So, if you could just start
by giving me a brief rundown of what happened?
I remember the first time I walked into the courtroom for the case,
and I saw Sinaga sat
between two security officers in the dock.
And I thought, "That can't be him.
I must be in the wrong trial".
I just couldn't stop looking at him.
We were notified in this office in June 2017,
that Sinaga had been arrested.
And really the case began to build from that moment.
He looked studious.
He looked clever.
And most of all, he looked harmless, completely harmless.
And I guess that's the thing that makes him most dangerous,
it's how harmless he actually looks.
It was something that happened so local to us,
so close to us.
These were bars that we'd been out in.
These were streets that we've walked.
A serial rapist is starting a life sentence tonight.
Stalking the streets of Manchester,
he preyed on vulnerable often drunk men.
It was in this area of Manchester
that Reynhard Sinaga targeted his victims.
Night after night, Sinaga would leave
his Manchester flat to go and find victims.
Reynhard Sinaga came to the UK in 2007 on a student visa.
The judge describes Sinaga as a monster.
This is an absolutely unprecedented case.
He poses a Good Samaritan, offering help.
Police found mobile phones and watches kept as mementos.
It has been devastating for them.
Reynhard Sinaga is a deprived individual.
Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga.
As someone who've thought about taking their own lives.
They found hundreds of hours of video.
On one occasion, it took him just 60 seconds to pick up a victim.
A 10-year campaign of violence, sexual crime.
Taunting Central Manchester at night from the shadows.
This is a case which begs some terrible questions.
All of which has helped it to go on for so long
without having been uncovered.
What makes Manchester a great city is that it's vibrant.
It's a fun place to go out for a night out.
It's welcoming, it's accepting.
We help each other and we're proud here to be Mancunians.
Part of the reason Sinaga loved Manchester
is that he could be himself, he could kind of express himself.
He said this to his ex-boyfriend who I interviewed.
He said Sinaga told him he didn't like growing up in Indonesia
because he couldn't express who he was.
That's why he moved to Manchester and he just loved it.
He could be who he was.
He could be openly gay, could enjoy nights out.
He could grow his hair long, he could wear what he wanted, and...
And he, you know, he didn't like going back to Indonesia.
Every time he had to go back, he would cut his hair short.
He didn't seem to have a great relationship with his father
according to his ex-boyfriend that we spoke to.
He was probably coming to terms with quite a difficult...
Well, it must have been a difficult upbringing
for, you know, a young man coming to terms
with his sexuality in Indonesia to a strict Christian family.
When he got to Manchester, of course, he absolutely loved it,
especially the four bars and clubs where it happened.
So this is Factory nightclub,
which is a really popular club for students
and in this area actually on the whole
and is quite popular with students and the universities,
just kind of a ten minutes' walk away.
And then down here, just the base of the next building
is where Sinaga lived,
and here is the entrance to his apartment.
And sometimes, the queue from Factory nightclub is so long,
it pretty much went under his window.
We could see people in the queue from his window,
but this just shows this is the area where lots of students go out.
So it's kind of, you know, lots of opportunities for him
to take advantage of people.
The four bars and clubs where it happened
are all incredibly popular, busy parts of the city centre.
And everyone know now what happened there.
That night basically we started off,
met at a friend's house about ten or after, maybe earlier.
I had a few drinks there.
I think two or three drinks of Budweiser before going out.
Then I went across to Factory.
In this bar, I think I got a couple more double vodka lemonade.
Quite a few more drinks.
It's quite, quiet-ish at this point still.
I see my friends went to the Tyler. They go and I just wave.
I lost them, so I go outside for a bit to cool down.
There it's easy to phone them, when I'm outside.
Once outside, I weren't able to contact them
because obviously they're inside a club.
Music's loud, you know, nobody hears a phone vibrating.
I just wait outside for another 15, 20 minutes.
Outside I sat on a step on the side.
And I see this buddy walking past.
He catches my eye,
and he starts walking over to me.
He comes, sits next to me,
starts talking about general studies,
about his school, how his college is going.
He's just like a normal student, so I thought.
Simulates to me a very friendly and open...
I had nothing to worry about, I thought.
I thought he's just a student looking after another student.
He offered me to go back to his to keep warm,
"while you wait for your friends contact you."
It's probably about one o'clock, so it is quite cold outside.
I walked back with him
past the club and then into his flat.
