Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,000
So, if you could just start
2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,840
by giving me a brief rundown
of what happened?
3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,920
I remember the first time I walked
into the courtroom for the case,
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
and I saw Sinaga sat
5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,400
between two security officers
in the dock.
6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,720
And I thought, "That can't be him.
7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,520
I must be in the wrong trial".
8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,440
I just couldn't stop looking at him.
9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,880
We were notified in this office
in June 2017,
10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,680
that Sinaga had been arrested.
11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,440
And really the case
began to build from that moment.
12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160
He looked studious.
13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720
He looked clever.
14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,880
And most of all, he looked harmless,
completely harmless.
15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,400
And I guess that's the thing
that makes him most dangerous,
16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,640
it's how harmless he actually looks.
17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,040
It was something
that happened so local to us,
18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,440
so close to us.
19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,560
These were bars
that we'd been out in.
20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,960
These were streets
that we've walked.
21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
A serial rapist
is starting a life sentence tonight.
22
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,120
Stalking the streets of Manchester,
23
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000
he preyed on vulnerable
often drunk men.
24
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,280
It was in this area of Manchester
25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680
that Reynhard Sinaga
targeted his victims.
26
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Night after night,
Sinaga would leave
27
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,120
his Manchester flat
to go and find victims.
28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Reynhard Sinaga came to the UK
in 2007 on a student visa.
29
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,600
The judge describes Sinaga
as a monster.
30
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,240
This is an absolutely
unprecedented case.
31
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,480
He poses a Good Samaritan,
offering help.
32
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,720
Police found mobile phones
and watches kept as mementos.
33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,360
It has been devastating
for them.
34
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Reynhard Sinaga
is a deprived individual.
35
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,080
Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga.
36
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,880
As someone who've thought
about taking their own lives.
37
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
They found
hundreds of hours of video.
38
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,160
On one occasion, it took him
just 60 seconds to pick up a victim.
39
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,680
A 10-year campaign
of violence, sexual crime.
40
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,520
Taunting Central Manchester at night
from the shadows.
41
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720
This is a case
which begs some terrible questions.
42
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,240
All of which has helped it
to go on for so long
43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,800
without having been uncovered.
44
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,600
What makes Manchester a great city
is that it's vibrant.
45
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,360
It's a fun place
to go out for a night out.
46
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,920
It's welcoming, it's accepting.
47
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,960
We help each other and we're proud
here to be Mancunians.
48
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,320
Part of the reason
Sinaga loved Manchester
49
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320
is that he could be himself,
he could kind of express himself.
50
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,680
He said this to his ex-boyfriend
who I interviewed.
51
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,760
He said Sinaga told him he
didn't like growing up in Indonesia
52
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,560
because he couldn't express
who he was.
53
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,680
That's why he moved to Manchester
and he just loved it.
54
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,760
He could be who he was.
55
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,920
He could be openly gay,
could enjoy nights out.
56
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,440
He could grow his hair long,
he could wear what he wanted, and...
57
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,200
And he, you know, he didn't like
going back to Indonesia.
58
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,080
Every time he had to go back,
he would cut his hair short.
59
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,840
He didn't seem to have
a great relationship with his father
60
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600
according to his ex-boyfriend
that we spoke to.
61
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,520
He was probably coming to terms
with quite a difficult...
62
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Well, it must have been
a difficult upbringing
63
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,200
for, you know, a young man
coming to terms
64
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,800
with his sexuality in Indonesia
to a strict Christian family.
65
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240
When he got to Manchester,
of course, he absolutely loved it,
66
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,600
especially the four bars and clubs
where it happened.
67
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,240
So this is Factory nightclub,
68
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120
which is a really popular club
for students
69
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,040
and in this area actually
on the whole
70
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,600
and is quite popular with students
and the universities,
71
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200
just kind
of a ten minutes' walk away.
72
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,640
And then down here,
just the base of the next building
73
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,720
is where Sinaga lived,
74
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,400
and here is the entrance
to his apartment.
75
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,120
And sometimes, the queue
from Factory nightclub is so long,
76
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,600
it pretty much
went under his window.
77
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,720
We could see people in the queue
from his window,
78
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,040
but this just shows this is the area
where lots of students go out.
79
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,280
So it's kind of, you know,
lots of opportunities for him
80
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,160
to take advantage of people.
81
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,040
The four bars and clubs
where it happened
82
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,160
are all incredibly popular,
busy parts of the city centre.
83
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,680
And everyone know now
what happened there.
84
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,200
That night basically we started off,
85
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:48,400
met at a friend's house
about ten or after, maybe earlier.
86
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,200
I had a few drinks there.
87
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,760
I think two or three drinks
of Budweiser before going out.
88
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,840
Then I went across to Factory.
