CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND RITUAL ABUSE CASES

Christchurch Civic Crèche

Peter Ellis, a child-care worker at the Christchurch Civic Crèche in New Zealand, was found guilty on 16 counts of sexual abuse against children in 1992 and served seven years in jail. Parents of the alleged abuse victims were entitled to claim NZ$10,000 (equivalent to about US$11,000 in 2010) in compensation for each allegation from the Accident Compensation Corporation, regardless of whether the allegations were proved or not. Many victims' families made multiple allegations. Four female co-workers were also arrested on 15 charges of abuse, but were released after these charges were dropped. Together with six other co-workers who lost their jobs when the centre was closed, they were awarded $1 million in compensation by the Employment Court in 1995, although this sum was reduced on appeal. Peter Ellis has consistently denied any abuse, and the case is still considered controversial by many New Zealanders.[76]

Other Christchurch Cases

Prior to the crèche case, there were a number of other multi-victim abuse panics in the city. It has been alleged that a single group of social workers was involved in all four hoaxes. No charges were laid in any of the cases:

  • The Ward 24 case was named after the children's ward of Christchurch Hospital. In 1988, the New Zealand television program Frontline revealed that large numbers of children had been diagnosed as having been sexually abused (often by their fathers) and removed from their families. These conclusions were based on manipulative interviews of children at the hospital. An investigation found the allegations to be baseless.

  • The Glenelg Health Camp in Christchurch is one of a network of camps for underprivileged children in New Zealand. In the late 1980's many, perhaps dozens, of children mass-misdiagnosed as having been victims of sexual assault, often by their fathers. The charges were later totally discredited.

  • A family in Christchurch were subjected to allegations that the father was sexually abusing his children. The allegations were later found to be baseless.

  • A belief circulated about a massive sex and kiddy-porn ring involving prominent adults in the Christchurch community - including businessmen, judges and members of the Masonic order. The police conducted an investigation in the late 1980's and early 1990's but turned up nothing.
