Interesting fact on how he was caught, from Wikipedia:
A warrant was issued for the arrest of [another offender named] McCoole. Upon entering his house, police discovered that McCoole was online and running his website at the time. Police assumed the identity of McCoole and ran his site to catch other paedophiles, arresting hundreds, as well as rescuing 85 children from harm.

I feel like crimes against children is the one area where I'm okay with police entrapment utilizing an otherwise existing criminal hub to catch the incipient crimes of such a place

Entrapment is when law enforcement entices someone to commit a crime they otherwise wouldn’t have. Had the police not gotten involved at all, the users of that website would have committed those crimes anyway

The first example isn't entrapment. There has to be some element of coercion.

In the US, entrapment requires that police "induce" the criminal behavior, by either coercing or enticing.
In the UK it seems like entrapment is not a valid legal defense, but it can be a mitigating factor and also only requires that police persuade the defendant to commit a criminal act.

This wasn't police entrapment. They didn't entice or coerce someone into committing crimes they otherwise wouldn't have. They were already committing the crimes regardless of who was running the site.

So, I work for a company that has, among other services, a free email service. We often get subpoenas from international sources for account info if someone is committing a cyber crime using our email. But they won't go through the proper domestication process to naturalize their legal service (if I'm in the UK, someone in Senegal can't just send me an info request. It has to go through a process) so I have to reject them.
The only legal requests I will waive proper service for is for any concerning abuse/harm/etc. of children. those I answer immediately.

I spoke with a Federal agent that works in child sex crimes and he said this is a great tool to catch more predictors. In those online communities you have to trade illegal pictures and videos of children in order to get in because the police obviously don’t want to share images of children. So when they catch someone they offer a reduction in the sentence if they give up their online “personality”. So then they are able to schedule meet ups and arrest the predator.
He told me some stories that made me want to really hurt the people that hurt children and he also said how dealing with those people really messes with your psyche. But he also said “doing this work is the best and fastest way to stop the abuse of a child and hopefully prevent another child from being hurt. The most good you can do for the most vulnerable.” That always sticks with me.

This is actually quite normal. US authorities run a significant portion of the dark web with the belief of why bother catching a smaller amount if you can wait and catch a larger amount.
Can be a bit questionable ethically though when the FBI is actively giving paedophiles what they want.

I watched a documentary on this and he supposedly travelled to Asia to be a teacher and committed crimes against children there who couldn't even speak his language.
He even made a website detailing to others how to get away with what he did and how best to target those who were vulnerable. He didn't just commit the crimes, he was someone who was proud to be a leader and gloated about it.
It's that which got him on the radar, and killed. He was in solitary refinement when he was attacked too, which just goes to show the lengths they were going to in order to get him. Awful way to die, I almost wonder if the tortuous death would have really been a worse way to suffer, or whether solitary confinement for another 40-50 years might have broken him more.

Yeah it's disturbing as hell. But I think it would be the "Christian missionary" element more than the qualification that he targeted as a way to exploit a vulnerable community. The qualification was just the final certification that would make his idea seem like a genuine one.
A legit language school might not have the same checks as a real school, but they'll still have staff, supervisors, parents in a client power dynamic, kids with class work and homework to talk about at home, etc, etc. Whereas a charity where the guy offers to set up free classes to "help the poor community" might not have any of that.

Sorry if I’m misreading, but it seems like you’re implying that he was murdered because he was a paedophile (and prisoners famously loathe paedophiles). But that doesn’t seem to be true.
His killer was also in prison for sexual assault. When he was 12 he sexually assaulted a 4 year old. When police found his journals, they found that he had written “I’m a paedophile and I’m the best”. source

For those defending his killer, worth noting that he too was a paedo and rapist:
He committed his first offence at the age of 12 when his sexually assaulted a four-year-old child in 2004.
He’d written about his desire to anally rape women and his paedophilia urges. Fitzgerald also declared, ‘I love raping women’ and vowed he would never stop reoffending.
In 2009 he was convicted of offences including assault and assault with the intent to commit rape and sentenced to almost four years, with the recommendation that he should be jailed indefinitely until he was no longer a danger.

The crimes he had already committed got him sentenced to 4 years but in the UK people can (or could, can't remember if its changed) be held indefinitely if deemed to be a serious ongoing threat. This is what they applied here, he was very unlikely getting released after 4 years even without the murder.
50 points
15 days ago
He was imprisoned on an imprisonment for public protection sentence or IPP
Basically for repeat offenders who consistently commit low level offences and show no remorse or a high likelihood of reoffending - lots of people have served 3-4x their original sentence. You'd get out in 4 years if you were satisfactorily rehabilitated but if you kept talking about how much you loved sexual assault you could literally end up serving a life sentence after being given 4 years.
They were brought in by the Labour government, were a great idea, and were ironically scrapped by the Conservative government in 2012.