89
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,040
In this bar, I think I got
a couple more double vodka lemonade.
90
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Quite a few more drinks.
91
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,240
It's quite,
quiet-ish at this point still.
92
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,320
I see my friends went to the Tyler.
They go and I just wave.
93
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,720
I lost them, so I go outside
for a bit to cool down.
94
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
There it's easy to phone them,
when I'm outside.
95
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,600
Once outside,
I weren't able to contact them
96
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,920
because obviously
they're inside a club.
97
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,120
Music's loud, you know,
nobody hears a phone vibrating.
98
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,880
I just wait outside
for another 15, 20 minutes.
99
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,160
Outside I sat on a step on the side.
100
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960
And I see this buddy walking past.
101
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,400
He catches my eye,
102
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,640
and he starts walking over to me.
103
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,640
He comes, sits next to me,
104
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,240
starts talking
about general studies,
105
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
about his school,
how his college is going.
106
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
He's just like a normal student,
so I thought.
107
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,520
Simulates to me
a very friendly and open...
108
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,120
I had nothing to worry about,
I thought.
109
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920
I thought he's just a student
looking after another student.
110
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,400
He offered me to go back to his
to keep warm,
111
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,120
"while you wait
for your friends contact you."
112
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
It's probably about one o'clock,
so it is quite cold outside.
113
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,720
I walked back with him
114
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
past the club
and then into his flat.
115
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,080
He offered me a few drinks,
a few shots,
116
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,360
because we were still drinking
at this point.
117
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,360
And I thought nothing at this point,
nothing really to worry about.
118
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,280
He's just a normal guy who's
asking me to stay inside, keep warm.
119
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,480
In Sinaga's flat,
there was a sort of cocktail table
120
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,320
full of various spirits and mixers,
121
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,120
which is where he would have got
the drinks
122
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,640
for the guys
who came back to his flat.
123
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,000
As he brought the drinks,
I went to the toilet.
124
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,960
I came back, shots were poured
125
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,880
and then I ended up
taking the two shots.
126
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,600
So it's okay, right, ready.
What a fireball it was!
127
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Tasted fine, it was normal.
128
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,080
There was a white, clear drink,
like a Sambuca or vodka.
129
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,600
As soon as I had that one,
my head was all over the place.
130
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,320
I felt like it was gonna fall.
131
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,800
I started tumbling to the bathroom.
132
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840
At that point,
I tried to call my friends.
133
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,000
I texted them, I wanted to say,
"This is where I am."
134
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040
He stops me,
basically grabs my hands
135
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,600
to stop me from phoning them.
136
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,840
He says, "I know
what you're about to say."
137
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,880
You need to relax, you need to rest.
138
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,360
And at that point,
he took my phone off me.
139
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,880
For the next five hours or so,
140
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,160
I don't remember anything.
141
00:11:54,680 --> 00:12:01,160
There was a search for a drug
that we believe Sinaga used.
142
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,880
But surprisingly,
there was no trace of that.
143
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,000
And so one can only assume
that Sinaga's been meticulous
144
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,440
in disposing of anything
that might link him physically
145
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,000
to the use of that drug.
146
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,280
GHB, the date rape drug,
is also very easy to make.
147
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Date rape drugs,
as they're often called,
148
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,240
are usually odourless,
tasteless, colourless.
149
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,400
It can make someone incapacitated
150
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
and absolutely have no memory
of what happened.
151
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,760
Symptoms of drugging
include loss of muscle control,
152
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,680
problems talking, problems seeing,
even stomach problems.
153
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,120
GHB is out there and being used
to sexually assaulted young girls.
154
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,920
You would typically expect
the effects of GHB
155
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,360
to come on within around
about 15 to 20 minutes.
156
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,000
If somebody was to invite somebody
back to the house
157
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,320
and offer him a drink
then the amount is so small
158
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,080
it's easy just to drop that
159
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,680
into any kind of soft drink
or alcoholic drink,
160
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,440
and to not really kind of realise
that you're taking anything.
161
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,640
Again there's that risk of overdose
162
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,000
and become unconscious,
kind of a bit of induced coma.
163
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,720
And because of people
kind of lose their consciousness
164
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,480
or they have memory loss,
165
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,600
it's really difficult
for people to remember.
166
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,000
I woke up
with my face down on the pillow
167
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,560
with my jeans and pants down,
by my knee area.
168
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360
I was on the floor on that quilt.
169
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,800
Next to me
is a cupboard and a drawer.
170
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,560
If you walk into the door,
would be in the far right corner.
171
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,840
And my head slides aside.
172
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,000
I turned around
and I saw he was on top of me.
173
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,400
I was really disorientated,
I didn't really know where I was.