He offered me a few drinks, a few shots,
because we were still drinking at this point.
And I thought nothing at this point, nothing really to worry about.
He's just a normal guy who's asking me to stay inside, keep warm.
In Sinaga's flat, there was a sort of cocktail table
full of various spirits and mixers,
which is where he would have got the drinks
for the guys who came back to his flat.
As he brought the drinks, I went to the toilet.
I came back, shots were poured
and then I ended up taking the two shots.
So it's okay, right, ready. What a fireball it was!
Tasted fine, it was normal.
There was a white, clear drink, like a Sambuca or vodka.
As soon as I had that one, my head was all over the place.
I felt like it was gonna fall.
I started tumbling to the bathroom.
At that point, I tried to call my friends.
I texted them, I wanted to say, "This is where I am."
He stops me, basically grabs my hands
to stop me from phoning them.
He says, "I know what you're about to say."
You need to relax, you need to rest.
And at that point, he took my phone off me.
For the next five hours or so,
I don't remember anything.
There was a search for a drug that we believe Sinaga used.
But surprisingly, there was no trace of that.
And so one can only assume that Sinaga's been meticulous
in disposing of anything that might link him physically
to the use of that drug.
GHB, the date rape drug, is also very easy to make.
Date rape drugs, as they're often called,
are usually odourless, tasteless, colourless.
It can make someone incapacitated
and absolutely have no memory of what happened.
Symptoms of drugging include loss of muscle control,
problems talking, problems seeing, even stomach problems.
GHB is out there and being used to sexually assaulted young girls.
You would typically expect the effects of GHB
to come on within around about 15 to 20 minutes.
If somebody was to invite somebody back to the house
and offer him a drink then the amount is so small
it's easy just to drop that
into any kind of soft drink or alcoholic drink,
and to not really kind of realise that you're taking anything.
Again there's that risk of overdose
and become unconscious, kind of a bit of induced coma.
And because of people kind of lose their consciousness
or they have memory loss,
it's really difficult for people to remember.
I woke up with my face down on the pillow
with my jeans and pants down, by my knee area.
I was on the floor on that quilt.
Next to me is a cupboard and a drawer.
If you walk into the door, would be in the far right corner.
And my head slides aside.
I turned around and I saw he was on top of me.
I was really disorientated, I didn't really know where I was.
I've just woken up from being drugged for five hours or so,
so I didn't have any recollection of where I actually was.
As soon as he realised that I was up,
he's actually trying to pull me down.
He was pulling my T-shirts to keep me basically in his room.
I was scared and didn't know what to do.
I was so disorientated,
all the adrenaline was pumping freely.
This guy is biting me, hitting me,
trying to stop me from leaving the apartment.
I hit him finally and I go then.
Once I basically leave that room to escape his apartment,
he takes me again there.
He just runs and headbutts me
and I basically throw him over the top of me
I hit him trying to get him to let go of me.
Finally, he lets go of me and that's when I come out the door.
Once I escaped the apartment, I ran out of the fire exit.
I see some person walking across the road.
I basically went over to him, asked him to use his phone,
so I can phone my mum.
He's very worried.
He doesn't want to give me his phone
because I'm covered in mine and Sinaga's blood.
But after a bit, I plead and he gives me his phone
and lets me phone the police.
Sinaga was taken out of his flat in Montana house on a stretcher.
They told me to go alongside to the police station
and they took him to the hospital.
He was in high intensive care for a few days.
The lad beat him up so badly
that paramedics initially believed he had bleed on the brain.
And the victim of the sexual assault was actually arrested himself
for assaulting Sinaga.
I was questioned as the perpetrator.
I was the one who beat this man up
and the police said that I basically chose to meet this guy
and then something went wrong so I beat him up.
So for the full weekend, he was the victim,
I was the perpetrator.
Whilst in hospital,
the suspicions began to build up in the police's mind
that he was just too keen to get his phones back.
He was extremely agitated and persistent
in wanting to recover his phones.
Because the guy who'd been arrested for assault,
had told the police, "No, I'm the victim of rape.
I'm the victim of a sexual assault.
You need to be arresting the guy in hospital."
So they smelt something fishy.
The flat was searched.
Material was seized.
And when police finally looked at Sinaga's phone,
that's when police began to unravel
this huge ordeal of rape.
They found...
Well, just...
