Reynhard Sinaga went on a two-year spree through Manchester, drugging his victims before raping them

Rampage Of Horror

On his Facebook page Reynhard Sinaga reveals himself to be a dedicated Spice Girls fan and devout churchgoer who has two degrees to his name and plenty of friends – so in short, he hardly fits the profile of a multiple sex offender.

But behind those dark-framed glasses and friendly smile lurks the mind of a monster. As a British court recently handed him 88 life sentences for 136 acts of rape, Reynhard Sinaga (36) was unmasked as the world’s worst serial rapist.

For at least two years the pervert went on a horrific rape spree, preying on men in Manchester, England. Although he’s gay, most of his victims were straight men who were also a lot brawnier than him – but after drinking the concoctions he served them, which were laced with date-rape drugs, they were powerless to resist the scrawny sex fiend.

For hours as they lay passed out he filmed himself raping and sexually assaulting them repeatedly and when they awoke they had no recollection of what had been done to them.

But it was his grotesque video library that would prove to be Sinaga’s undoing. After one of his victims woke up and caught him in the act he blew the whistle, and when police raided his flat they discovered more than three terabytes of extremely graphic material – equivalent to 250 DVDs.

It charted in lurid detail Sinaga’s rampage of depravity which is thought to have begun in 2015 and which saw him committing 159 sexual offences which he filmed on two cellphones. One of the rapes went on for eight hours while the victim lay unconscious.

With the help of this video police were able to get in touch with many of his victims, although 70 of the men have yet to be identified. Police believe he may have assaulted at least 195 men.
