How did Britain鈥檚 worst serial rapist get away with it?

Reynhard Sinaga preyed on men for over two years.

This month Reynhard Sinaga was found guilty of drugging, raping and sexually assaulting 48 men. The judge told the 36-year-old student from Indonesia that he will 鈥渘ever be safe to be released鈥. Sinaga targeted young men on nights out in Manchester and lured them back to his flat where he would spike their drinks with GHB, a date rape drug, filming the attacks on his phone. Sinaga was offending for over two years before he was caught. Many of his victims were unaware they had been raped until they were contacted by the police.

In this episode we speak to 91热爆 journalist Daniel De Simone, who covered the trials, and Endang Nurdin from the 91热爆鈥檚 Indonesia Service, to hear how the story has been received there. We also talk to forensic toxicologist Simon Elliot about the dangers of GHB.
