Indonesian Student Charged with Rape of 136 Men in England
a man from Indonesia, Reynhard Sinaga (36) was sentenced to life in a court of Manchester, England. This is because Reynhard was proven to have committed 159 cases of sexual violence, of which 136 were acts of rape. This crime was committed from January 2015 to June 2017.
Reynhard, who is currently studying at the PHD level at the University of Leeds, committed his lecherous act for two and a half years. Finally, the rapist was arrested in June 2017.
In carrying out his evil actions, Reynhard always drugged the victim who was brought to his apartment. At that time, a victim, managed to regain consciousness when he was being attacked, and fought Reynhard until finally calling the police.
Reported by the BBC, Monday (6/1), when the police confiscated Reynhard's phone, they found many video recordings of this action. The reason is, Reynhard always records every attack until the total video duration is hundreds of hours.
This discovery led to the investigation and investigation of the largest rape in British history. In fact, the police said they had evidence that Reynhard targeted at least 190 victims.
Assistant Chief of Police, Mabbs Hussain, said the true extent of Reynhard's crimes may never be known. He said Reynhard was a lecherous individual who targeted drunken men when they went out at night.
He added that Reynhard's rape was probably even committed in a span of about 10 years. The victims were mostly heterosexual men, of whom only three were known to be homosexual. Most were white British males ranging in age from 17 to 36 years.
"We suspect he has carried out this assault for 10 years. The information and evidence we have obtained mostly comes from booty he has collected from the victims of his crimes," he said.
Investigators tracked the dozens of victims from the video using clues found in Reynhard's Manchester apartment, such as stolen cell phones, ID cards and watches.
Judge Suzanne Goddard in her verdict on Monday (6/1) gave a life sentence and a pardon application must include a minimum of 30 years in prison. According to him, Reynhard always preyed on the young men who went out at night to meet their friends.
Reyndhard invited Reyndhard to the victim who looked vulnerable after getting drunk, or lost around his place of residence, on Princess Street, Manchester, England. He then entered a drug that was suspected to be GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate). This is a type of anesthetic that attacks the nervous system. After that the perpetrator then installed a camera through two of his cell phones, until he began to attack the victim.
When the victims woke up, many of them did not remember what had happened. Reynhard would only reply that they asked to recharge the cellphone in his apartment or that he said he didn't remember anything.
"In my judgment, you are a very dangerous, cunning and petty individual who will never be safe to release," Goddard said, adding that the decision to release prisoners would be made by the parole board.
The Palace Prosecutor's Service (CPS) said Sinaga was the most violent rapist in British legal history.
In four separate courts, the Indonesian national was found guilty of 136 counts of rape, 8 counts of attempted rape, 14 counts of sexual assault, and 1 count of assault with penetration, against a total of 48 victims. Some of the victims were raped repeatedly.
The pervert denied all accusations. He claimed that all of his sexual activity was consensual. In fact, he said every man agreed to be filmed while pretending to be sleeping. This defense was called ludicrous by the judge.
Sinaga's trial lasted 18 months at Manchester Crown Court, which resulted in a unanimous conviction of all charges.
Investigators said they were unable to identify the other 70 victims. Therefore, they begged anyone who felt they might be persecuted by Sinaga to report and testify.
