Disgraced anti-gay 'morals' campaigner Graham Capill has a slim chance of parole at his hearing this month, reports the NZ Herald. Graham Capill The former Christian Heritage Party leader was sentenced to nine years' jail in 2005 after pleading guilty to charges of sexual molestation and rape involving girls between the ages of five and twelve. "He is looking forward to freedom but is probably a bit surprised he is being considered for parole right now," supporter and Richmond New Life Church elder Chris Baigent told the newspaper. "He knows there's not much chance of it." Baigent said that Capill was still awaiting placement on a Corrections-run programme for convicted child-sex offenders, and there was little chance of parole until he had completed it. Capill's wife and some of his children have stood by him, visiting him in jail regularly. This story continues on the link below.
