A British man is facing multiple life sentences for the numerous sex crimes he committed in Southeast Asia including sexually abusing 22 Malaysian kids and a Cambodian child
Richard Huckle posted scores of images online of himself with children in Malaysia.

Dubbed as 'Britain's worst paedophile', Huckle first went to Malaysia in 2005 on a gap year teaching placement
He reportedly went to Cambodia the following year and began to take indecent images of children who were aged around three at the time while he stayed with a local family.
**After his gap teaching placement, Huckle began to visit Malaysia regularly before he eventually moved to Malaysia permanently in 2010 when he enroled at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University to study IT and later work as a freelance photographer.**
He would use religion, and his photography and English qualification to gain access to the impoverish local Christian community before raping and abusing these Malaysian children.
**[The Telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/01/britains-worst-paedophile-who-targeted-poverty-stricken-children/) reported that investigators found more than 20,000 indecent materials on his computer, including pictures and videos that he took of himself abusing girls and boys.**
Here are some of the most shocking findings that were uncovered for the first time after Judge Peter Rook QC lifted the reporting restrictions:
1. Huckle wrote a manual explaining how to get away with abusing children in Asia
The police found that Huckle had put together a 60-page manual titled 'Paedophiles and Poverty: Child Love Guide', which was encrypted on his laptop.
**It was a series of detailed notes in which he instructed readers on how to select deprived victims and elaborated on ways to avoid detections.**
He planned to publish this online and he wanted to create a "Paedo Wiki guide", [The Guardian](http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/01/richard-huckle-kent-photographer-faces-multiple-life-sentences-malaysian-child-abuse) reported.

2. He collected donations to fund his abuse

3. Huckle created for himself a system called "PedoPoints" to measure the scale of his abuse
The police found a "Pedopoints" ledger on Huckle's computer.
**It was a way he documented the abuse he inflicted, by using this online scorecard that he devised to award himself points for each act of abuse against a child.**
It is said that Huckle awarded himself a score of 1,305 in just over a year, where he gave himself different points based on the "15 different levels of depravity on children".
4. He bragged about his "achievements" online
Details of the abuse were reported for the first time because investigators had sought a court order allowing time to make sure the victims were safe from other online sexual predators
Although his abuse lasted for almost a decade, the authorities in Britain was only informed of his offences middle of 2014, when the National Crime Agency (NCA) received a tip from Australia about his online activities.
"He never seemed off or anything like that. He just seemed like a normal person, just very quiet, didn't really talk about home or things like that," said Scott Chapman, who was in college with Huckle.
