Man who raped impoverished young children wrote guide for paedophiles

Richard Huckle was "a constant groomer" who pretended to be a Christian philanthropist while in fact basing "his whole life around the sexual abuse of children", investigators said.

The depraved predator began his obscene crimes when he was just 19, and was so "conniving" he managed to get away without detection for nine years, during which time he had raped and abused dozens of children, one just six months old.
