Dear Mr Francis,

 

I refer to your Official Information request of 12 September 2018,
received by Police:

 

“In November 1997, former Detective Colin Eade told reporter Melanie Reid
that there were ”more than ten offenders” in the Christchurch Civic Crèche
(Peter Ellis) case.

Exactly how many suspected offenders did Police identify and how many of
these were female? Were any of the 20 child complainants given diagnostic
interviews?

If so, how many of the child complainants underwent such interviews? How
many formal evidential interviews did each of the complainants undergo?”

 

We apologize for the delay in processing your request-it was missed due to
administrative error.

 

Your request is being actioned pursuant to the Official Information Act
1982.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Hannah Wright-McCarthy

Ministerial Services Officer