174
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,240
I've just woken up from being
drugged for five hours or so,
175
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,440
so I didn't have any recollection
of where I actually was.
176
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,600
As soon as he realised
that I was up,
177
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,520
he's actually
trying to pull me down.
178
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,800
He was pulling my T-shirts
to keep me basically in his room.
179
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,840
I was scared
and didn't know what to do.
180
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,880
I was so disorientated,
181
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,800
all the adrenaline
was pumping freely.
182
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,960
This guy is biting me, hitting me,
183
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,760
trying to stop me
from leaving the apartment.
184
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,000
I hit him finally and I go then.
185
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,920
Once I basically leave that room
to escape his apartment,
186
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,320
he takes me again there.
187
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,600
He just runs and headbutts me
188
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,560
and I basically throw him
over the top of me
189
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,120
I hit him trying to get him
to let go of me.
190
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Finally, he lets go of me
and that's when I come out the door.
191
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Once I escaped the apartment,
I ran out of the fire exit.
192
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,760
I see some person
walking across the road.
193
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520
I basically went over to him,
asked him to use his phone,
194
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,680
so I can phone my mum.
195
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
He's very worried.
196
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,200
He doesn't want
to give me his phone
197
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,800
because I'm covered
in mine and Sinaga's blood.
198
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,600
But after a bit,
I plead and he gives me his phone
199
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,560
and lets me phone the police.
200
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,760
Sinaga was taken out of his flat
in Montana house on a stretcher.
201
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,440
They told me to go alongside
to the police station
202
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,080
and they took him to the hospital.
203
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,680
He was in high intensive care
for a few days.
204
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,680
The lad beat him up so badly
205
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,480
that paramedics initially believed
he had bleed on the brain.
206
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,000
And the victim of the sexual assault
was actually arrested himself
207
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,320
for assaulting Sinaga.
208
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,240
I was questioned as the perpetrator.
209
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,360
I was the one who beat this man up
210
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,040
and the police said that I basically
chose to meet this guy
211
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,520
and then something
went wrong so I beat him up.
212
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,200
So for the full weekend,
he was the victim,
213
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,840
I was the perpetrator.
214
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,440
Whilst in hospital,
215
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,640
the suspicions began to build up
in the police's mind
216
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,120
that he was just too keen
to get his phones back.
217
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,040
He was extremely agitated
and persistent
218
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:08,000
in wanting to recover his phones.
219
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,680
Because the guy
who'd been arrested for assault,
220
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,920
had told the police,
"No, I'm the victim of rape.
221
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,680
I'm the victim of a sexual assault.
222
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,000
You need to be arresting
the guy in hospital."
223
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,160
So they smelt something fishy.
224
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,680
The flat was searched.
225
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,880
Material was seized.
226
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,440
And when police
finally looked at Sinaga's phone,
227
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,440
that's when police began to unravel
228
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,680
this huge ordeal of rape.
229
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,240
They found...
230
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,760
Well, just...
231
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,280
A huge collection of footage
that Sinaga had filmed.
232
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,200
This really harrowing footage
of him attacking
233
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,240
not just one man, not just two men,
234
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,160
not three men but, but dozens
235
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,440
being raped, and raped, and raped,
236
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,840
and sexually abused
over and over again over years.
237
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,800
They found the evidence,
and now they're at ease.
238
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,760
They're at the hospital bed
with police around him.
239
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,560
And that's when Sinaga
was arrested.
240
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,320
There were something like
3.2 terabytes of data
241
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,840
that were found
on two mobile phones,
242
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,120
several hard drives, laptops,
243
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,000
footage that he'd shot himself
244
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040
from two vantage points
on two iPhones.
245
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,320
It would be enough
to fill 330 DVDs.
246
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,040
So we're talking an absolute
monster's pile of recordings.
247
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,480
There were quite graphic
and close-up images
248
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,280
of the acts
that we included on the indictment.
249
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,840
He did do close-ups.
250
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,840
He did do more distance shots,
if I can describe them that way,
251
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,120
and they were across the two phones.
252
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,120
And he seemed
to get particular delight
253
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,000
in filming what had happened,
254
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,920
and one presumes in watching them
over and over again thereafter.
255
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Let's just say, pretty unpleasant
viewing for most people.
256
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,280
There were repeated attacks
on individuals throughout the night
257
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,080
with them obviously drugged
throughout the ordeal.
258
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,520
One particularly striking occasion
was when there were two males
259
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,280
in different rooms in the flat,
260
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,800
both of whom
had been lured there by Sinaga
261
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240
and given the lethal cocktail
that knocked them out
262
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,560
to make them absolutely resistless
against what he was about to do.
263
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,960
So again, that was a shock,
when we found that out,
264
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,680
in terms of the prosecutors,
experienced prosecutors,
265
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,040
dealing with sexual offences
day in day out.
