Ellis will be
released from prison 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 Crèche. The Parole Board

that presume him to have been rightfully convicted". |
