Richard
Huckle, Britain’s worst paedophile, was stabbed to death on October 13, 2019.
Good that there is one last paedophile on earth now.
Richard William Huckle (14 May 1986 – 13 October 2019) was a convicted British
serial sex
offender. He was arrested by Britain's National Crime Agency after a tip-off from
Australian Police and convicted of 71 counts of serious sexual assaults against
children while posing as a teacher, photographer and devout Christian
in Malaysia.
Huckle
has been described as one of Britain's worst ever paedophiles,
placing him alongside Robert Black, Sidney
Cooke, Ian Watkins, and Jimmy
Savile, despite being only 28 years old at the time of his arrest. On 6
June 2016, he was given 22 life sentences with a minimum prison term of 25
years before being eligible to apply for parole.
On
13 October 2019, Huckle was stabbed to death in his cell at HMP
Full Sutton.

Britain's
most depraved paedophile Richard Huckle has been stabbed to death in his
cell with a makeshift 'shiv' knife, it was revealed today.
Huckle,
33, was ordered to serve at least 25 years behind bars for 191 sexual offences
against children as young as six months after a trial at the Old Bailey in
2016.
Yesterday
his bloodied-body was found 'slumped' in his top floor cell at HMP Full
Sutton, a Category A jail near York housing many of Britain's most notorious
and violent prisoners.
A
fellow inmate has been put in isolation as Humberside Police prepares to launch
a murder investigation.
A
spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said: 'HMP Full Sutton prisoner Richard
Huckle died on October 13.
'It
would be inappropriate to comment further while a police investigation is
ongoing.'
A
friend of one of his victims had screamed: 'A thousand deaths is too good for
you' as he was taken down from the Old Bailey dock after his five-week trial
three years ago.
Masquerading
as a devout Christian, Huckle spent years targeting care homes and orphanages
while teaching English and photography in Malaysia and
Cambodia.
The
so called 'Gap Year' paedophile bragged about the abuse in a twisted blog in
which he awarded himself 'PedoPoints' for the ferocity of his sexual
assaults.
He
even filmed himself raping children and babies. From the age of 19 he amassed a
staggering 20,000 images of child abuse that he sold for profit.
Investigators
believe he would have attacked hundreds more children had he not been caught in
2014 when Australian police uncovered a network of paedophiles on the 'dark'
web.
He
was arrested by the National Crime Agency after flying home to visit his family
for Christmas in 2015.
Huckle
maintained his innocence to police but later confessed to his parents.
Horrified, they begged police to take him away.
In the worst case of its kind at the Old
Bailey he admitted an unprecedented 71 charges over eight years, including
rape, sexual assault and sexual activity with a child.

As he was taken from the dock an
onlooker shouted from the public gallery: 'A thousand deaths is too good for
you. I know one of those families. They mean nothing to you.'
Judge Peter Rook QC said
Huckle posed a substantial risk for an indefinite period: 'This was a prolonged
campaign of rape of the children from a small community.
'You targeted and groomed
impoverished children and their families in a poor community, no doubt seeking
to impress them with your relative wealth as a Westerner.
'That community was particularly
vulnerable because of its poverty. Your offending became entrenched in everyday
life, your life revolved around abusing children.
'Your distorted beliefs are
deep-seated, your self-delusion knows no bounds. You were and are sexually
obsessed with children. 'It is clear from your postings on hidden encrypted
paedophile websites on the dark web, and from the manual you were in the
process of drafting, that your life revolved around your obsession with your
own sexual gratification by child sex abuse. It is also clear that, had you not
been arrested, you planned to continue the same lifestyle.'
Huckle, who used churches he
attended in Kent as a 'stepping stone' to gain access to victims abroad, sat
with his hands clasped together as if in prayer as he was sentenced.
The judge said a 60-page child
abuse manual he penned instructing others on how to target victims was a 'truly
evil document'.
Huckle passed a short letter
through the glass dock before sentencing, in which he claimed he was disgusted
with his behaviour.
But the judge said he showed no
remorse or understanding of the public abhorrence over his campaign of rape. He
added: 'In my view, you may well harbour feelings of regret but there is no
feeling of genuine remorse in this case.'
Investigators have been unable to
identify Huckle's victims as he has refused to hand over encrypted passwords to
hidden files on his computer.
He was prosecuted over the abuse
of 23 children, but officers managed to uncover more than 20,000 indecent
images and videos.
Anthony Hill, of the Crown
Prosecution Service, said: 'It is hard to put into words the sheer depravity.
For almost nine years, Richard Huckle subjected at least 23 children, some of
them very young, to the most horrifying abuse imaginable.
'He deliberately targeted and
groomed vulnerable communities to gain their trust. He took photographs of the
abuse to upload on the dark web to share worldwide.'
An NSPCC spokesman said: 'Huckle
is a frighteningly depraved paedophile who bragged about raping babies and
delighted in abusing infants who trusted him.
'He left a trail of devastation
and his sentence reflects the severity of his crimes. It is horrifying that
Huckle was able to profit from this appalling abuse.'
