Richard Huckle Biography

Richard Huckle is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on May 14, 1986 in Ashford, England, United Kingdom. The full extent of Huckle’s crimes was revealed for the first-time during the hearings. Brian O’Neill, QC, the prosecution presented evidence that Huckle committed a series of crimes which began in Huckle’s gap year of 2006 and continued for between eight and nine years before he was arrested in 2014. These included the rape and distribution of child pornography to children under 12, child abuse, possession and distribution, and creation of child pornography. His victims were aged between 6 and 12 years. One was abused in a nappy and another for many years. Huckle was a member of The Love Zone, a dark web website that is hidden from public view and accessible only by anonymous means. He shared images of his crimes with others on the website. He posted comments about his crimes to other paedophiles such as “Hit The Jackpot, a three year-old girl as loyal as my dog and nobody seemed care” and “Impoverished children are definitely easier to seduce then middle-class kids.” He admitted to sexually abusing four children from the same family in a series post. He was awarded points for sexually abusing children. However, he could not earn points if he used the same child twice in the same week. Prosecutors revealed 29 victims, more than 20,000 photos, and videos. However, they believe there could have been 200 victims from Southeast Asia. They also suspect that Huckle may have thousands of photos hidden in encrypted areas on Huckle’s computer, which authorities are unable to access. Because he refused to give police access to the encrypted data, the vast majority of his child abuse was not recovered. Only a small percentage of his videos, photographs and other documents were found by police.

Police assumed the identity of McCoole and ran his site to catch other paedophiles. In doing so, police rescued 85 children from ongoing abuse and arrested hundreds. One member that stood out was Huckle, due to the number of children he had abused and the attitude of his posts. After discovering his real identity, they learned that he was due to return to the United Kingdom to spend Christmas with his family and immediately alerted the National Crime Agency. He was arrested at Gatwick airport on 19 December 2014.

On 19 December 2014, Huckle was arrested by officers from Britain’s National Crime Agency at London’s Gatwick Airport and questioned on suspicion of serious offences against children. His arrest followed an earlier tip-off from Task Force Argos, a highly specialised branch of Australia’s Queensland Police Service responsible for the investigation of on-line child exploitation and abuse. Huckle initially refused to answer officers’ questions and was bailed under the condition that he stay at his parents’ house, while his camera, mobile phone, laptop and computer hard drives were seized.

Huckle spent a gap-year in Malaysia between 2005 and 2006. After returning to Malaysia, he worked in local churches and helped out with local communities before moving permanently to Malaysia in 2010.

Huckle was charged under Section 72 of 2003’s Sexual Offences Act. This allows British nationals to be tried in the United Kingdom and convicted for child sex offenses committed overseas. This is a strategy known as extraterritorial jurisdiction, and it was welcomed by child protection organizations.

Richard Huckle completed a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) course in 2008 which provides training to individuals to teach adult learners. Following the course, we have no records to indicate he was ever engaged as a teacher in Malaysia with us, either for adult students or children.

The National Crime Agency responded to the comments from the Malaysian authorities, stating that they revealed enough details to be able to help the charities but were unable to provide full details until the prosecution was completed. For the same reason, severe media restrictions were put in place, which prevented anybody from reporting the story until the British Government had taken steps to ensure that all of Huckle’s material had been taken down and that steps had been taken to protect his victims from other predators. On 6 June 2016, however, the National Crime Agency referred itself to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, due to the fact that they were aware of Huckle’s continued attendance at two churches in the UK up until the time of his re-arrest in January 2015 but did not contact them until sentencing had already begun. The IPCC will look into whether the NCA had acted appropriately and whether more could have been done to determine whether Huckle abused any children in the UK through his relationship with the churches.

The National Crime Agency received criticism from the Malaysian Government, as well as a number of child protection charities in Malaysia, for their handling of the case. Officers from the NCA travelled to Malaysia to engage local charities, who performed child protection workshops in the community where Huckle lived, but they were kept in the dark about the gravity of his crimes. The Malaysian Government stated that they would like further details of the victims so they can offer counselling. On 4 June 2016, the Attorney General of Malaysia, Tan Mohamed Apandi Ali, stated that he was in the process of contacting his counterpart in the UK, and the British High Commissioner in Kuala Lumpur, to obtain information about the case, which would help his investigation into the crimes and his efforts to help Huckle’s victims.

In August 2016, in response to the criticism following the Huckle case, Najib Razak announced that a special task force had been set up to investigate how Malaysia’s child protection laws could be redrafted to take into account the new ways that child sexual predators such as Huckle were preying on Malaysian children, with the aim of having a new version ready by the end of the year.

At an initial hearing at the Old Bailey, in January 2016, Huckle pleaded not guilty to all 91 charges, which took over an hour to read in court, and prosecutors started to prepare three separate trials as they did not believe a jury should be subjected to all of the graphic evidence that would be presented in a single trial. In April, during a preliminary trial hearing, Huckle pleaded guilty to 71 of the 91 charges he was facing after a request to watch all of the evidence against him in court. As a result of his confession, prosecutors decided not to pursue a prosecution against the remaining 20 charges, and asked that they lie on file, to spare a jury the horror of having to watch graphic images and videos of child abuse since the 71 charges which Huckle admitted to would be sufficient for a lengthy sentence.
