to me?" Did the cops get called here at
all?
Sex crimes do not get reported the way other crimes do.

And that isn't the end of the story. Because, see, there are ways to study
these things, including polygraphing the offenders.
http://www.ccoso.org/newsletter/worthit.html
An Oregon study of sex offender monitoring using polygraphy indicated
dramatic success having offenders complete their probationary periods
without reoffenses.
In 1999 Margaret Alexander, Ph.D. (Oshkosh, Wis. Correctional Facility)
examined no less than 424 studies. After eliminating most of them because
they were poorly done she presented an analysis of the remaining 79studies
covering 10, 988 offenders with some being followed as long as ten years
post treatment. (Sexual Abuse; A Journal of Research and Treatment, 11(2)
Here are some of her findings.
a.. Over all, treated offenders reoffended at a rate of 11%, untreated at
17.6%
b.. True incest offenders have lower reoffense rates than other child
molesters. (5.3% with 5-year follow-up without treatment, no recidivism with
treatment, compares to 17.8% treated and 25% untreated for non-incestuous
child molesters.)
c.. When subjects were followed for as long as ten years, the "treatment
effect" weakened over time, but even in the tenth year, treated offenders
reoffended less untreated men.
d.. Men treated before 1980 (more traditional methods) reoffended at a
rate of 12.8%. while men treated after 1980 (present day methods) reoffended
at 7.4% (1993 data - not included in article)
Also in 1999, Grossman, Martis and Fichtner presented an analysis of Medline
literature and concluded that offenders treated with anti-androgen and / or
cognitive-behavioral therapy showed a robust treatment effect in the
neighborhood of 30%. (Psychiatric Services, 50(3) ) Recently released Data
from ATSA's collaborative database project also show a robust over-all
treatment effect.
Data from a variety of sources show that "some treatment is not better than
none" is an unwarranted attitude. Treatment dropouts reoffend at the same or
higher rates than do untreated offenders.

Well, it's fitting this guy has Alex Kelly's lawyer, since he seems to have
a similar MO. The woman should not feel guilty about not reporting the
assault many years ago. I'm sure with his money & family influence, Regan
would have gotten out of the above little mess.
I am always very curious about the wives of men like this. I wonder how
much she knew/knows and how much denial has been involved for her over the
years.
Thanks for the interesting posts, Patty.