A huge collection of footage that Sinaga had filmed.
This really harrowing footage of him attacking
not just one man, not just two men,
not three men but, but dozens
being raped, and raped, and raped,
and sexually abused over and over again over years.
They found the evidence, and now they're at ease.
They're at the hospital bed with police around him.
And that's when Sinaga was arrested.
There were something like 3.2 terabytes of data
that were found on two mobile phones,
several hard drives, laptops,
footage that he'd shot himself
from two vantage points on two iPhones.
It would be enough to fill 330 DVDs.
So we're talking an absolute monster's pile of recordings.
There were quite graphic and close-up images
of the acts that we included on the indictment.
He did do close-ups.
He did do more distance shots, if I can describe them that way,
and they were across the two phones.
And he seemed to get particular delight
in filming what had happened,
and one presumes in watching them over and over again thereafter.
Let's just say, pretty unpleasant viewing for most people.
There were repeated attacks on individuals throughout the night
with them obviously drugged throughout the ordeal.
One particularly striking occasion was when there were two males
in different rooms in the flat,
both of whom had been lured there by Sinaga
and given the lethal cocktail that knocked them out
to make them absolutely resistless against what he was about to do.
So again, that was a shock, when we found that out,
in terms of the prosecutors, experienced prosecutors,
dealing with sexual offences day in day out.
Even for them, this was something, you know, off the scale.
So there's a real intrigue
about serial killers and mass rapists.
But I don't think anyone's ever seen or...
I don't think anyone could really conceive
of someone perpetrating 200 rapes and sexual assaults
in the way that Reynhard Sinaga did.
It was quite prolific.
So the oldest victim was 36 years of age
and the youngest was just 17.
All male, just like that.
In the main, the same modus operandi
striking late at night, in the vicinity of his flat,
quite near to the hotels, bars,
various other sort of recreational establishments,
if I can call them that, in the middle of town.
He targeted mostly heterosexual men,
when they were kind of drunk and waiting for buses or taxis home.
He preyed on them
by kind of offering them somewhere to stay
while they kind of sobered up.
He'd help people who lost their wallets,
he'd help people whose phone's needed charging.
Any excuse really to get them back to his flat.
Once there, almost every time,
play the Good Samaritan, offer them a drink.
And drugged them, we think, with GHB and raped them.
One of the most surprising to many people things about this case
was that many of the victims
didn't remember what happened to them.
It's unfathomable, almost.
It's really difficult to comprehend for people.
We see stuff on the news.
You watch television programs, almost nightly,
where there's a murder or there's a serious rape
or sexual assault.
But when you're talking about nearly 200 victims by one man,
that's on a different scale.
I've been prosecuting 30 years
and I've never come across a case like it.
Sinaga is probably...
Britain's, if not the world's, most prolific rapist certainly
that's ever come before a court.
More men were attacked by Sinaga
than any other known perpetrator of rape or sexual abuse
in Britain, in Europe, perhaps even the world.
That's how big this was.
It hits you, it grabs you because you think,
"it could happen to me."
We all walk home in the dark.
We all walk to work in the dark.
It could happen to anyone.
It's quite surreal and, like, I'd say a bit more wary the place.
I still came for nights out after it many time.
So that's not the issue.
I'm a bit more wary of this area because of the whole incident.
I started wandering. I didn't realise how far I'd walked.
Literally, within this area here, is where I was at.
Basically, where these double lines are on the corners.
In all the accounts you see, he was very friendly,
he was very open, he was very welcoming.
So you didn't feel intimidated by him.
He didn't have the aura of like...
You don't need to be wary of him.
He used it as a way to get to you.
So this is the main centre of the client area.
This whole space opens up,
and this is a joint group space
where some of the men who were involved with the Sinaga case,
some of the men come here, come into this drop in space.
Some of these rooms are where the men come for therapy.
This has to be a safe and welcoming space for all survivors,
those that have been directly involved with the Sinaga case
and those that have been impacted by the Sinaga case too.
I received a phone call
from a detective chief inspector
to ask me if I would go over to the police headquarters
to have a conversation about an emerging case.
Nobody at the time knew how big this case was going to be.
I think he was one of the...
I think he was one of the crown prosecutors
that had said, "We think this might be the biggest rape case
in British legal history."
It has that... moment.
It has that gasp of breath moment.
