Britain's most notorious serial rapist 'attacked in prison in planned hit'

Reynhard Sinaga, 41, was jailed in January 2020 for carrying out 159 sex offences including 136 rapes of young men after tricking them into taking a date rape drug

Britain's most prolific rapist was attacked behind bars and just "seconds away from serious harm" following an alleged planned hit by inmates.

Reynhard Sinaga, 41, was jailed in January 2020 for carrying out 159 sex offences including 136 rapes of young men after tricking them into taking a date rape drug. He is currently serving a minimum of 40 years behind bars for the heinous crimes.

The rapist is said to have narrowly avoided serious injuries following the alleged planned attack at HMP Wakefield in July before it was stopped by prison guards. He is said to be "in danger" and a "clear target" for inmates due to his sick crimes. A source told The Sun: “Sinaga is arrogant and universally loathed. He is a clear target in prison because of his depraved crimes. He was seconds away from extremely serious harm. He is in danger.”

Jack McRae, 32, has been charged with attempted GBH with intent of Sinaga. He has moved to Frankland prison in Durham following the alleged assault. Sinaga arrived to the UK as a student from Indonesia in 2005 and spent over a decade drugging and raping men at his flat in Manchester.

The predator, who had completed a Masters and was studying for a PhD, would watch from his apartment window for any "waifs and strays' in the area before heading down to speak to them. "He would just go prowling the streets looking for his victims. young guys on a night out in Manchester city centre with friends," Detective Sergeant Kimberley Hames-Evans previously said.

"They'd become separated somehow. Maybe ejected for being too drunk or gone outside for a smoke. The point at which then Sinaga makes his move, picks them off."

Once inside they were drugged before being assaulted and raped - with the evil predator recording the attacks and keeping personal belongings as twisted 'trophies' from his victims. While they were still in his flat, the rapist would go onto their personal Facebook accounts and keep their personal photos of holidays, friends and family.

He catalogued these in a "horribly morbid" way and would boast to his friends - not about the actual offences but what he described as 'relationships'. When officers seized Sinaga's phone they found he had filmed each of his attacks - amounting to hundreds of hours of footage - which was painstakingly gone through to spot any details.

All together there was 3TB of data, which is equivalent to 750,000 photos and 750 DVDs, with the numbers of victims going from 15-a-year in 2014 to 60-a-year in 2017. Revealing the footage found on the phone was "horrendous", DS Hames-Evans says, adding: "There were videos upon videos of young men being sexually abused and raped. We get lots of reports of rape but seldom do you actually see one happen with your own eyes."