266
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,520
Even for them, this was something,
you know, off the scale.
267
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,440
So there's a real intrigue
268
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,760
about serial killers
and mass rapists.
269
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,560
But I don't think anyone's
ever seen or...
270
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:00,080
I don't think anyone
could really conceive
271
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,240
of someone perpetrating
200 rapes and sexual assaults
272
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,680
in the way that Reynhard Sinaga did.
273
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,000
It was quite prolific.
274
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,360
So the oldest victim
was 36 years of age
275
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,280
and the youngest was just 17.
276
00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:23,200
All male, just like that.
277
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,720
In the main, the same modus operandi
278
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,720
striking late at night,
in the vicinity of his flat,
279
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,800
quite near to the hotels, bars,
280
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,720
various other sort
of recreational establishments,
281
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,920
if I can call them that,
in the middle of town.
282
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,640
He targeted mostly heterosexual men,
283
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,520
when they were kind of drunk
and waiting for buses or taxis home.
284
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,800
He preyed on them
285
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,920
by kind of offering them
somewhere to stay
286
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,680
while they kind of sobered up.
287
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,960
He'd help people
who lost their wallets,
288
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,600
he'd help people
whose phone's needed charging.
289
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,240
Any excuse really
to get them back to his flat.
290
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,920
Once there, almost every time,
291
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,600
play the Good Samaritan,
offer them a drink.
292
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,160
And drugged them, we think,
with GHB and raped them.
293
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
One of the most surprising to many
people things about this case
294
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,000
was that many of the victims
295
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,160
didn't remember
what happened to them.
296
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,840
It's unfathomable, almost.
297
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,200
It's really difficult
to comprehend for people.
298
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,240
We see stuff on the news.
299
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,440
You watch television programs,
almost nightly,
300
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,120
where there's a murder
or there's a serious rape
301
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,960
or sexual assault.
302
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,920
But when you're talking
about nearly 200 victims by one man,
303
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,080
that's on a different scale.
304
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,640
I've been prosecuting 30 years
305
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,920
and I've never come across
a case like it.
306
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Sinaga is probably...
307
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,920
Britain's, if not the world's,
most prolific rapist certainly
308
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,480
that's ever come before a court.
309
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,960
More men were attacked by Sinaga
310
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:14,360
than any other known perpetrator
of rape or sexual abuse
311
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,200
in Britain, in Europe,
perhaps even the world.
312
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,680
That's how big this was.
313
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,840
It hits you, it grabs you
because you think,
314
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,360
"it could happen to me."
315
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,640
We all walk home in the dark.
316
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,000
We all walk to work in the dark.
317
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,720
It could happen to anyone.
318
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:01,560
It's quite surreal and, like,
I'd say a bit more wary the place.
319
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,120
I still came for nights out
after it many time.
320
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,280
So that's not the issue.
321
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,640
I'm a bit more wary of this area
because of the whole incident.
322
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
I started wandering.
I didn't realise how far I'd walked.
323
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Literally, within this area here,
is where I was at.
324
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,120
Basically, where these double lines
are on the corners.
325
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,560
In all the accounts you see,
he was very friendly,
326
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,200
he was very open,
he was very welcoming.
327
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,640
So you didn't feel
intimidated by him.
328
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,680
He didn't have the aura of like...
329
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,320
You don't need to be wary of him.
330
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,360
He used it
as a way to get to you.
331
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,800
So this is the main centre
of the client area.
332
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,800
This whole space opens up,
333
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:53,160
and this is a joint group space
334
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,360
where some of the men who were
involved with the Sinaga case,
335
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,360
some of the men come here,
come into this drop in space.
336
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,280
Some of these rooms
are where the men come for therapy.
337
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:14,280
This has to be a safe and welcoming
space for all survivors,
338
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,160
those that have been directly
involved with the Sinaga case
339
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,760
and those that have been impacted
by the Sinaga case too.
340
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,120
I received a phone call
341
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,760
from a detective chief inspector
342
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,280
to ask me if I would go over
to the police headquarters
343
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,080
to have a conversation
about an emerging case.
344
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,560
Nobody at the time knew
how big this case was going to be.
345
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,120
I think he was one of the...
346
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,880
I think he was
one of the crown prosecutors
347
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,680
that had said, "We think
this might be the biggest rape case
348
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,280
in British legal history."
349
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,200
It has that... moment.
350
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,440
It has that gasp of breath moment.
351
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680
I don't think there's ever been
a more prolific rapist
352
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,520
before a court
anywhere as far as we can establish.
353
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,400
When the flat was searched,
a small collection of items
354
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,040
taken from victims by Sinaga
were found.
355
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,720
Business cards,
credit cards were some of them.
