A 30-year-old UK citizen has been sentenced to life in prison after he admitted to 71 counts of sexual abuse against children, the BBC reports.
The crimes were committed in Malaysia against children aged from six months to 12 years, during the period between 2006 and 2014.
Richard Huckle, from Kent, entered Malaysia when he was 18 or 19 and intended to spend a year volunteering and teaching. He abused his position by grooming and abusing children from poor communities.
Authorities believe that Huckle may have abused as many as 200 children in total.
