Police speak for first time about Civic Creche case


The police officer who helped send convicted child abuser Peter Ellis to jail has spoken out for the first time about the case

Colin Eade, a former detective, says he's still convinced of Ellis's guilt - despite the doubts of many who believe he's innocent.

Ellis has now served four years of a ten year sentence after being convicted on sexual abuse charges of children in his care at the Christchurch Civic Creche

Mr Eade believes a number of as yet unidentified abusers involved with Ellis remain in the community.
