Huckle gets 22 life sentences


LONDON: British paedophile Richard Huckle was sentenced to life in prison by a London court for abusing 23 Malaysian and Cambodian babies and children for over almost a decade.

Huckle, 30, stood in the dock at London’s Old Bailey court with his hands clasped together as if in prayer as he was told he would have to serve at least 25 years behind bars for his crimes against impoverished victims aged six months to 11 years.
