Peter Ellis
Letter to the Editor
by R.E.Mawson, Mosgiel
The children
involved in the Peter Ellis Christchurch Civic creche case have clearly been
abused. If they have not been sexually abused by Mr Ellis, as seems obvious,
despite the latest "investigation", then they have been emotionally
and psychologically abused by the New Zealand justice system which
continues to encourage them to believe that they have been sexually abused.
To pardon Peter Ellis is to find the system guilty. Perhaps this is the
reason for the narrowness of the inquiry which gave the Ministry of Justice
the answer it wanted. If this case requires a royal commission to look at all
the evidence, rather than the small amount on which the convictions were
based, then let's get on with it.