356
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,040
They found certain items
357
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:55,320
in either Sinaga's phone memory
or his flat.
358
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Like wallets, IDs, passports,
359
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,040
watches, or pictures of them,
360
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,800
screen grabs
of their Facebook accounts.
361
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,600
When they looked at his phone,
362
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,440
there was some contact details
363
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880
of some of the victims
contained in there.
364
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,680
Or even smaller things,
belt buckles perhaps,
365
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,720
that were regarded
as souvenirs by Sinaga,
366
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,320
and he kept them
to remember his victims by.
367
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,120
A sort of trophy, really.
368
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,040
And that's how police
began this process
369
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,960
of trying to identify his victims.
370
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,480
Because the victims don't know
371
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,400
or didn't know
until the police told them
372
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,120
that they had been offended against.
373
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,800
And because he hasn't in any way
374
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,960
volunteered information
to the police
375
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,400
we've had to work
with what the phone tells us.
376
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:11,080
They had certain material
to be able to identify some people.
377
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,360
So the police has to go
to people's houses to identify them.
378
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,760
And yeah, it must be
an incredibly difficult moment
379
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,880
when you get that knock on the door.
380
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,400
And there are several men
who got the knock on the door
381
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,360
from the police
and were told what had happened,
382
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,000
and said to them,
"You must have the wrong guy.
383
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,520
You must be mistaken
because it didn't happen to me.
384
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,560
I would know
if that happened to me."
385
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,920
But they were shown screen grabs
of themselves on Sinaga's phone
386
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:55,080
and yeah, realised
that actually had happened to them.
387
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,600
So when the story broke, a tweet
actually emerged of two guys,
388
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,040
one of whom was Sinaga
looking quite happy.
389
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,040
And the guy had tweeted in 2016
after staying over at Sinaga's house
390
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,240
to thank him for rescuing him
on a night out,
391
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,040
only when it became clear
in the news
392
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,120
that Sinaga was a rapist
and what his modus operandi was.
393
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,360
And was it clear
he hadn't rescued this guy at all,
394
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,360
he'd raped him
or sexually assaulted him
395
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,880
and that was how
that guy actually found out
396
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,600
that he'd been a victim
and he hadn't been rescued at all.
397
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,920
The conversation then moves
straight into victim care.
398
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,720
And after more deliberation
and conversation,
399
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,360
we collectively decided
400
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,960
that the best people
to support the police in that
401
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,520
were the crisis workers
over at the SARC,
402
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,800
at the Sexual Assault
Referral Centre.
403
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,880
They never wanted me
to actually see the videos,
404
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,960
but they did take screenshots of it
to prove that was me.
405
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,960
It was like a screenshot of me
like almost asleep.
406
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200
Of me, of my face,
of my t-shirt as well
407
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,960
and the jeans, the trousers
I was wearing that day.
408
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,280
I saw about four or five screenshots
that proved that was me.
409
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,080
It was very, again,
very surreal to see me like that.
410
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,880
It was weird.
411
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,760
I was just part of the case.
412
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,680
I knew I had to deal with it
just to be able to get on with it.
413
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,080
So I did, and then
he could be walking free.
414
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:09,280
I think we were sat in the office
when we first heard how many victims
415
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,840
there might have been.
416
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:16,560
Someone said it's around 200.
417
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,040
And we were like,
"No, this can't possibly be,"
418
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,000
because we would have heard of it.
419
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,600
The police would have told us,
420
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,800
so we didn't initially believe it
to be true.
421
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,560
But we walked across the road,
422
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,600
went to Manchester Crown Court,
and the trial was underway.
423
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,840
And I thought,
"I must be in the wrong trial."
424
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,080
I just couldn't stop looking at him.
425
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,400
He was tiny in comparison
426
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,760
to two security officers
he was sat in between.
427
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,280
He had shoulder length hair
and quite trendy glasses.
428
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,320
He had a baggy jumper on.
He was carrying a file.
429
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,120
He looked studious.
430
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,880
He looked clever.
431
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,440
He looked friendly.
432
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,200
He was chatting
with his two security officers.
433
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,840
And most of all, really,
he looked completely harmless.
434
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,240
I guess that's the thing
that makes him most dangerous,
435
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,280
it's how harmless he actually looks,
436
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,120
because that's what fooled
a lot of men into believing
437
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,440
that they could go back to his flat
and they'd be safe there.
438
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960
It was just incredible,
439
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,080
literally incredible,
440
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,600
because it just didn't seem to fit
the man who was sat in the dock.
441
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:49,320
And we had the first batch
of 12 victims for the first trial.
442
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,000
All the while, material was
being downloaded from the phones,
443
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,520
more and more victims
were being identified.
