The
Christchurch Civic Creche Case |

|
Convicted Christchurch
child molester Peter Ellis is trying for an early release. He is due before a
parole board today to seek release from Paparua Prison, having served nearly
half his 10-year sentence. Ellis was found guilty
of sexually abusing children at the Christchurch Civic Creche between 1986
and 1992. In December, he filed a
petition with Governor-General Sir Michael Hardie Boys for a pardon. The petition was filed
after a television report highlighted possible irregularities. It
was expected the petition would take up to three months to process. |
