The former Riverhead High School principal accused of sexually abusing an 18-year-old student is facing a possible default judgement in the civil case against him after he failed to appear for a conference in federal court Tuesday.
Magistrate Judge Steven Tiscione of the Eastern District Court of New York has ordered Charles Regan to appear on telephone conference June 11 to show cause why a default judgement should not be entered against him.
Mr. Regan has not been in contact with the court or any attorneys in the case in more than a year, according to the judge’s filing. In February 2020, he fired the attorneys he had initially hired to represent him and despite urging from that firm and the judge to seek new counsel, court records show he has not yet done so and is currently representing himself by default.
Tom and Doris Barker began their freshman year at WSU in the fall of 1949 and were married by their junior year in 1952.
Tom was a camp counselor at Camp Orkila on Orcas Island where Doris attended summer camp growing up, daughter Nancy Carney said. The two formally met at Simpson United Methodist Church in Pullman.
They were part of a church group for WSU students called the Wesley Foundation, Carney said.
Many of the church members married each other, including Doris’s brother and his wife, said daughter Betsy Wharton.
“When I think about their reunions, I think they had at least 10 couples from within the group,” she said.

A federal judge has dismissed claims against the Riverhead Central School District and several district officials in a civil lawsuit regarding sexual misconduct by its former high school principal, court records show.
All claims against the principal, Charles Regan, are ongoing.
In a decision issued Monday, U.S. District Court Judge William F. Kuntz II dismissed several claims of civil rights violations against the district, including those arising from allegations suggesting other school officials knew about the misconduct of Mr. Regan and past indiscretions allegedly reported in another district.