444
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,600
There was obviously the challenge
445
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,120
of having to watch
quite disturbing footage,
446
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,040
quite unpleasant footage
447
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,320
from the downloads
from Sinaga's phones.
448
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,680
It was played in court in full.
449
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,680
The Press couldn't see it,
but jurors watched it.
450
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Sinaga himself watched it,
the lawyers watched it.
451
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,760
The judge had our own screen
to watch it on as well.
452
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Some people
tried not to look for too long,
453
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,520
especially at the start
of the trials,
454
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,320
jurors were really uncomfortable
455
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,720
about watching this footage
for too long,
456
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,000
until they realised
that the whole trial essentially
457
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,360
was going to be watching
this footage for hours on end.
458
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,320
He, you know, maintained...
459
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,920
Some of it was
sort of a macabre role-play.
460
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,160
He insisted on maintaining
his "not guilty" plea,
461
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:04,560
that the victims
had all consented to this activity.
462
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,240
We obviously countered
463
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,880
his suggestion
of this being consensual
464
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,360
by saying, "Well,
look at the videos, Mr. Sinaga.
465
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,080
These people are comatose.
466
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,600
Some of them are snoring
whilst the activity is going on.
467
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,560
Some are vomiting.
468
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,200
Are you really trying to suggest
469
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,880
that these victims
consented to all this?"
470
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,920
I stood facing the jury,
he was to the left of me.
471
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:36,120
And I get my evidence to the jury.
472
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600
They'd already seen my videotape
of what happened to me.
473
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,640
So they're basically just crosses
out and leave me at this point.
474
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,160
In the court, he was laughing
and joking with the prison officer
475
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,080
while I was watching him.
476
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,520
He thought he was so important.
It's his day. He was special.
477
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,080
After the end of the first trial,
Sinaga was aware
478
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,720
that he'd been convicted.
479
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,280
After the end of the second trial,
he had been told
480
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,640
he would be serving
at least 15 years.
481
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,680
He insisted on maintaining
his not guilty plea,
482
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,440
even in the fourth trial.
483
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,360
Yeah, he just really seemed
to be enjoying the process
484
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,240
and showing absolutely no remorse
whatsoever during his sentencing,
485
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,040
which is the time when,
486
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,680
if these people
are going to say anything,
487
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,360
before they're taken down
for the next 30 years
488
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,800
and are never seen in public again,
489
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,240
they'll say something,
it's their final chance.
490
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,480
But he said nothing.
491
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,600
He was really blasted
about the whole thing.
492
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,080
The judge
didn't take kindly to that.
493
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:53,480
I remember she ordered him
to stand up while she addressed him,
494
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,280
while she sentenced him.
495
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,800
He looked straight ahead at her.
496
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,400
His hands were clasped
in front of him like this.
497
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,600
At the end of it, she just looked
really sternly at him and said,
498
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,160
"Take him down, take him away."
499
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,000
And the two dock officers
just let him down,
500
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,040
and he didn't really look
at anyone on his way out.
501
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,480
He just had this sort of thing...
a smile on his face almost.
502
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,040
One can only assume
that he takes some sort of delight,
503
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,720
get some sort of kick
out of watching his victims
504
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,120
have to go through it in court,
give evidence,
505
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,320
describe in detail
what happened to them.
506
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,040
In the same way, presumably,
he derived some sort of satisfaction
507
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,360
from replaying what was on his phone
508
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,600
to watch the acts
over and over again.
509
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:06,520
Was there ever any sort
of psychological analysis of him?
510
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,200
No, because he won't, he would have
to agree to that sort of analysis,
511
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,120
that sort of assessment in custody.
512
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,840
And to my knowledge,
he's just disengaged entirely
513
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,760
with the authorities
514
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,360
that would do that sort of thing
in our prison service.
515
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,440
So again, he remains
516
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,680
something of a mystery
in that regard.
517
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,040
He was just the ultimate narcissist.
518
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:44,360
He enjoyed
people speaking about him,
519
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,600
he enjoyed talking about himself,
520
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:52,560
and even tried to do
a PhD on sort of sexual behaviour
521
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,760
of Southeast Asian men
in Manchester,
522
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,000
which his ex-flatmate said
was basically an autobiography.
523
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,040
He was just a man sort of
totally wrapped up in his own world.
524
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Personally speaking,
I think that we are certainly
525
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,840
on some kind of...
526
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,320
psychopath spectrum,
for want of a better word.
527
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:30,200
The way that he has conducted
himself in court...
528
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,280
I just think
there's something very...
529
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,360
unnatural
about that kind of behaviour.
530
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,640
The Sinaga case is a prime example
of why rape isn't about sex,
531
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:55,800
or sexuality or sexual orientation.
532
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,200
It's about power.
