Ellis seeks bail

The lawyer acting for convicted child abuser Peter Ellis is seeking bail for him for the second time this year.

Ellis has always maintained his innocence of the 13 convictions of child abuse at the Christchurch Civic Creche for which he was jailed more than five years ago.

Lawyer Judith Ablett-Kerr confirmed she would apply for his bail tomorrow at the Appeal Court in Wellington ahead of a new Appeal Court hearing.
