A British man jailed for numerous sex crimes against Malaysian children has been found stabbed to death in prison.

Richard Huckle, from Ashford, Kent, abused as many as 200 children.

In 2016, he was given 22 life sentences after admitting 71 charges of sex abuse of children aged between six months and 12 years, between 2006 and 2014.

It is understood he was attacked in his cell at Full Sutton Prison, near York, with what was described as a makeshift knife.

His trial at the Old Bailey in 2016 heard that investigators who checked his computer found more than 20,000 indecent pictures and videos of his assaults.

These were shared with paedophiles worldwide through a hidden website on the so-called dark web.

At the end of Huckle’s trial, Judge Peter Rook said his sentence reflected the “public abhorrence” over his “campaign of rape”.

He said: “It is very rare indeed that a judge has to sentence sexual offending by one person on such a scale as this.”

Huckle, who worked as a freelance photographer, was arrested at Gatwick Airport by National Crime Agency officials in December 2014, following a tip-off by Australian authorities.

He first visited Malaysia on a teaching gap year when he was 18 or 19. He then went on to groom children while doing voluntary work.

Huckle was compiling a paedophile’s manual at the time of his arrest.

Good.

 

Wow. Deep. Why is ANY answer, however bad, worth reading?

 

Never said all answers were worth reading. Just saying, if you ask me a question then I'll have an answer for you. Even if that answer is "I don't know" or "the answer to life is 42".

 

even inmates have standards.

 

Good. Hopefully he was froced into multiple "prison marriages" beforehand.

 

Bad...

He's being cheated out of his sentence.

 

You sound kinky..

 

I love a story with a happy ending

 

And American tax payers are no longer giving this....thing... free room and board the rest of his life...that's better.

 

Unless his family sue for wrongful death or some other crap like that.

We should just execute these people with a single $0.25 round to the back of the head immediately after trial.
No endless appeals, no last meal, no housing that costs half a million a year.

 

It's not good. If we want this person dead - and I for one agree that he should be killed - then we should kill this person. "Allowing" the prisoners to kill him is vigilante justice.

The problem is that it is not just the pedophiles that get raped and brutalized in prison - this happens to a whole lot of other people in prison for non violent crimes. These people eventually get out of prison and are released in to society - people who have now become monsters - monsters of our own creation - release on society.

 

Vigilanti justice is sometimes good when the system fails...yes it should be curbed...but in cases like this I have no problem with it.

 

I'd agree that his crimes are worthy of capital punishment, but we'll never see that come to fruition. Since there's ultimately no curbing what inmates will do to one another, I'm nonchalant when the worst happens to the worst.

 

I think government owes inmates the probability of surviving their sentences. While I rather like this outcome, the fact that it happened in prison is a problem for me.

 

He was British.

 

It is not about this guy ... he got what he deserved. I like the Rule of Law .. I think we should follow it. I have respect for rules like "Punishment should Fit the Crime" - and definitely being raped fit his crime ... eye for eye - tooth for tooth style.

A trip to jail should not involve the possibility - of being raped. That is not a suitable punishment for smoking pot.

So while we all cheers - and make toasts - to this fellow getting what he deserved ... we should also remember those who didn't.

 

I respond to a similar comment in post 17.

 

Ok then the British Taxpayers are no longer giving him free room and board. :shrugs: No matter what prison he was in both the people in the world in general and the taxpayers that had to pay for him to live are better off with him dead. ESPECIALLY the children.

 

Pretty sure that no one wishes a pot smoker to be raped in jail or prison. Only time that I really see people agree with this kind of action is for things like this. I have no problem with that. And while I like the Rule of Law also, I recognize that there are times to go and tell it to go screw itself. I'll even give you an example from my own life, briefly though as there's no need to go into great detail.

There was this girl and her brother that I knew in my early twenties who were afraid to go home because their parents had been drinking and when drunk they were at times, not exactly violent but close to it. I told them they could stay at my apartment and when the parents came for them I refused to let them in the door. The cops were called. I explained what was going on and while they forced the kids to go with the parents not a single charge was brought against me even though the cops very well could have. They understood, just like I do, that some times the law should not apply in certain circumstances.

 

Unless you could keep each inmate separated 24hrs a day, there's no preventing sexual and physical assault.

 

Pfff. The American taxpayers were paying up for a life sentence given to a man who stole 50 bucks. So if the American tax payer is willing to pay for having a black man behind bars over virtually nothing, than they sure shouldn't whine about paying for this.

 

I don't see how your anecdote is a violation of the Rule of Law in general - and in particular - not this rule.

Why you would want to throw out the rule book - on the basis of some persons anecdote (suppose some one came up with a reasonable one - you didn't but assume one was out there)

Either there is a rule book or there is not. The issue under debate is our judicial and penal system violating the rule of law .. in specific - "the punishment should fit the crime".

My claim was simply that we should not be toasting the fact that our judicial system violates this rule.

 

Do you have any evidence for this claim from with in the last 20-30 years?

Let me guess though, you recently read about Alvin Kennard didn't you? Did you bother to look into what he did? First degree robbery and he had a criminal history ta boot. In case you didn't know robbery in the first degree is only given to those who use some type of weapon in the commission of the robbery and/or committed violence in the commission of a robbery. Combined with his record of past felonies and the habitual felony act that Alabama had the courts had no choice but to sentence him to that amount of time at the time he was convicted in the 80's. It wasn't just that he stole 50 bucks. Its that he was a violent criminal with a past history of felony convictions.

Now, if he had simply stole $50 bucks then I would agree with you. But he didn't. He did much more.

 

Wait what? How did our judicial and penal system violate the rule of law? Is there something that I missed here? The guy in the OP was a complete scum bag that was sentenced to 22 life sentences.
