KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 ― British paedophile Richard Huckle met his victims at the Community of Praise church, but church leaders and parents were unaware of any sexual abuse involving the children, a source said.
The highly-placed source said Huckle, 30, had visited the Protestant church run by Pastor Paul Packianathan ― which has branches in Taman Medan, Petaling Jaya, and in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur ― as a photographer, and met impoverished ethnic Indian families who came to the church for food handouts.
“The church leaders and parents were unaware of the abuse; they only became aware this year,” the source told Malay Mail Online.
The source added that Huckle did not volunteer teaching at the church and that the photographer’s victims were from the surrounding community, but were not technically members of the church.
