KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police on Monday (Jun 6) said they were focusing on rehabilitating the victims of British paedophile Richard Huckle and generating community awareness in the wake of revelations he sexually abused dozens of Malaysian children.
Huckle was only caught after an investigation by British authorities who monitored his online activities, which included prolifically uploading indecent images to paedophilia forums.
Huckle was arrested in December 2014 when he returned to Britain to spend Christmas. He has pleaded guilty to 71 counts of child sex offences.
However, Ong Chin Lan, assistant director at the Royal Malaysian police’s sexual, women and child investigation division, told Channel NewsAsia they would not be recording testimonies from victims.
