UK's 'most prolific rapist,' who targeted men, sentenced for life

By Tim Fitzsimons

Reynhard Sinaga, 36, an Indonesian doctoral student, has been sentenced to life in prison with a possible release after 30 years on convictions of raping and assaulting 48 men in Manchester, England.

The life sentence adds to a 20-years-to-life term Sinaga received for prior convictions in sexual assault cases. Prosecutors said Sinaga, who has lived in the United Kingdom since 2007, was “the most prolific rapist in British legal history." Sinaga’s identity was revealed for the first time Monday after two years of trials.

Judge Suzanne Goddard called him “highly dangerous, cunning and deceitful” and said he would “never be safe to be released.”

“You are an evil serial sexual predator who has preyed upon young men who came into the city center wanting nothing more than a good night out with their friends," Goddard said. “One of your victims described you as a monster. The scale and enormity of your offending confirms this as an accurate description." Read more via NBC
