KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 ― A Petaling Jaya church said that Richard Huckle, the man dubbed in UK media as Britain’s “worst paedophile”, had visited it a few times, but denied any child sexual abuse in its congregation or the surrounding community.
Pastor Paul Packianathan, senior pastor of the Community of Praise Petaling Jaya Church located in Taman Medan, a Petaling Jaya neighbourhood comprising mostly hardcore poor Malays and Indians, also said Huckle never taught English tuition in the Protestant church.
“There was no abuse in our church,” Paul told Malay Mail Online.
“Those children supposedly affected by him are not from our church, or from the community where our church is,” he said. “He just came as a parishioner on and off”.
