The father of the UK's most prolific serial rapist Reynhard Sinaga said his son deserves to be jailed for life.
Sinaga, a 36-year-old PhD student from Indonesia, was found guilty of 159 sexual offences against 48 men on Monday
He searched drunk men around nightclubs near his flat in Manchester, before luring them to his home on and sexually assaulting them.
The victims – who were mainly heterosexual – had little or no memory of the hours that followed as Sinaga filmed the sessions on his mobile phone. They later left the apartment unaware they had been violated.
The rapist was only caught when one of the men regained consciousness and fought him off before he went to the police and crucially handed in Sinaga’s phone.
He has been found guilty of a total of 159 offences committed between January 2015 and May 2017.
These include 136 counts of rape, 13 counts of sexual assault, eight counts of attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.
Speaking for the first time to BBC Indonesia, the student's father said: "We accept the verdict.
"His punishment fits his crimes.
"I don't want to discuss the case any further."
Sinaga must serve a minimum of 30 years in custody before he can be considered for parole.
At a sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court heard Judge Suzanne Goddard QC,told the defendant: "You are an evil serial sexual predator who has preyed upon young men who came into the city centre wanting nothing more than a good night out with their friends.
“One of your victims described you as a monster. The scale and enormity of your offending confirms this as an accurate description.”
