Statement of Rape Victim Reynhard Sinaga, Experiencing Depression and Attempted Suicide

Kapanlagi.com - The name Reynhard Sinaga currently dominates various headlines in the global mass media. The Indonesian man is said to have committed acts of rape and sexual violence against hundreds of men in Manchester, England, where he currently resides.

Reynhard has been carrying out these actions continuously since January 2015, but they only came to light in the legal realm around July 2017. After undergoing examination and trial processes, the man from Jambi was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Reynhard used cunning methods to deceive his victims. First, he would act kindly towards his targets before eventually inviting them to his apartment. There, Reynhard would administer a high dose of sleeping pills to make the targets unconscious, and then commit his reprehensible acts.

Furthermore, Reynhard always recorded every scene he performed and kept the files for personal consumption. Meanwhile, the effects of the drugs also caused some victims to have no recollection of what had happened to them after waking up.

Many victims were unaware that they had become victims of rape until they were informed by the police with video and photo evidence found on Reynhard's phone. Naturally, the reactions of the victims varied.

According to the Manchester Evening News, there was a victim who was very shocked, depressed, and attempted suicide on Christmas Day. In addition, there were also those who felt so disgusted that they asked a doctor to remove their large intestine.

"I feel completely shattered. How could I be so stupid? I left the club and suddenly woke up in someone's apartment. It really wasn't me," said one victim who became severely depressed.

2. Mother of the Victim Cries Every Night

Furthermore, the victim also explained how the incident had destroyed their happiness in life. Even the family was deeply worried and saddened upon learning that their child had become a victim of rape.

"I shouldn't be treated like this. Every morning when I wake up, I immediately think of this, and before going to sleep, I always think about it. I remember my mother crying all night. I have never experienced anything as terrible as this in my life. These have been the worst 2 years of my life," continued the victim.

Reynhard's actions were only brought to the legal realm after one of his victims reported his undetected actions for 2.5 years. The story goes that a teenage boy regained consciousness while being raped by Reynhard and fought back.

As a result, the boy hit the perpetrator on the head until he fainted, and then reported the incident to the police. From there, the long history of Reynhard's crimes was revealed through evidence found on his phone and laptop.
