Introducing: Conviction: The Christchurch Civic Creche Case

What really happened at the Christchurch Civic Creche in the late 1980s and early 1990s? Was Peter Ellis wrongly convicted or should we believe the children. Listen to RNZ's new podcast and make up your own mind. To see more images and details about Peter Ellis and the series, vist the website here. In the early 1990's Aotearoa's garden city Christchurch was torn apart by accusations of child sexual abuse at a creche owned by the City Council. The story begins when a four year old boy makes the comment "I don't like Peter's black penis". This comment would propel 30-year-old childcare worker Peter Ellis into a nightmare which saw him spend seven years in prison for crimes he says he did not commit. Yet the children and families who accused Ellis are adamant he committed the crimes and that the results of his actions will be with them forever. Both sides of this story are convinced of their version of events. But three decades on the ripples from this case are still being felt right across New Zealand. This 12-part podcast has all the details from one of New Zealand's most controversial child abuse cases, from the people who were there. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
