KUALA LUMPUR:The home city of an Indonesian man identified as Britain’s “most prolific rapist” has ordered raids targeting LGBT+ people, prompting fears of a wider backlash.
The conviction of Reynhard Sinaga, 36, for sexually assaulting dozens of young men in Manchester, the British city where he was studying, has dominated headlines in Indonesia, where homosexuality is taboo.
The city Depok on Java island, where his family lives, has ordered officials to step up raids in housing areas to “prevent the spread of (LGBT+) behaviour.”
