In brief: Forced freedom for Ellis
NZPA
Wellington: Convicted child abuser Peter Ellis might be forced into
accepting freedom with parole conditions attached, Victoria University law
professor Warren Young said yesterday.
He said Ellis, convicted on 13 child-abuse charges, would have no choice but
to leave prison when he finished serving two-thirds of his 10-year sentence
in February if he was not freed before then.
Maintaining his innocence has already cost Ellis two chances of early parole,
the latest just a few weeks ago.
