Ellis bail ruled on but not announced
NZPA
Christchurch: A decision has been made about whether convicted child
abuser Peter Ellis will get out of jail on bail - but it will remain secret
until at least Monday.
Ellis' mother, Lesley, yesterday said she knew nothing about the result of
Thursday's bail application, heard at a hearing closed to the public.
Lawyer Judith Ablett-Kerr had applied to Appeal Court judges in Wellington for bail for
Ellis, ahead of his reappearance in the Appeal Court later this year.
Mrs Ablett-Kerr refused to comment yesterday on any aspect of the bail
application before a decision was released.
Ellis is in his sixth year of a 10-year jail sentence after being convicted
on 13 charges of child abuse at the Christchurch Civic Creche.