533
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,680
He preyed on men
who were heterosexual,
534
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,560
but, as you know, a good-looking guy
in a liberal city,
535
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,840
he could have had
lots of sexual relationships
536
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,240
with consenting men
if he'd have chosen to do so.
537
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,960
But obviously for him
it was about this kind of dominance
538
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,760
over these guys and taking something
that wasn't his.
539
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,720
His modus operandi,
I guess, as an offender
540
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,040
was driven by this kind of power
and control over people, it seems.
541
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,760
Sinaga seemed to get
some perverse satisfaction
542
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,720
of not just himself being able
to watch the footage back,
543
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,120
but all these people
in this courtroom
544
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,280
and the judge herself
being able to watch this footage.
545
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,920
It was like he was enjoying
the spectacle a second time.
546
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,280
And there was some speculation
547
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,840
among members
of the press and lawyers
548
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,760
about whether
he was pleading not guilty,
549
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,880
despite the overwhelming evidence,
550
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,760
just so that he could go to trial,
551
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,040
so that he could then watch
all this footage again.
552
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,600
He never looked lost during my case.
553
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,960
And the judge's last statement
on the last case
554
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,240
was he wanted to take it to court,
555
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,520
he wanted to be
the celebrity almost.
556
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,440
The judge called Reynhard Sinaga
"an evil sexual predator,
557
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,200
who had shown not
a just of remorse."
558
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,280
Being a serial rapist, he's starting
a life sentence tonight
559
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,120
after he was found guilty
of attacking at least 48 men.
560
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,000
In these four criminal trials
561
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,400
that have been going on
over the past two years,
562
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:06,920
the police suspects there could be
up to 190 victims of Sinaga in total
563
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,680
over a 10-year campaign
of violence, sexual crime
564
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,320
based out of his flat
in central Manchester.
565
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,280
The Judge Suzanne Goddard QC
566
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,360
described Reynhard Sinaga
as a monster,
567
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,800
and looking at him
as he stood in the dock,
568
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,640
she said he seemed
to be enjoying the trial process
569
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,560
even as he was standing
to be sentenced.
570
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,920
And the other thing that we have
just found in the last few minutes
571
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,680
is that the Home Secretary
has ordered the review.
572
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,720
Sinaga will serve
at least 30 years in jail.
573
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,560
Ben Chapman reports.
574
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,680
More and more people
are coming forward
575
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,440
when this sentencing happened
576
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,600
and the story went out
into the public domain.
577
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,320
There is this huge rush of people
to charities
578
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,400
like Survivors Manchester
and Survivors UK saying,
579
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,640
"I think I may have been abused
by this man."
580
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,960
So I think rape, sexual abuse of man
581
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,600
is much more common
than people think,
582
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,960
than kind of what the media
would have us believe.
583
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,880
What gets
into the public consciousness
584
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,000
is just the tip of the iceberg.
585
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,680
These four criminal trials...
586
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,920
When the news broke about Sinaga,
one of his victims' tweet emerged.
587
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,880
And some of the comments
in response to the tweet
588
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,440
were absolutely horrific.
589
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,000
People kind of making fun of him,
590
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,280
homophobic jokes
about sex with a man and so on.
591
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,440
Ridiculing him
as a man who've been raped,
592
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,640
and not taking it seriously at all,
593
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:52,240
which I think reflects the view
our society to a large extent has
594
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,040
about men being raped
595
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,600
and men kind of been victimised
in that way.
596
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,280
What a lot of men experience
when they speak out about rape
597
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:10,480
or the way that a man being raped
is kind of the source of ridicule,
598
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:15,400
rather than treat it as
a very serious, traumatising crime.
599
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,920
Shame and guilt have become
the hallmark of the male survivor,
600
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,320
of the male victim.
601
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,760
And I think that's something
really important
602
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,560
about shame, guilt, vulnerability...
603
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,640
They're not the attributes
of the prince on the horseback.
604
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,880
If we continue
to perpetuate those ideas,
605
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,600
we're never going to allow men
to speak out.
606
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,640
Especially in my situation,
I felt like I was less believed.
607
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,440
I'm not bashing the police.
608
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,880
You could say they even think
it can actually happen,
609
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,520
but it's not true, is it?
610
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,160
If a woman did that,
611
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:12,440
they would've been praise for saving
themselves while I was arrested.
612
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,040
Many men speak of being strong,
613
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,120
and like a lot of that stigmatises,
but the normal male way is,
614
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,120
"We don't talk," and it's just...
615
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,080
It does happen.
616
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,760
This is probably as common as women,
but no one ever talks about it.
617
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,120
If it was a girl, they were sent her
straight to St. Mary's,
618
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,480
get her checked out,
and then if you are not...
619
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,000
Not the other way round
and wait, two, three days after it.
