The Press A prominent Christchurch private detective is continuing to work for the Stewart family, which is determined to clear family member Peter Stewart. Last month, the Court of Appeal dismissed Stewart's bid to have his sex convictions overturned. Stewart, 62, the son of the late Christchurch plastics magnate Sir Robertson Stewart and husband of New Zealand Fashion Week owner Pieter Stewart, was jailed in February for 3 1/2 years. He is serving his sentence in Rolleston Prison. Last December, he was convicted on five historic charges of indecency with a girl, one count of sodomy and one of rape. Former detective inspector David Haslett had been hired to collect information to upset the convictions, the family said. |