I don't think there's ever been a more prolific rapist
before a court anywhere as far as we can establish.
When the flat was searched, a small collection of items
taken from victims by Sinaga were found.
Business cards, credit cards were some of them.
They found certain items
in either Sinaga's phone memory or his flat.
Like wallets, IDs, passports,
watches, or pictures of them,
screen grabs of their Facebook accounts.
When they looked at his phone,
there was some contact details
of some of the victims contained in there.
Or even smaller things, belt buckles perhaps,
that were regarded as souvenirs by Sinaga,
and he kept them to remember his victims by.
A sort of trophy, really.
And that's how police began this process
of trying to identify his victims.
Because the victims don't know
or didn't know until the police told them
that they had been offended against.
And because he hasn't in any way
volunteered information to the police
we've had to work with what the phone tells us.
They had certain material to be able to identify some people.
So the police has to go to people's houses to identify them.
And yeah, it must be an incredibly difficult moment
when you get that knock on the door.
And there are several men who got the knock on the door
from the police and were told what had happened,
and said to them, "You must have the wrong guy.
You must be mistaken because it didn't happen to me.
I would know if that happened to me."
But they were shown screen grabs of themselves on Sinaga's phone
and yeah, realised that actually had happened to them.
So when the story broke, a tweet actually emerged of two guys,
one of whom was Sinaga looking quite happy.
And the guy had tweeted in 2016 after staying over at Sinaga's house
to thank him for rescuing him on a night out,
only when it became clear in the news
that Sinaga was a rapist and what his modus operandi was.
And was it clear he hadn't rescued this guy at all,
he'd raped him or sexually assaulted him
and that was how that guy actually found out
that he'd been a victim and he hadn't been rescued at all.
The conversation then moves straight into victim care.
And after more deliberation and conversation,
we collectively decided
that the best people to support the police in that
were the crisis workers over at the SARC,
at the Sexual Assault Referral Centre.
They never wanted me to actually see the videos,
but they did take screenshots of it to prove that was me.
It was like a screenshot of me like almost asleep.
Of me, of my face, of my t-shirt as well
and the jeans, the trousers I was wearing that day.
I saw about four or five screenshots that proved that was me.
It was very, again, very surreal to see me like that.
It was weird.
I was just part of the case.
I knew I had to deal with it just to be able to get on with it.
So I did, and then he could be walking free.
I think we were sat in the office when we first heard how many victims
there might have been.
Someone said it's around 200.
And we were like, "No, this can't possibly be,"
because we would have heard of it.
The police would have told us,
so we didn't initially believe it to be true.
But we walked across the road,
went to Manchester Crown Court, and the trial was underway.
And I thought, "I must be in the wrong trial."
I just couldn't stop looking at him.
He was tiny in comparison
to two security officers he was sat in between.
He had shoulder length hair and quite trendy glasses.
He had a baggy jumper on. He was carrying a file.
He looked studious.
He looked clever.
He looked friendly.
He was chatting with his two security officers.
And most of all, really, he looked completely harmless.
I guess that's the thing that makes him most dangerous,
it's how harmless he actually looks,
because that's what fooled a lot of men into believing
that they could go back to his flat and they'd be safe there.
It was just incredible,
literally incredible,
because it just didn't seem to fit the man who was sat in the dock.
And we had the first batch of 12 victims for the first trial.
All the while, material was being downloaded from the phones,
more and more victims were being identified.
There was obviously the challenge
of having to watch quite disturbing footage,
quite unpleasant footage
from the downloads from Sinaga's phones.
It was played in court in full.
The Press couldn't see it, but jurors watched it.
Sinaga himself watched it, the lawyers watched it.
The judge had our own screen to watch it on as well.
Some people tried not to look for too long,
especially at the start of the trials,
jurors were really uncomfortable
about watching this footage for too long,
until they realised that the whole trial essentially
was going to be watching this footage for hours on end.
He, you know, maintained...
Some of it was sort of a macabre role-play.
He insisted on maintaining his "not guilty" plea,
that the victims had all consented to this activity.
We obviously countered
his suggestion of this being consensual
by saying, "Well, look at the videos, Mr. Sinaga.
These people are comatose.
Some of them are snoring whilst the activity is going on.
Some are vomiting.
Are you really trying to suggest
that these victims consented to all this?"
I stood facing the jury, he was to the left of me.
