Ellis denied parole
NZPA

Convicted child sex offender Peter Ellis has been denied parole for the second time.

Ellis, 40, continued to maintain his innocence when he appeared before a parole board at Paparua Prison, near Christchurch, last Thursday.

In its decision released yesterday, the board said Ellis' continued stance meant it had to decline parole.

Ellis' counsel, Judith Ablett Kerr, QC, later said Ellis had read the board's "entirely predictable" decision. –