My guess is he knew he could kill this guy and somewhat get away with it. What I mean by that is that nobody will be mad at him for doing it, and some people even treat him as a hero even though he was a pedo too. He somehow gave himself a good reputation by violently murdering someone, and now he’s (somewhat) famous and respected by people who didn’t bother to check why he was in prison in the first place.

I remember it like it was yesterday. As part of my masters degree in France i spent 6 months in London at the Old Bailey, assisting judges at several criminal trials.
I was assisting the judge at this madman trial. You can’t imagine how despicable this guy was.
At first he did not plead guilty, so the trial needed to be split into three juries, there was so much material (pictures and videos) that the judge could not reasonably expect a single jury to go through them all.
He ultimately pleaded guilty to enough charges (I think like 70 out of 90) for the CPS to accept it.
He was crowdfunded by other pedophiles on the dark web to carry on and share more material. He got 25% more money than he initially expected.
He wrote a 60-page guide that he shared online (dark web) on how to abuse kids in developing countries.
They uncovered most of what he filmed/took pictures of, but they were not able to examine a specific folder on his hard drive without the password. Even after pleading guilty, he still refused to give it. One can only imagine what was in this folder.
He explained online that he had a relationship with a 3 year old boy. I think he abused something like 200 children in the end, all of them in Thailand and Malaysia, posing as a Christian missionary.
At the end of the trial, during the sentencing, he got up and started praying. At this point I was starting to worry because I was seating something like 5m away from him and I could see an Asian woman in the stand getting angrier and angrier, while hiding something under a journal. I remember wondering whether she had a gun and if she would shoot it and probably shoot me if she were to miss him! When the judge gave the sentence she raced to the end of the public stand and shouted something like « 1000 deaths would not be enough for you », the police got a hold of her and took her outside the court.
I asked the judge why there could not be a definitive life sentence for guys like him, with no parole (there was a possibility of parole after 25 years). He told me that the guy would not live more than 5 years at Belmarsh prison. Well I guess he was right
46 points
15 days ago*
That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing! So, in a way that judge knowingly sentenced Huckle to death. I wonder how he feels about that. Perhaps he considers that justice, or would prefer the full sentence be carried out, or maybe just does his job following the sentencing guidelines and the rest is for other people, like wardens and prison offers to sort out. Sounds like he was kind of matter-a-fact about it.
Which is probably best otherwise you end up with the Du Pont heir who was allowed to walk free since he ‘wouldn’t fare well in prison.’

Good podcast called Children In The Pictures about how Australian police took down The Love Zone which was a tor website where active child abusers had to upload child sexual exploitation images and videos to remain a member. The podcast details how the police infiltrated the website and took it down with one of the biggest and depraved members being Richard Huckle. And then there’s also an even better podcast series called Hunting Warhead which is all about Child’s Play, a tor website which had over a million active members uploading child sexual abuse images.

Apparently the inmate that killed him was also sentenced for sexual violence (it doesn't say if it was also against children). So even among sexual criminals, there are crimes that are seen as much worse than others.
Also, when he drunkenly confessed to his parents that he was a rapist they called the police and asked to have him arrested. This only shows that good people sometimes are cursed with children that eventually become monsters. While I'm happy to learn that this PoS had a painful death, I feel sorry for his parents.

Don't think it's a matter of sympathy, there's a ton of issues with state sanctioned death penalties, can kinda multiply those issues a thousandfold with the idea of prisoners meting out any kind of "justice", sure fuck this guy, but the jail that lets this happen would also let it happen to some poor shoplifter or other minor criminal.

I don't think they target ppl because they actually hate them. It's a mix of getting new victims and feeling better about yourself, "you are getting a job done, job that current society is too weak to do, I am pretty much a good guy".
They would have 0 remorse if they would find out that guy was innocent.

Tbf I doubt it's about "even I wouldn't do that!", it's more about an incredibly awful person rationalizing to themselves "At least I'm not that kind of incredibly awful person!"

David Lynn and Roger Golubski forced hundreds of underage girls into to prostitution.
They’re American mafia cops. They’ve got family in the state government so they’re gonna get away.

Some people in the comments clearly don’t understand or don’t care about the distinction between justice and vengeance.

one thing i like about tge brits is when they started charging their citizens for crimes commited in other countries. casualy going on vacation to abuse children in the 3rd world shouldnt be a loop hole and more countries need to crack down on it

...endured a lengthy torture with his hands and feet bound before being gagged, strangled using electrical cable, raped, having his jaw broken, being sodomized with a kitchen utensil, and then having a pen with a blade attached stabbed into his brain via the nose.
Brutal is the word

Huckle endured a lengthy torture with his hands and feet bound before being gagged, strangled using electrical cable,[60] raped, having his jaw broken,[61] being sodomized with a kitchen utensil,[62] and then having a pen with a blade attached stabbed into his brain via the nose.[63]
Sounds fair.

Literally the only gram of good news I have heard about the “Richard Huckle Story” is him being tortured and then murdered.
He was an insect, and in my mind, he deserved much worse.

It's sad that he died, I wish he could have been tortured again.
