I'm so glad his parents called the police and walked away from him, so sick of these monster's families making excuses to stand by them!

The fact that drug offense carries worse consequences than sexual predators in my state.

Not going to lie I’ve never been so happy to hear this level of torture in my life. What a AWFUL man 😡

this may be morbid to say but I truly believe this is how all pedophiles should leave this world. thank you again for giving us another chilling story Eleanor!

seeing his family act so immediately is so refreshing. in so many cases like this the family refuses to believe their child would do this even with confessions alike and it’s so nice to have them immediately disown him like they should.

It's so heartbreaking to know that the Malaysians were so kind to Richard and trusted him to the point that some even let him stay with them when he was homeless, and he repaid them back by taking advantage of their children..

the fact that the australian police were the ones that caught him makes me proud to be australian. we’ve got some very good departments on cyber crimes and glad that someone could help catch this monster. truly a disgusting man.

I wouldn’t call his death murder I would call it justice!!

As a Malaysian, I want to say thank you for posting this. In Malaysia, it is very rare to see the media or influencers or anyone, really, talk about this issues like this. We know it happened but just brush it off so the victim's family wont be shame on which is wrong in so many ways. The predators don't get blame but instead the family will be blame. so sad.

how the parents acted upon finding out was absolutely flawless seen so many cases where the parents act like they’re child done nothing wrong

The sad thing about this case is that it's not even an isolated incident. There are people like this, operating with essentially total immunity all over countries like Malaysia, Thailand etc.

That poor judge.... he deemed this case that he had to work on so detrimental to someones mental health that he broke it up into 3 cases...... but he had to see it all. That kind of compassion and consideration towards a jury's wellbeing, especially the offer of free counseling is something I don't think you'd find in the US.

Being a mom and hearing this story makes me, don’t ever ever ever ever trust anyone. Knowing the children ages breaks my heart.

I can't stand it when a parent tries excusing their child's crimes or blaming it on the victims, so it's refreshing to see how quickly his family acted here. Also, major props to the Australian police for their tremendous efforts!

How do you not notice your 2 year old's wounds and reactions after being left alone with a beast like that? Children can't advocate for themselves, especially when too young to even understand let alone tell you what's going on. It's hard not to wonder why the parents didn't have any suspicions of abuse while changing their child's diaper or bathing. Fck this world honestly

imagine the trauma that little girl has about her birthday now, thinking about what that monster did to her on her birthday 💔

The second you said he endured an hour and a half of torture I breathed an actual sigh of relief. I wish nothing but healing and safety for this sick and wicked mans victims

As someone who was abused from the age of about 4 though 7, these kinds of stories make me sick. The trauma follows you for the rest of your life. It lead to me developing anorexia just to have some sort of control over my own body. Your coverage of this case was great - very respectful and focused mainly on his victims. Thank you.

He looked like an absolute creep. Those poor children. The horrors they must relive breaks my heart.

As a Malaysian and a mom of 2 this was really hard to watch 😢 Those parents welcomed him and what they got in return? Those poor children I cant imagine 😢

I absolutely hate listening to cases like this but we need to know how they target children so we can protect them better and know the warning signs/red flags. I hope the parents and the children (then they are older) can find comfort in what happened to him in prison and find some justice in that. I hope you are taking care of your mental health also Eleanor. These cases are insane. This one must have hurt to cover. Stay healthy Eleanor and everyone.

it makes me so sick how child predators get away with so much before being found out

As a survivor myself of child sex abuse this is so sad and hard to listen to what happened to him in the end is total satisfaction he deserve every min of the pain that was inflicted onto him , I hope those children got the help they needed so they can grow up survivors and warriors

What a beautiful ending 😢 i pray those kids recover from the trauma

Inside my head I was screaming 'YES!' like the woman in the Herbal Essences adverts when the other inmate was torturing Richard. Never has a horrific death been more well deserved. And the guards clearly agreed because they let that go on for a VERY long time!

You can hear her voice waver a few times as she describes this case and it really shows just how hard it is to talk about what happened to these poor children. My heart goes out to all of them

This whole case made me feel genuinely ill

So devastating.. those poor babies, toddlers, children 😞 you never get over being abused. This man was depraved. My blood is boiling as my heart is breaking and my stomach is churning. DISGUSTING!

