BRITAIN’S most prolific rapist could serve the rest of his 40-year sentence in Indonesia after officials began talks on sending him home.
Reynhard Sinaga, 41, was caged for 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes, after plying 48 male victims with drug-laced booze.

But Indonesian officials have offered British diplomats a prisoner swap for him, after talks with Sinaga’s wealthy parents.
An Indonesian government spokesman said yesterday: “We have asked his parents if they would agree, and they cried, wanting their child to come back.”
Yusril Ihza Mahendra, a senior minister for law and human rights affairs, said: “No matter how wrong a citizen is, the country has the obligation to defend its citizen.”
Sinaga, who was jailed in 2020 over his crimes at his Manchester flat, was attacked by other prisoners at HMP Wakefield in July 2023.
He came to the UK as a student from Indonesia in 2005 and spent more than a decade drugging and raping men.
He was caught after a victim woke during an assault in 2017.
Cops later found thousands of hours of sex assault clips on his phone, sparking the largest rape investigation to date.
The British embassy in Jakarta said it does not have a lag transfer agreement with Indonesia.
