33-year-old Richard Huckle, who had sexually assaulted over 200 children, was stabbed to death in his cell at the Full Sutton Prison in York today (14th October 2019), as reported by BBC.
Police had found more than 20,000 obscene images and videos of his assaults, which led to him being sentenced to 22 lifetimes in jail for up to 71 charges of sexual abuse of children aged 6-months-old to 12-years-old, from 2006 to 2014. He was believed to have abused over 200 children mainly from poor communities throughout the world.
He admitted to all his charges.

According to BBC, he even wrote a 60-page pedophile manual, which the judge in his case described as ‘a truly evil document’, and boasted of his exploits online, once writing, “Impoverished kids are definitely much easier to seduce than middle-class Western kids.”
Huckle was arrested in 2014 after officers in Australia’s Task Force Argos alerted British authorities to Huckle’s plan to return to Britain for the Christmas holidays. He was initially charged with 91 counts of abuse regarding 23 children from poor Christian communities in Kuala Lumpur, whom he groomed while posing as a Christian missionary.

He was particularly noted for his “delight in abusing babies and toddlers”, according to a National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children spokesperson.
“I’d hit the jackpot, a 3yo girl as loyal to me as my dog and nobody seemed to care.”
Huckle, originally spent a year in Malaysia during a study break from 2005 to 2006, posed as a teacher, photographer and devout Christian. He regularly returned to assist with local churches and the local community, before deciding to permanently move to Malaysia in 2010.
In addition to Malaysia, he travelled across South-East Asia, making stops in Singapore, Laos and India.
Considering how disgusting he is, good riddance.
