Britain’s ‘Most Prolific Rapist’ Is Jailed for Life!
A man convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting 48 young men in Manchester, and videotaping and cataloging the rapes, was sentenced on Monday to life in prison, closing a series of trials against a man whom prosecutors called “the most prolific rapist ever tried in a British court.”
The man, Reynhard Sinaga, 36, was found guilty of carrying out a two-and-a-half year campaign in which he approached scores of drunk young men outside Manchester clubs and lured them back to his nearby apartment under the guise of giving them a place to sleep or recharge their phones.
Instead, he gave them drinks spiked with sedatives, prosecutors said, before poking their belly buttons to make sure they were unconscious and then raping them, sometimes for hours.
Apart from victims noticing that they had particularly bad hangovers the next morning, Mr. Sinaga committed the rapes without anyone noticing until a June morning in 2017 when an 18-year-old man woke up in the middle of being assaulted.
The man beat up Mr. Sinaga and escaped with his attacker’s white iPhone. On Mr. Sinaga’s digital devices, investigators said they eventually found huge volumes of photos and videos of his assaults, sometimes cataloged alongside pictures of a victim’s ID card.
Investigators found evidence of Mr. Sinaga assaulting more than 190 victims in all, they said. Detectives have so far failed to identify 70 victims and are still looking to speak to them.
On Monday, at the end of Mr. Sinaga’s fourth trial, the courts lifted a media blackout that had previously kept his name from being publicly reported.
