British paedophile took advantage of poor Malaysian families to abuse children as young as six months
Graphic details of dozens of sexual offences by Richard Huckle emerged for the first time Wednesday as his sentencing hearing started in London.
A British paedophile on Wednesday faced a life sentence after admitting a string of sex attacks on children as young as six months, some from poor Christian families in Malaysia.
Richard Huckle, 30, took pictures and video footage of himself abusing the children which he uploaded to the dark web – a hard to access part of the Internet often used for illegal activity.
Investigators found over 20,000 indecent images on his computer, while Huckle also kept a ledger of his attacks and wrote a manual called Paedophiles And Poverty: Child Lover Guide.
Graphic details of dozens of sexual offences by Huckle emerged for the first time Wednesday as his sentencing hearing started in London.
Huckle faced a total of 91 charges including against 23 children in Kuala Lumpur, where he set himself up as an English teacher.
Those images of child abuse will inevitably have been shared with other paedophiles
His victims were aged between six months and 12 years and the offences were committed between 2006 and 2014.