As a mother my blood is BOILING! when I was a pre teen there was a man 2 doors down who got caught with cp of babies. He got a slap on the wrist and the last time I walked past him was when I was pregnant with my child. He still lived in the area and still really close to a school. People make me sick

I have worked in ESL teaching for 16 years. I spent two years teaching in Asia and this story, while the worst, is by no means isolated. The profession I love is regularly used by men as a means of gaining access to vulnerable children. I once found a group of men (aged from mid-20's to late 50's) in my staff room at a school I was a senior teacher at in China. They were all passing around some papers, so I asked what they were. The older men shut up but the youngest (and newest) said "Oh, it's a mingle activity look!" I looked, always happy to get new exercises for my classes and it was, on the face of things, a normal ice/breaking mingle task: name, age, likes, dislikes, ect. But then I realised they'd all got marks out of 10 on them and I asked why on earth they were grading a mingle activity "It's not a grade!" The young man said as the others glared "It's how hot the girls are". They were using these mingle activities to literally get a cheat sheet on how to groom these girls, who were all aged between 11 and 13. I had them fired, but it's like a hydra; you get rid of one and 4 more spring up because there is such a demand for native English speaking teachers in Asia that they will take whoever they can get. While I was there there was a group of western men who were campaigning to have the age of consent in China lowered to 12. *12* I lasted 2 years there before I couldn't take it anymore, nothing I did was going to clean up that mess while demand for "teachers" (and please believe me I use that word in the loosest sense possible) was so high. It makes my blood boil that people take advantage of children by using my vocation. Unfortunately ESL teaching is largely unregulated in most countries and until that changes and countries start demanding actual teaching qualifications rather than volunteers or a 16 hour online TEFL certification, it will continue to be a groomer's paradise and a nightmare for those of us who actually care about our students and their education.

I'm imagining getting medicated, being horrified at your actions... And then finding out who it was, and feeling rather better about the whole thing.

what scares me the most about this is 1) he was protected 2) how he fet no guilt, and was in fact proud of what he did 3) how sadly, the children as young a they are, most likely did not understand what was going on.

When I heard “2 year old girl” and “as young as just six months old” I audibly cursed through gritted teeth, bc I myself have a two year old daughter and a six month old daughter. I just don’t even understand…… not only bc it’s so horrifically repulsive that I can’t PSYCHOLOGICALLY understand. But physically, I don’t understand how it’s even possible. And it makes me so fkn sick.

I love his parents. When he moved back and admitted what he had done they instantly kicked him out and disowned him.

This is one of the first cases where i’ve actually had to stop the video and take a break because I felt physically sick. The things he did to those children are horrifying. How does anyone think like that

Him: "hey can I take photos of your kids" Me: "get the fuck away from my family"

Him and Peter Scully are some of the worst people I have ever heard of. Their crimes are so horrific that I wish I never watched true crime videos about them. I feel absolutely horrible for every single victim in these cases. It is beyond sickening and it genuinely breaks my heard how he knew exactly how to take advantage of these poor children. And the people in that volunteering program, who allowed him to work there, despite the accusations deserve to be punished. I truly believe they too should be punished.

It's so sad that parents felt so comfortable to leave their children alone with this monster. I hope that these children can live fruitful lives. My heart breaks for them