620
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:53,280
The drug that he used stays maximum
12 hours to get out of your systems.
621
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,680
It gets out of your system
622
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,160
and you've lost major part
of evidence there.
623
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,240
I wasn't sent to St. Mary's,
624
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,360
I was basically pursued
for 24 hours.
625
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,600
I was the perpetrator
and he was the victim.
626
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,160
Until they found the phone evidence
that proves otherwise.
627
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,440
I'd like to think I will be fine,
I've just tried to get on with it.
628
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:23,920
I'm alive, if he's away,
629
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,200
I don't need
all the extra stuff after.
630
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,080
We've got to be the change makers.
631
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,280
We've got to make sure
that the future boys
632
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,120
are going to come forward,
because let's be clear,
633
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,720
we are not going to tackle
sexual violence like that.
634
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,840
It just isn't going to happen.
635
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,360
But what we've got to do
is we've got to make sure
636
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,640
that any future survivors,
any future victims,
637
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:55,480
any future boys that are abused,
any future men that are raped,
638
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,320
we've got to make sure
that they understand
639
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,160
there is support available.
640
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:03,080
We've got to make sure
that there is support available.
641
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,200
And we've got to make sure
it is as easy as possible
642
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,160
for people to step forward.
643
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,960
So I think no matter what you...
644
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,880
if you think it's happened to you
then you got to come forward.
645
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:19,000
The stigma of male rape
is very much...
646
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,840
You can't talk about and all.
647
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,320
Men don't talk whereas...
He doesn't, like...
648
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,320
He's eating you up from the inside.
649
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,680
When you can talk
to people about it, it helps you.
650
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,560
There's support in Manchester,
in all the areas,
651
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,000
where you can be supported
and get through it.
652
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,200
I'm just another boy from Manchester
who just wants to live his life.
653
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,760
How likely or how plausible is it
654
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,200
that there are further victims yet
that we don't know about?
655
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,680
I think there are,
there will almost certainly be
656
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,680
further victims
that we don't know of yet.
657
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,880
As I say, we've had
to really just restrict our inquiry
658
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:25,920
to what Sinaga's phones
have revealed.
659
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,640
There could be phones,
other devices that he's got rid of.
660
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,640
Yeah, there's still people
who don't know.
661
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,120
There will be people who don't know.
662
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,320
And there'll be people
who won't want to know either.
663
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,360
But the police
664
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,800
are still trying to address
as many people as possible.
665
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,680
They'll be looking
at all these souvenirs,
666
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,960
trying to connect them.
667
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,280
There remain
quite a significant number
668
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,320
that despite our best efforts,
669
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,360
have not been able to be identified.
670
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,520
And the police continue to try
to work out who these men are,
671
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,560
but without so much success
as we speak now.
672
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,480
Whether there'll ever be
a final tally
673
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,240
of how many people
he actually attacked,
674
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,760
remains to be seen.
675
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,640
It's really a known...
676
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:51,880
I think that 200 figure
677
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,720
is from the souvenirs
678
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,760
that police have been able
to trace to people.
679
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,800
So that may, in some ways,
be a conservative figure.
680
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:01,840
We just don't know.
681
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,520
The only person
who might have any idea
682
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,000
is citing strange words.
683
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,160
And for the time
that he's been in there,
684
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,800
which is more than two years,
in August, being in prison,
685
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,640
he's been refusing
to engage with detectives,
686
00:53:33,720 --> 00:53:36,680
he's been refusing
to engage with psychologists,
687
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,880
he's been refusing
to engage with probation officers.
688
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,960
The only one with the answers
in this is Reynhard Sinaga.
689
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:52,280
He's the only one who really knows
the extent of what he's done.
690
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,480
I just think
it would be ludicrous to assume
691
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:21,680
that everybody who has been
directly impacted by Sinaga
692
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,440
has now spoken out.
693
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,760
I think that would be ludicrous,
to assume that.
694
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,960
Even if it's just one person
that hasn't spoken out,
695
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,800
there's still someone out there.
696
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:39,760
There may also be people out there
who have just no idea what happened.
697
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,520
There'll be people out there
watching this
698
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,840
who have never spoken out,
699
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,920
who are sat there silently,
700
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,560
wondering whether
they should say anything.
701
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,280
There are people
who will be out there
702
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,800
watching this documentary who are...
703
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,520
worried about anybody ever finding
out what happened to them.
704
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,200
I'd always say to everybody,
705
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,120
doesn't matter
whether they have been
706
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,200
directly or indirectly affected
by this particular case.
707
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,280
There are people
who are willing to listen
708
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,880
and there are people
that want to help,
709
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,400
and when you feel ready,
710
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,200
then you should know
that there are people
711
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,800
willing to give you
that right support.
712
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,640
