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.