I’m literally crying at the idea that his victims were as young as 6 months old!!!! Like I can’t even process that, I’m literally enjoying his death and idc if that sounds horrible to some people! But I have a question: like I can understand…ish I guess if your kid is at a certain age where they can bathe themselves so you rarely see them naked (you’re not giving them baths anymore or wiping them after they use the bathroom or helping them change), but when it’s a 6 month old…..I question how did the parents not notice rape wounds suddenly starting to appear on their 6 month old’s private parts when their changing them or bathing them after they let this stranger sleep on their couch-I would be immediately suspicious but then again I wouldn’t let a stranger sleep on my couch! Like idk what a rape wound looks like (I never want to know), but I’d assume that because it’s on a baby and their getting it from a grown ass man it..would..be…very noticeable…I’m just throwing this question out there-I’m not blaming the parents in anyway because this could happen to any parents kids no matter what, and I know these people were just trying to be nice and do a kind act and take someone off the street so I also won’t judge them for housing a stranger (even though a small part of me wants too, I won’t) That’s another thing…I was legit shaken to the core-I had goosebumps when you brought up the creator of the website how he was I think you said social worker/child social worker smth like that-I think pedos like him and Richard are some of the scariest because to me the first thing I think of when I hear pedophile I think a sweaty overweight guy, prolly balding, that catfishes kids using social media and the way he texts it’s obvious he’s a pedo….so seeing some pesos that are smart enough to actually work for and get jobs where they work with kids….literally disgusts me and scares me-because your suppose to trust people that have those exact same jobs they did…so it’s like you don’t know who to entrust your kids with because you don’t know who actually wants to help your family and kids and who just wants to hurt them Also….am I a horrible human being for laughing and thoroughly enjoying the that shit’s torture? If so….oh well. Also his death would’ve been a tad..okay more satisfying if it was coming from an inmate that actually loved kids in a non-pedo way and heard what Richard did and was outraged and dished out that torture, but I’ll take what I can get so long as he’s death and gone form this world I wish all of his victims therapy and hopefully they get a good healing and recovery.

This is the only Eleanor Neale video I will never watch again. It's too sick, I cant just listen to the story in the background while I work like I do with so many other of your videos. And I think that's actually a compliment because it speaks to just how well you tell a story despite the harrowing details. This one just disturbed me to my core, more than any of your other videos.

That pastor who re-employed him after saying that "Richard had not been alone" with the children....should himself be jailed.

I'm genuinely trying to figure out how parents fail to notice physical signs of rape on a child. This is a part that has racked my brain for the longest time.

as a mother of a 2 year old little girl, i was horrified over what he did to that poor baby 😢😢

A beautiful ending but so much pain for these children

I literally jumped for joy when you said that he was tortured and raped before he was killed!! If that isn’t justice for those poor children, I don’t know what is!! 🥳♥️

How Eleanor describes crimes is so amazing, she doesn't leave any important information like others. Thank you Eleanor 💗💗

His eyes were scary. You can tell he had no remorse for all he had done to all those poor children.

The photo at 8:10 is quite telling I gotta admit. The duality between the slums and the high rise buildings says a lot

This is the worst case ever. I couldn’t stop thinking about how the 2 year old girl parents didn’t notice anything since they would be the ones to bath her and look at her body on a daily basis

It makes me sick to know how many people specifically target Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand for this exact crime. The amount of predators that go to these areas is staggering. It’s especially sad in this case, because so many people took him in and trusted him! I just feel so sad and sick over what happened to those poor kids.

this is probably one of the most vilest cases i've heard, taking advantage of these children that trusted him the most AND exploiting them purely for his gratifications...not to mention the fact that people still trusted in him despite all the horrific things he did, digusting.

Okay, maybe it's just because I have a dark sense of humor, but the way the inmate responded when he was caught after killing this guy......I just burst into giggles. Blood and body parts all around him, calmly stating, "I really enjoyed that. I'd like to do it again."

Holy hell, the way he took him out is intense. Fully deserved and deserved more.

This case is heartbreaking. Wish there was a way to protect all children.

Australian police worked so hard on this case!

I can’t stress this enough, people who rape can’t just be in jail, that’s just not enough, they have to be dehumanized and suffer, and not be able to have pleasure ever again in their life. The sentence for rape should be the removal of their genitals. And the sentence for murder (as in serial killer) should be death. I don’t understand why they keep letting these things (I refuse to call them humans) live “normally” in prison. I cannot, and will not ever understand this.

Big cheer for Eleanor for being so active! We love you girl! 🎉

I really want to believe that the prison guards knew exactly what was going on, and only decided to break it up when they were sure that it was too late for Huckle.

How dp the parents not see what's going on? You would think the kids would show signs and so young they for sure would have pain :'(

how ridiculous that he didn't even get a minimum sentence of 1 year per victim/charge. Not even 6 months per victim/charge. I'm studying law at uni and as a survivor myself it disgusts me. I hope one day I can have an impact on laws and court legislations that would change this.

