Christchurch Civic Creche investigation
Ross Francis made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
Response to this request is long overdue. By law New Zealand Police should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Ross Francis
Dear New Zealand Police,
Please send me copies of all communication between Dr Karen Zelas and Police between 1 February 1992 and 30 November 1992. This request is in regards to the investigation into employees of the Chrstchurch Civic Creche.
In October 1992, Detective Ken Legat handed Lesley Ellis a search warrant, giving police access to her Buffon St flat. They expected to find “instruments or sexual aids used in sexual offending”. An affidavit supporting the search warrant said that overseas studies and investigations showed that “this type of abuse on children have (sic) occurred in various crèches and play schools."
What overseas studies and invesitgations was the affidavit referring to? Please provide me with all records held by police in regards to this question.
Yours faithfully,
Ross Francis
