That multiple rapist has been jailed for thirty years and police are still going through the pictures on his telephone to identify some of his victims.

There is no mention of him having HIV or any other disease and many of his victims don't even know they are because they were drugged.

I wonder if it might not be far more traumatic for some of these young men to find out that they are victims than to be totally unaware .

Apparently, he didn't have HIV.
Also, some of his victims who have been contacted, were so drugged, they didn't know what had happened to them - and a few have walked away, as they don't want to see/know what happened to them.
I think I'd be the same.

The deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor said Sinaga had an "Extreme sense of sexual entitlement that almost defies belief".
Any form of 'extreme sense of entitlement' reduces the humanity of a person.

My personal opinion is that most will be unaware that they are victims so best to leave them unaware, I also think that they wouldn’t be able to give evidence because they are unaware.

Sad to say ignorance, in this case, may be bliss.

He targeted young heterosexual guys who may have been a bit worse for wear after a night out

Evil guy

It may be more traumatic for guys he had targeted but aren’t aware of what happened to be told what he did to them

Probably best to let things lie in most cases

he should be put down like a rabid animal, think of the pain and distress he has caused. Now I've upset a lot on here no doubt but I'm brassed off with "liberalism" in the UK and all the PC crap.

I reckon in the “honour among thieves” thing his fellow prisoners will make him suffer.

But it seems as if he didn't cause a lot of pain and distress. Most of them didn't even know it had happened.

To my mind, the worst part of most rapes and murders is the physical and mental suffering. To be honest, I would not have minded dying in the same way as one of Harold Shipman's patients but the idea of dying at the hands of Fred West is a quite different ball game.