Even though I hate the guy that murdered him as well, I'm so glad he got such a brutal murder. At the end of the day what he endured was not NEARLY as painful as what all those poor children to endure. My heart goes out to th children and the families and hopefully they are all better now ❤❤❤

The fact that he actually recommended other predators like him to travel to poor and vulnerable communities in order to find victims is disturbing, and its terrifying how commonplace it is for all predators, whether they target them because of their ffed up urges are directed towards a specific type of individual, or because they are in a vulnerable position where they can't protect themselves or because its easier for them to fly under the radar (like runaways or s*workers). Its terrifying and disturbing how manipulative these monsters can be

I’m just refreshed at the fact that his parents wasted little time on informing the police and not justifying his actions, I can’t imagine how terrible they must have felt

can’t imagine my neices going through this, my neice a just born two weeks ago, my other one is a toddler. disgusting what some people are capable of

I haven't warched all, because I recognised the offender. This guy is sick. He is a case study now for some aspects of his offending. When I was studying Sexual Offending professionally, his M.O. was notable. Keep up the good work.

I saw someone say “it’s forgettable most of those kids won’t remember it when they grow up.” That’s gross honesty as someone who’s been through that it follows me everywhere forever. I can’t watch certain movies I can’t look up any hill without having a flashback I’m scared of everything. I puke almost daily because of my ptsd and that’s not uncommon I can imagine that out of all of the kids he abused even though some might still go on to thrive he most definitely completely ruined so many of them and changed their lives.

I have a two year old niece and hearing about his actions makes my blood boil

As British people most of us don’t advocate for the death penalty, but there are some people who are so monstrous that this ending, (God forgive me,) is one of the only times I’ve ever really felt that a paedophile got the end they absolutely deserved - I honestly think this was fate. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the title of the video… I remember watching a much more explicit, hard hitting documentary in terms of his diary entries and other things a few years ago (it may actually have been a Panorama,) and I thought it was so sad that none of the children’s parents or the children got the kind of justice they would here in terms of compensation for what they’d been through, sometimes on the watch of people who should have kept a closer eye on him. I have to wonder why the man at the first place you mentioned ended up actually hiring him after reports of him hitting a child. I wonder if the parent was using a euphemism because it was too terrible to try and say out loud, and whether the guy who ran the school was actually cut from the same cloth. Anyway…. we are human. We can’t help wishing this kind of fate on people who are so sadistic that they have an addiction to harming the most vulnerable victims they can find. Well done for covering what I know was an absolutely horrifying case in the most palatable way you could - the first one I watched haunted me for years afterwards. I agree that the police investigation was genius with so very little information to go on. It’s good to know there are some detectives out there who will never give up until they’ve caught a dangerous criminal - in his case he was so prolific it couldn’t save the children he’d already harmed but it probably saved hundreds more had he been allowed to just carry on the way he was by the Malaysian police. Awful subject but great documentary.

Sometimes people are so inhumane I'm struggling to comprehend that someone is physically capable of something like this he deserved what he got and more

I'm soooo confused. How how how do the parents not notice the physical signs of sexual abuse on their children? When my daughters were 2-3 they were only so big physically. I could not imagine a grown man doing that to them. But I feel like that would leave noticeable wounds because the child is so small. Are these parents not still dressing and bathing their own children? I just can't comprehend how a parent would not notice the obvious signs of sexual abuse on such a young child.

I wondered how long a story about child abuse would go before a church got involved.

How do these monsters get away with this stuff?? How do the children deal with this? My youngest daughter is 3 and I can’t imagine anyone hurting her. She’s so fragile it would destroy me! I’d go insane!

Being a mum to 4 kids all under the age of 10 and my youngest only turning 2 in July this made me cry and feel sick and angry, so so angry. I get annoyed and so protective just when someone looks in my toddlers pram. This worked seriously is sicking🤢 I really hope these children have help with healing as much as they can. Poor babies he can’t get you anymore💪👶🏻🙈😢

Oh his poor parents.. how devastating to learn the child you raised, loved and cared for turned out to be pure evil. I’m sure any parent out there can feel a twinge of sympathy for them. I’m sure they feel some level of guilt like wondering what they could’ve done differently. Thank god they immediately called the police and pushed him to confess.

And this is why I sacrificed my 20's to take care of my baby sister. Because all these sick people are looking for is a chance

Fitzgerald deserves a fuckin medal for doing what the government refused to do.

