Ellis the victim?
NZPA

The author of a long-awaited book on the Christchurch Civic Childcare Centre case has concluded that convicted child abuser Peter Ellis was the victim of a witch-hunt. Writing in Touchy Subject -- Teachers Touching Children, a collection of articles on the shift in the relationship between teachers and young children, author Lynley Hood said she found no evidence of illegality by anyone accused in the case.
