Not to detract from his offenses, because those in themselves are bad enough, but a shitty side effect of cases like this is that now parents will look sideways at any male childcare worker or teacher of very young kids, men wanting to be teachers will be (actually already are) discouraged from getting into the career because of the suspicion and innuendo. Then there's the impact someone like him has on the expat community of whichever other country he was molesting kids in. He has done so much lasting damage to so many people, in so many different ways, and I doubt he gives a shit about anything other than his sick urges and what's going to happen to him now.

He deserves whatever miserable sentence he receives - he actually deserves worse than life in a prison cell but that's all they can do to him. Maybe the other cons will get their hands on him and deal some real justice to him.

I simply cannot believe it. 91 children abused and not a single one of them told or tried to get help from someone else? You're talking of the same odds of winning the lottery - a poor analogy but you get my point.

A single person cannot abuse 91 children (that they know of) before getting caught. Either something is amiss in this story, perhaps others were told or were aware of it and did nothing, or it is much, much easier to abuse a child and get away with it than I ever imagined. Not that it's something I do imagine, but I just assume that, especially these days, most children are a lot more educated about this sort of thing and would somehow seek help, or at least tell someone. Maybe not the first one you abuse, maybe not the second, but certainly before you get to your 91st.

1623 cases of abusing a child and not a word spoken about it by those abused? Impossible.