"The Murder Of The UK's Worst Child Predator" Truly one of the hardest things anyone has ever done EDIT: Welp turns out the guy who did it is also a sex offending piece of shit so I take back any praise I had

I know it seems like the bare minimum but his parents are amazing for turning him in. So many parents see their kids commit atrocities and continue to defend them, whether it be child abuse like this or murder.

He got what he deserved. What a disgusting excuse of a human being. Also Malaysian police should have repercussions for this.. On the side not it's terrifying how many pedophiles is out there that are not only pedophiles, which is bad on its own obviously, but also clearly sadists...

Who doesn’t love a story with a happy ending? 💀

I'm pretty sure that the prison staff knew what they were doing. They set it up, because they knew what that other inmate was talking and fanasizing on doing and they just... let it be. Coming in right after it happened," Oopsie daisy, he's already dead? Look at that, oh well.". Good call on their end, they knew that his sentence was not enough, and they made sure that the justice in some way, was served. No more wasting air by this guy.

Being a part of prosecuting these people and putting them behind bars forever is the best feeling. Knowing these predators can't touch another child again. From seeing so much of this it is always the person you'd never think would do something like that. Working on these cases for years has made me so paranoid about leaving my daughter with anyone!! Please people watch for them signs! Your kids will show them.

The only part of this video where I was happy was when she described how he was tortured ☺️ he’s now suffering where he belongs

A few years ago they did a 60 minute special about the shanon mccoole and it turns out he was the page manager, once they closed in on him they caught him with his laptop open and were able to continue the page in order to catch a huge ring of this disgusting people all over the world

Watched this while my kiddo napped in my arms & it made me feel physically sick. Its mind-blowing how much he systematically preyed on the least fortunate & how prevelant that really is in other countries.The sheer amount of people who use these dark web sites constantly astounds me.The cruelty is so disgusting. Ugh its sickening. Thanks for showing the world how much this happens, hopefully it will spur more protections for everyone's kiddos.

my heart breaks for those children in Malaysia. This is truly the most heart breaking case, i don’t understand how any person could commit such horrific acts.💔

Sickening. But your reporting was sympathetic to the poor children.. so well done.

i’ve been a viewer for a few years and you’re such an amazing crime youtuber. you explain the story so well and it keeps me hooked the entire time! i have adhd so it’s hard for me to find a good storyteller because i often can get distracted and confused easily. but you always keep me focused the whole time and ur honestly just amazing. keep up the good work! also i adore your accent!!

This is one of the worst cases I've heard of, it's heartbreaking that such horrible monsters have the ability to have access to less fortunate people, especially children. I can't imagine how the families must have felt.

God bless the Australian police officers who originally found out about what Richard was doing. If it wasn’t for them he would still be out there.

I don’t understand how he could r*pe such a small child without the parents noticing any marks,bruises,bleeding, etc. during baths or clothing changes.

I wonder why he was laying down there dying. Did he think about any of the kids you know the children that he hurt. I guess they say what goes around comes around. Beautiful ending.

Wow. Just love how the Jury got FREEE therapy because it was so traumatic for them… And the kids who actually went through the experience get nothing. Makes my stomach turn

This has broken my heart... this man really took advantage of vulnerable people and their even more so vulnerable kids... how can someone be so sick?? I'm in Psychology and one of my interests is criminology but every time I watch a case I realise I couldn't work with them because it would just darken my spirit

I feel so awful for the children in this case. But I also feel bad for the investigators that had to view all those photos of his abuse.

It’s mind boggling that this supposed human being can do these abhorrent things.

As a babysitter i understand why parents are hesitant of others with their kids. I love the kids i take care of like they are my own! I cant even begin to imagine the heartbreak these parents felt thinking their children were safe with this man 😔 i pray those families find peace one day and im so thankful someone gave that man the fate he deserved.

Him getting murdered by a person who just really wanted to do something to another person is cosmic justice if I ever knew it.

That is what a good responsible parent does my heart goes out to her, I am sure it wasn't easy on the poor mother to find out what her son was capable on off, but she did the right thing, God's see's her heart, and for the families of the children so sorry you have to endure such a horrendous act from sick monster. I hope God give them strength and have happy life.

I remember watching a documentary on Magellan TV about Richard and I wanted to throw up and cry and rage. This is Karma in its most righteous form.
