LONDON – A student from Indonesia was identified as Britain’s “most prolific rapist” on Monday after being convicted of over 150 offences, including 136 rapes.
In four separate trials, Reynhard Sinaga, 36, was found guilty of assaulting 48 men whom he drugged after taking them back to his apartment from outside bars and clubs in the city of Manchester.
Police discovered graphic material – equivalent to 250 DVDs or 300,000 photos – depicting sexual assaults on Sinaga’s digital devices.
The rape investigation is the largest in British legal history. It is the first time prosecutors have split charges across four separate trials.
At a court in Manchester, a judge ruled that Sinaga must serve at least 30 years in prison for 159 offences committed between Jan. 2015 and May 2017, and lifted reporting restrictions.(Reuters)
