Ellis won't admit guilt - lawyer
NZPA

Convicted paedophile Peter Ellis won't sign parole documents if they imply he was rightfully convicted, his lawyer, Judith Ablett Kerr, QC, said yesterday. Ellis will be released from Paparoa Prison, near Christchurch, on February 2, having served the mandatory two-thirds of his sentence. Ellis has maintained his innocence since being convicted in 1993 of numerous sex abuse charges against children in his care at the Christchurch Civic Creche.