And I get my evidence to the jury.
They'd already seen my videotape of what happened to me.
So they're basically just crosses out and leave me at this point.
In the court, he was laughing and joking with the prison officer
while I was watching him.
He thought he was so important. It's his day. He was special.
After the end of the first trial, Sinaga was aware
that he'd been convicted.
After the end of the second trial, he had been told
he would be serving at least 15 years.
He insisted on maintaining his not guilty plea,
even in the fourth trial.
Yeah, he just really seemed to be enjoying the process
and showing absolutely no remorse whatsoever during his sentencing,
which is the time when,
if these people are going to say anything,
before they're taken down for the next 30 years
and are never seen in public again,
they'll say something, it's their final chance.
But he said nothing.
He was really blasted about the whole thing.
The judge didn't take kindly to that.
I remember she ordered him to stand up while she addressed him,
while she sentenced him.
He looked straight ahead at her.
His hands were clasped in front of him like this.
At the end of it, she just looked really sternly at him and said,
"Take him down, take him away."
And the two dock officers just let him down,
and he didn't really look at anyone on his way out.
He just had this sort of thing... a smile on his face almost.
One can only assume that he takes some sort of delight,
get some sort of kick out of watching his victims
have to go through it in court, give evidence,
describe in detail what happened to them.
In the same way, presumably, he derived some sort of satisfaction
from replaying what was on his phone
to watch the acts over and over again.
Was there ever any sort of psychological analysis of him?
No, because he won't, he would have to agree to that sort of analysis,
that sort of assessment in custody.
And to my knowledge, he's just disengaged entirely
with the authorities
that would do that sort of thing in our prison service.
So again, he remains
something of a mystery in that regard.
He was just the ultimate narcissist.
He enjoyed people speaking about him,
he enjoyed talking about himself,
and even tried to do a PhD on sort of sexual behaviour
of Southeast Asian men in Manchester,
which his ex-flatmate said was basically an autobiography.
He was just a man sort of totally wrapped up in his own world.
Personally speaking, I think that we are certainly
on some kind of...
psychopath spectrum, for want of a better word.
The way that he has conducted himself in court...
I just think there's something very...
unnatural about that kind of behaviour.
The Sinaga case is a prime example of why rape isn't about sex,
or sexuality or sexual orientation.
It's about power.
He preyed on men who were heterosexual,
but, as you know, a good-looking guy in a liberal city,
he could have had lots of sexual relationships
with consenting men if he'd have chosen to do so.
But obviously for him it was about this kind of dominance
over these guys and taking something that wasn't his.
His modus operandi, I guess, as an offender
was driven by this kind of power and control over people, it seems.
Sinaga seemed to get some perverse satisfaction
of not just himself being able to watch the footage back,
but all these people in this courtroom
and the judge herself being able to watch this footage.
It was like he was enjoying the spectacle a second time.
And there was some speculation
among members of the press and lawyers
about whether he was pleading not guilty,
despite the overwhelming evidence,
just so that he could go to trial,
so that he could then watch all this footage again.
He never looked lost during my case.
And the judge's last statement on the last case
was he wanted to take it to court,
he wanted to be the celebrity almost.
The judge called Reynhard Sinaga "an evil sexual predator,
who had shown not a just of remorse."
Being a serial rapist, he's starting a life sentence tonight
after he was found guilty of attacking at least 48 men.
In these four criminal trials
that have been going on over the past two years,
the police suspects there could be up to 190 victims of Sinaga in total
over a 10-year campaign of violence, sexual crime
based out of his flat in central Manchester.
The Judge Suzanne Goddard QC
described Reynhard Sinaga as a monster,
and looking at him as he stood in the dock,
she said he seemed to be enjoying the trial process
even as he was standing to be sentenced.
And the other thing that we have just found in the last few minutes
is that the Home Secretary has ordered the review.
Sinaga will serve at least 30 years in jail.
Ben Chapman reports.
More and more people are coming forward
when this sentencing happened
and the story went out into the public domain.
There is this huge rush of people to charities
like Survivors Manchester and Survivors UK saying,
"I think I may have been abused by this man."
So I think rape, sexual abuse of man
is much more common than people think,
than kind of what the media would have us believe.
What gets into the public consciousness
is just the tip of the iceberg.
These four criminal trials...
When the news broke about Sinaga, one of his victims' tweet emerged.
