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 and convicted of 71 counts of serious sexual assaults against children while posing as a teacher, photographer and devout Christian in Malaysia.[1] He was born in Ashford, Kent.
Huckle was seen as one of Britain's worst ever paedophiles, despite being only 28 years old at the time of his arrest.[2][3][4] 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 in East Riding of Yorkshire at the age of 33.[5]
