Britain’s most prolific rapist was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison on Monday. Reynhard Sinaga, described as “Britain’s most prolific rapist,” was convicted of 136 rapes.
Sinaga, 36, is already serving 88 concurrent life sentences with a minimum of 20 years before he can be considered for parole.
He was sentenced on Monday in trials three and four, where he was convicted of an additional 23 counts of rape.
Police say Sinaga lured hundreds of men to his apartment in Manchester, England between 2015 and 2017.
Sinaga is accused of abusing at least 195 men by luring them to his apartment and drugging their drinks. He then attacked the men after they passed out.
Sinaga earned four degrees and was working on his PhD at Leeds University when he was arrested.
He was described as a bookish, Peter Pan-like figure who lived a short walk from the Factory, one of England’s biggest LGBT clubs.
Sinaga was arrested after one victim escaped his apartment where he had been sexually assaulted. The victim accidentally took Sinaga’s cell phone which was filled with graphic videos of Sinaga raping his victims.
The 18-year-old victim met Sinaga at the Factory one night in June 2017. Sinaga lured him back to his apartment “to get out of the cold.”
The victim testified how he was given two shots of a red liquid and another two shots of what looked like a clear liqueur.
The victim recalls he “blacked out” and could remember nothing until he woke up the next morning.
The victim said he felt groggy and confused. The 6-foot rugby player easily overpowered the five-foot-seven Sinaga. He said Sinaga bit him several times during the struggle and pulled him back as he tried to leave.
After escaping Sinaga’s apartment, the victim realized he had Sinaga’s iPhone 4 in his jeans and he turned it over to police.
Sinaga initially refused police requests to unlock the phone, and began behaving strangely. When he did unlock the phone, police discovered the graphic videos.
Police executed a search of Sinaga’s apartment and found another iPhone and more devices with videos on them.
Many of the victims did not report Sinaga to police because they didn’t realize they had been raped until police found their videos on Sinaga’s cell phone. One of his victims even “friended” him on Facebook.
Police said, if Sinaga hadn’t recorded himself committing the vile acts, “nobody might ever have found out.”