And some of the comments in response to the tweet
were absolutely horrific.
People kind of making fun of him,
homophobic jokes about sex with a man and so on.
Ridiculing him as a man who've been raped,
and not taking it seriously at all,
which I think reflects the view our society to a large extent has
about men being raped
and men kind of been victimised in that way.
What a lot of men experience when they speak out about rape
or the way that a man being raped is kind of the source of ridicule,
rather than treat it as a very serious, traumatising crime.
Shame and guilt have become the hallmark of the male survivor,
of the male victim.
And I think that's something really important
about shame, guilt, vulnerability...
They're not the attributes of the prince on the horseback.
If we continue to perpetuate those ideas,
we're never going to allow men to speak out.
Especially in my situation, I felt like I was less believed.
I'm not bashing the police.
You could say they even think it can actually happen,
but it's not true, is it?
If a woman did that,
they would've been praise for saving themselves while I was arrested.
Many men speak of being strong,
and like a lot of that stigmatises, but the normal male way is,
"We don't talk," and it's just...
It does happen.
This is probably as common as women, but no one ever talks about it.
If it was a girl, they were sent her straight to St. Mary's,
get her checked out, and then if you are not...
Not the other way round and wait, two, three days after it.
The drug that he used stays maximum 12 hours to get out of your systems.
It gets out of your system
and you've lost major part of evidence there.
I wasn't sent to St. Mary's,
I was basically pursued for 24 hours.
I was the perpetrator and he was the victim.
Until they found the phone evidence that proves otherwise.
I'd like to think I will be fine, I've just tried to get on with it.
I'm alive, if he's away,
I don't need all the extra stuff after.
We've got to be the change makers.
We've got to make sure that the future boys
are going to come forward, because let's be clear,
we are not going to tackle sexual violence like that.
It just isn't going to happen.
But what we've got to do is we've got to make sure
that any future survivors, any future victims,
any future boys that are abused, any future men that are raped,
we've got to make sure that they understand
there is support available.
We've got to make sure that there is support available.
And we've got to make sure it is as easy as possible
for people to step forward.
So I think no matter what you...
if you think it's happened to you then you got to come forward.
The stigma of male rape is very much...
You can't talk about and all.
Men don't talk whereas... He doesn't, like...
He's eating you up from the inside.
When you can talk to people about it, it helps you.
There's support in Manchester, in all the areas,
where you can be supported and get through it.
I'm just another boy from Manchester who just wants to live his life.
How likely or how plausible is it
that there are further victims yet that we don't know about?
I think there are, there will almost certainly be
further victims that we don't know of yet.
As I say, we've had to really just restrict our inquiry
to what Sinaga's phones have revealed.
There could be phones, other devices that he's got rid of.
Yeah, there's still people who don't know.
There will be people who don't know.
And there'll be people who won't want to know either.
But the police
are still trying to address as many people as possible.
They'll be looking at all these souvenirs,
trying to connect them.
There remain quite a significant number
that despite our best efforts,
have not been able to be identified.
And the police continue to try to work out who these men are,
but without so much success as we speak now.
Whether there'll ever be a final tally
of how many people he actually attacked,
remains to be seen.
It's really a known...
I think that 200 figure
is from the souvenirs
that police have been able to trace to people.
So that may, in some ways, be a conservative figure.
We just don't know.
The only person who might have any idea
is citing strange words.
And for the time that he's been in there,
which is more than two years, in August, being in prison,
he's been refusing to engage with detectives,
he's been refusing to engage with psychologists,
he's been refusing to engage with probation officers.
The only one with the answers in this is Reynhard Sinaga.
He's the only one who really knows the extent of what he's done.
I just think it would be ludicrous to assume
that everybody who has been directly impacted by Sinaga
has now spoken out.
I think that would be ludicrous, to assume that.
Even if it's just one person that hasn't spoken out,
there's still someone out there.
There may also be people out there who have just no idea what happened.
There'll be people out there watching this
who have never spoken out,
who are sat there silently,
wondering whether they should say anything.
There are people who will be out there
watching this documentary who are...
worried about anybody ever finding out what happened to them.
I'd always say to everybody,
doesn't matter whether they have been
directly or indirectly affected by this particular case.
There are people who are willing to listen
and there are people that want to help,
and when you feel ready,
then you should know that there are people
willing to give you that right support.
