Earlier this week charges against Dr. Thomas O’Leary
in connection with slapping a 6-year old patient in October of 2013 were dismissed in
East Brookfield District Court.
However, according to Timothy Connolly, a spokesman
for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early, Judge Maura McCarthy did so without prejudice.
The charges stemmed from an October 2013 office
visit to Harrington Physician Services, where O'Leary worked at the time. According
to the Telegram & Gazette, O'Leary was with the boy, being treated for
ADHD, and his father, when the boy removed his shirt to throw it at the father.
