CONFESSED British child molester Richard Huckle took Malaysian children with him to church and regularly roamed an impoverished Kuala Lumpur neighborhood to snap pictures of kids, those who met him said yesterday.
But several people said they had seen no reason to suspect Huckle of the sickening pattern of child sex abuse that could see him locked up for life.
Huckle, 30, will be sentenced on Monday, a judge said yesterday.
The sentencing for the prolific pedophile had been expected yesterday but the judge said he wanted to consider mitigating factors put before him by Huckle’s lawyers, notably a letter of remorse.
Judge Peter Rook said his sentencing would begin at England’s Old Bailey central criminal court in London at 10am on Monday.
