See How Christian Student Became World Most Prolific Rapist

Manipulative serial rapist Reynhard Sinaga convinced many of his victims he was a Good Samaritan before going on to drug and rape them at his Manchester flat.

The 36-year-old made his victims feel as though he had done them a favour by offering them a floor to sleep on for the night.

The churchgoing student had previously worked on a thesis about gay and bisexual men after leaving Indonesia to live in Manchester.

Sinaga was born into a relatively wealthy family in Indonesia and arrived in the UK on a student visa in 2007 financed by his parents, before studying at Manchester and Leeds universities.

It was from the vantage point of his city centre apartment that he targeted lone young men who were worse for wear from alcohol after being separated from friends or on their way home.

Sinaga graduated from the University of Manchester in 2009 with an MSc degree in Planning and again in 2011 with an MA degree in Sociology.

No concerns of a sexual nature, or of any other matters, were ever raised with the university, confirmed officials.
From 2012 he commuted monthly to the University of Leeds as part of his studies for a PhD.
