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.

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

None of his victims suspected the malevolent intentions of the 36-year-old mature student as he approached them in the street.

And none of his victims felt intimidated by Sinaga – slight in stature and friendly by appearance.

One said Sinaga was ‘really nice’ and ‘looked after him’ after he lost his friends and his phone battery had ran out.

Another thought the defendant had acted as a Good Samaritan after Sinaga said he looked after him when he found him lying on the ground near a hotel.

Manchester Crown Court heard one complainant was sitting on the kerbside after the battery on his mobile phone was drained and he was approached by Sinaga. The defendant invited him to his apartment to charge the device but instead went on to drug and sexually violate him on camera.

He too believed Sinaga had acted as a Good Samaritan and was grateful before he eventually learned the full horror of what had happened to him when the police called.

A third man fell victim to Sinaga’s phone charge ruse as he attempted to flag down a taxi when he was unable to order an Uber journey.

Several of his victims felt guilty when they awoke the next day for troubling a stranger who they thought had provided them with somewhere to stay or for being sick in his flat.

Others felt they had undergone a ‘weird experience’ but none had any real concerns or suspicions, with one complainant telling the court: ‘I thought briefly he might have done something, but I thought stuff like that doesn’t happen.’

None of the victims, of whom 45 were heterosexual and 26 were students, when contacted by the police wanted to know the detail of what happened to them.

Two attempted to commit suicide as a result of severe depression.
