More than 10 years after the bizarre Christchurch Civic Creche case -- and
three years after former creche worker Peter Ellis finished his jail sentence
for sex abuse convictions arising from the case -- Ellis again found himself
the reluctant centre of attention.
Dunedin writer
Lynley Hood, convinced that the creche case was a gross injustice, continued
her campaign to overturn the conviction, helping drive a high-profile
petition seeking a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the saga.
Despite the formidable array of signatories, including past Prime Ministers
and senior legal figures, the Government has resisted the demand.
