A MOTHER'S STORY
The Civic Creche Child Sex Trial
Joy Bander
When a little boy needed his Mum to "believe me", it began a series
of events that ended with the jailing of Christchurch Creche worker Peter
Ellis for child sex crimes. Now, for the first time, that little boy's mother
is breaking her silence, so you can judge the evidence. This is her story
Back Cover:
It has become one of New Zealand's most controversial criminal
cases: the alleged sexual abuse of a group of children at a city council
operated creche.
Childcare worker Peter Ellis was convicted and jailed, but some people now
claim he is innocent - a victim of a Salem-style witch hunt.
The challenge is: read this book and decide for yourself whether the evidence
was sufficient to convict - were the children really abused?
You've heard the claims of those who believe Ellis is innocent. Now read the
testimony of the prosecution's chief witness, and don't make up your mind
until you reach the end.
Peter Ellis: guilty or innocent?
You be the judge
About the Author
Joy Bander is a pseudonym. The judge in the Civic creche trial
suppressed the identities of the children involved so, where necessary, names
have been changed.
