Abuse probe widened
NZPA
Christchurch police are widening
their investigation into the latest complaint laid against Peter Ellis, to
include two other people the alleged victim claims also abused him.
A young Christchurch
man laid a formal complaint in January 2001 alleging he was sexually abused
by Ellis and others when he was a boy at the Christchurch Civic Childcare
Centre. The man, now 20, was not party to the original police inquiries in
1992-93 which resulted in Ellis being sentenced to 10 years' jail for his
conviction on 13 charges of abusing children in his care.
Ellis, who has always maintained his innocence, was released from prison in
February 2000 after serving seven years.
